Copper(I) Acetate: A Structurally Simple but Highly Efficient Dinuclear Catalyst for Copper-Catalyzed Azide-Alkyne Cycloaddition

ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 10 2010
Changwei Shao
Abstract In this article, the structurally well-defined dinuclear complex copper(I) acetate was studied in detail and was developed as a highly practical and efficient catalyst for the copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition. The "bare" phenylethynylcopper(I) (i.e., with no exogeneous ligands) was isolated as an intermediate, which can be converted into an active catalytic species by treatment with acetic acid (in situ produced in the reaction) to efficiently catalyze the azide-alkyne cycloaddition under mild conditions.

A General Approach to the Synthesis of ,2 -Amino Acid Derivatives via Highly Efficient Catalytic Asymmetric Hydrogenation of ,-Aminomethylacrylates

ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 9 2010

Abstract A new strategy was developed for the synthesis of a valuable class of ,-aminomethylacrylates via the Baylis,Hillman reaction of different aldehydes with methyl acrylate followed by acetylation of the resulting allylic alcohols and SN2,-type amination of the allylic acetates. Asymmetric hydrogenation of these diverse olefinic precursors using rhodium(Et-Duphos) catalysts provided the corresponding ,2 -amino acid derivatives with excellent enantioselectivities and exceedingly high reactivities (up to >99.5% ee and S/C=10,000). The first hydrogenation of (Z)-configurated substrates was studied for the synthesis of ,2 -amino acid derivatives. The high influence of the substrate geometry and steric hindrance on the reactivity and enantioselectivity was also disclosed for this reaction. This protocol provides a highly practical, facile and scalable method for the preparation of optically pure ,2 -amino acids and their derivatives under mild reaction conditions. [source]


Clinical science and human behavior

JOURNAL OF CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY, Issue 9 2001
Joseph J. Plaud
The debate between mentalism/cognitivism and behaviorism is analyzed, and it is concluded that behaviorism is the philosophy more closely associated with psychology as a behavioral science, the cognitive approach being more closely aligned with biological science. Specific objections to mentalistic interpretations of behavioral phenomena are detailed, and examples from clinical psychology are used to show the importance of behavioral approaches in applied domains. It is argued that the relation between behavior theory and clinical psychology is critical to the continued advancement of applied psychology. Behavior analysis is offered as a direct, applied extension of behavior theory as well as a highly practical and effective approach for understanding, explaining, and modifying the factors that contribute to and maintain maladaptive behaviors. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
