RESUMEN
A complementary copper-catalyzed and electrochemical aminosulfonylation of O-homoallyl benzimidates and N-alkenyl amidines with sodium sulfinates was developed. The terminal alkene substrate produced sulfone-containing 1,3-oxazines and tetrahydropyrimidines in the presence of Cu(OAc)2, Ag2CO3, and DPP, and under similar reaction conditions, sulfonylated tetrahydro-1,3-oxazepines were prepared from 1-aryl-substituted O-homoallyl benzimidates in moderate to good yields. For certain electron-rich 1,1-diaryl-substituted alkene substrates, the corresponding tetrahydro-1,3-oxazepines could also be obtained in similar or even higher yields via a green electrochemical technique.
RESUMEN
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To establish a protocol of rapid clonal propagation of Dioscorea zingiberensis using mature leaves as explants.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Out the optimal hormone combinations for callus induction, adventitious bud initiation, adventitious bud multiplication and rooting were found out by using MS medium with the macroelements at half strength as basal medium and studying the effects of BA, NAA and IBA on the processes.</p><p><b>RESULT AND CONCLUSION</b>More than 80% of leaf explants formed callus when they were cultured on the media containing 1.0 - 5.0 mg x L(-1) BA and 1.0 - 2.0 mg x L(-1) NAA for 60 days; more than 60% of calli initiated adventitious buds within 50 days after they were transferred to the media containing 2.0 - 5.0 mg x L(-1) BA and 0.2 - 0.5 mg L(-1) NAA; all the adventitious buds rooted well after they were planted on the medium with 2.0 mg x L(-1) IBA for 20 days; the regenerated plantlets grew vigorously after they were transplanted and the survival rate was up to 80%.</p>
