An expedited method has been developed for the diastereoselective synthesis of highly functionalized alkyl-azaarene systems with good yields and high diastereoselectivities (>15: 1 dr). The methodology includes a synergistic catalysis event involving organometallic (10 mol% AgOAc) activation of an alkyl azaarene and Lewis base (10 mol% DABCO) activation of a Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonate. The structure and relative configuration of a representative product were confirmed by X-ray analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: This review describes the state of the art in the field of polyoxometalates containing noble metal atoms (ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, silver, osmium, iridium, platinum and gold). The structures of the various species are listed together with their applications (mainly in catalysis). [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

A new reaction based on synergistic catalysis, in which two catalytic cycles involving organometallic activation of an alkyl azaarene by AgOAc and Lewis base (DABCO) activation of a Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates, is developed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
