Abstract
The interest in the chemistry of saturated oxazolones continues unabated in virtue of their usefulness as intermediates in the synthesis of highly substituted heterocycles. This review attempts to present the prolific development of recent years in this area and gives a critical and unified account of azlactones under the following headings: saturated oxazolone synthesis; generation of cyclic azomethine ylide intermediates and relative oxazolone/imine cycloadditions and oxazolone/alkene cycloadditions; general overview of their usefulness in the functionalization of carbon nanomaterials and in the synthesis of pharmaceutically and biologically intriguing compounds. A particular attention is reserved to the enantioselective oxazolone cycloaddition processes for both known synthetic approaches: chiral induction by metal catalysts and asymmetric activation by organocatalysts.
Keywords: Azlactones, enantioselective1, 3-dipolar cycloaddition, imidazoline, NF-κB inhibitors, oxazolones, proteasome inhibitors, pyrrolidine.

Carbohydrates conversion in biofuels and bioproducts
Biomass pretreatment, hydrolysis, and saccharification of carbohydrates, and sugars bioconversion in biofuels and bioproducts within a biorefinery framework. Carbohydrates derived from woody biomass, agricultural wastes, algae, sewage sludge, or any other lignocellulosic feedstock are included in this issue. Simulation, techno-economic analysis, and life cycle analysis of a biorefinery process are ...read more
Catalytic C-H bond activation as a tool for functionalization of heterocycles
The major topic is the functionalization of heterocycles through catalyzed C-H bond activation. The strategies based on C-H activation not only provide straightforward formation of C-C or C-X bonds but, more importantly, allow for the avoidance of pre-functionalization of one or two of the cross-coupling partners. The beneficial impact of ...read more
