Papers
821	Stereoselective preparation of a key intermediate toward the synthesis of nelfinavir		A stereoselective synthesis of a key intermediate toward the synthesis of the potent HIV protease inhibitor, nelfinavir is described using an intramolecular sulfilimine as a nucleophile to functionalize an olefin as the key step.

835	1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions. Part XXI: Catalytic effects of Lewis acids on 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of C-(4-chlorophenyl)-N-phenyl nitrone to benzylidene acetophenone		Remarkable changes in reaction rate and changes in selectivity of the cycloaddition of 1 to 2 in the presence of metal triflates and magnesium bromide are reported.

843	Studies on Lewis-acid mediated domino reaction of N-protected bromomethylindoles with arenes/heteroarenes		Detailed study on Lewis-acid mediated domino reaction of N-protected 2/3-bromomethylindoles with arenes and heteroarenes is reported. Two distinct mechanistic pathways for the formation of carbazoles starting from 1-phenylsulfonyl/1-tert-butoxycarbonyl bromomethylindoles have been proposed.

858	Exploring structure indenture of some aminopyrazolopyridine ureas as potent VEGFR/PDGFR multitargeted kinase inhibitors: A QSAR approach		QSAR models have been developed for a series of aminopyrazolopyridine ureas as KDR, VEGFR and PDGFR kinases inhibitors. The study suggests that the KDR inhibitors have significant correlation with hydrophobic, steric (principle moment of inertia of Y-component) and thermodynamic (polar surface area and bend energy) properties of the molecule.

	Notes
868	Regioselective NaBH4 and DIBAL-H reductions of 3,4-dimethoxyhomopiperonylphthalimide: Concise and efficient synthesis of nuevamine and isonuevamine		Facile synthesis of nuevamine and isonuevamine has been reported via the regioselective reduction of hindered and unhindered carbonyl groups of 3,4-dimethoxyhomopiperonylphthalimide, respectively using the sodium borohydride and diisobutylaluminum hydride, followed by an acid catalyzed intramolecular dehydrative cyclization pathways. The chemistry involved in obtaining the regioselectivity has been discussed in brief.
