Carbon–Carbon Bond-Forming Reactions of α-Thioaryl Carbonyl Compounds for the Synthesis of Complex Heterocyclic Molecules
Strategies for the formation of carbon–carbon
bonds from
the α-thioaryl carbonyl products of substituted lactams are
described. Although direct functionalization is possible, a two step
process of oxidation and magnesium-sulfoxide exchange has proven optimal.
The oxidation step results in the formation of two diastereomers that
exhibit markedly different levels of stability toward elimination,
which is rationalized on the basis of quantum mechanical calculations
and X-ray crystallography. Treatment of the sulfoxide with <i>i</i>-PrMgCl results in the formation of a magnesium enolate
that will undergo an intramolecular Michael addition reaction to form
two new stereogenic centers. The relationship between the substitution
patterns of the sulfoxide substrate and the efficiency of the magnesium
exchange reaction are also described

The Landscape of Leadership in Environmental Governance: a Case Study from Solomon Islands
© 2017, Springer Science+Business Media New York. Sustainability science suggests a core set of factors that foster significant change in governance, with leaders and entrepreneurs often identified as the main instigators. Discussions of leadership in governance transformations often focus on key charismatic people, underplaying contestation and the complex landscape of leadership. We present an empirical study that uses a participatory network mapping approach to provide a broader examination of leadership in integrated conservation and development. We use the Coral Triangle Initiative in Solomon Islands as an example of potential transformation in environmental governance across multiple objectives. Our analysis shows that actants, other than key individuals, enact leadership. We illustrate that a different suite of actants are providing leadership for each of the three Coral Triangle Initiative objectives. Actants can enact leadership by positively and negatively influencing different goals to varying extents. Our study illustrates the potential of broader and more nuanced understandings of leadership in environmental governance
