Patents by Inventor Ansoo Lee

Ansoo Lee has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11691958
    Abstract: Disclosed are enantioselective cross dehydrogenative coupling reactions for synthesizing tetrahydropyran compounds. Novel tetrahydropyran compounds may be synthesized by the disclosed methods as well as tetrahydropyran precursor compounds for synthesizing various naturally occurring compounds. The enantioselective cross dehydrogenative coupling reactions utilize in situ Lewis Acid activation in combination with oxidative formation of an oxocarbenium ion to provide a highly efficient and selective coupling reaction for synthesizing tetrahydropyran compounds.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 15, 2021
    Date of Patent: July 4, 2023
    Assignee: Northwestern University
    Inventors: Karl A. Scheidt, Ansoo Lee, Richard C. Betori
  • Patent number: 11440892
    Abstract: Disclosed are dihydrobenzoxazinone compounds, dihydroquinolone compounds, and methods of their synthesis. The disclosed compounds may be prepared by reacting a benzoxazinedione compound and a ketone compound in the presence of an N-heterocyclic carbine (NHC) catalyst to perform a NHC-catalyzed decarboxylative cycloaddition. The disclosed compounds may be utilized to treat diseases and disorders associated with the biological activity of dihydrobenzoxazinone compounds and dihydroquinolone compounds.
