Platinum(II)-catalyzed intermolecular hydroamination of monosubstituted allenes with secondary alkylamines.

A 1:1 mixture of (dppf)PtCl(2) and AgOTf (5 mol%) catalyzed the intermolecular hydroamination of monosubstituted allenes with secondary alkylamines at 80 degrees C to form allylic amines in good yield with selective formation of the E-diastereomer.

Acute eosinophilic pneumonia secondary to daptomycin: a report of three cases.

We describe 3 cases of daptomycin-induced pulmonary toxic effects that are consistent with drug-induced acute eosinophilic pneumonia. Patients presented similarly with dyspnea, cough, hypoxia, and diffuse ground-glass opacities at chest computed tomography. Clinical suspicion for this adverse drug event and cessation of daptomycin until definitive diagnosis can be made is crucial.
