In this section, the synthesis of saturated N- and O-heterocycles via formal cycloaddition is presented. The main focus is on metal-catalyzed reactions involving C–C or C–X σ bond cleavage in three- or four-membered rings. After a fast presentation of pion ...
Non-activated alkyl halides are challenging substrates for cross-coupling reactions because they are reluctant to undergo oxidative addition and because metal alkyl intermediates are prone to β-H elimination. Despite recent progress, well-defined catalysts ...
Many nickel-based catalysts have been reported for cross-coupling reactions of nonactivated alkyl halides. The mechanistic understanding of these reactions is still primitive. Here we report a mechanistic study of alkyl-alkyl Kumada coupling catalyzed by a ...
Cross-coupling reactions of non-activated alkyl halides are potentially useful chemical transformations. At the same time, however, they are challenging due to a series of unproductive side reactions. Recently, significant progress has been made to overcom ...
The reactivity of stable tertiary enamides in nucleophilic addition reaction with various in-situ generated imines was explored. Under very mild conditions, formyl-bearing tertiary enamides reacted with both aromatic and aliphatic amines to form imine inte ...
This report describes a full study of the gold-catalyzed direct alkynylation of indoles, pyrroles, and thiophenes using alkynyl hypervalent iodine reagents, especially the study of the structural requirements of alkynyl benziodoxolones for an efficient ace ...
Triple selectivity: Highly substituted indenylamines can be obtained with high enantioselectivity by formal [3+2] additions of aryl ketimines with internal alkynes. These rhodium(I)-catalyzed processes proceed by selective C-H activation of one of the two ...
Oxidative addition of BrC CC(=O)O-menthyl (1a) to [Pd(PPh3)(4)] affords the alkynyl complex trans-[Br(PPh3)(2)Pd-C CC(=O)O-menthyl] (2a). Subsequent reaction of 2a with trifluoroacetate gives trans-[(F3CCOO)(PPh3)(2)Pd-C CC(=O)O-menthyl] (3a). Reaction of ...
In the aquatic environment and in engineered water treatment systems, organic contaminants can undergo oxidative and photochemical transformations. For an overall risk assessment, the toxicity of the resulting transformation products has to be investigated ...
The reaction of U(III) with Schiff base ligands and the reduction of U(IV) Schiff base complexes both promote C-C bond formation to afford dinuclear or mononuclear U(IV) amido complexes, which can release up to four electrons to substrates through the oxid ...
