The key step in the trans-selective modification of the Wittig reaction is the a-lithiation of the lithium bromide coordinated ylide-aldehyde adduct (the so-called "P-betaine"). The olefination reactions were carried out for RCHO and [R1CH2PPh3]Br (R = C ...
A new tandem reaction leads to bicyclic cyclohexene derivatives with complete control of the relative configuration of the four chiral centers formed. The high diastereoselectivity is the consequence of an endo-selective Diels-Alder reaction followed by an ...
A -75 DegC, alpha-lithiated allyl Ph ether undergoes mainly the Wittig rearrangement to afford, after acidic hydrolysis, 1-phenyl-2-propen-1-ol as the main product. A second metalation taking place at one of the ortho positions is the sole competing side r ...
The exchange reaction of the trinuclear macrocycles [(C6H3iPr3)Ru(C5H3NO2)]3 (AAA) and [(cymene)Ru(C5H3NO2)]3 (BBB) has been studied. It was found that the equilibration proceeds in two steps and that the final mixture is completely dominated by the mixed- ...
After alpha,alpha'-dimetalation, both 2,2'-diallyloxy-1,1'-binaphthyl and 2,2'-di-2-methylallyloxy-1,1'-binaphthyl undergo the Wittig rearrangement with perfect diastereoselectivity. When racemic 1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diol ("BINOL") is used as the starting ...
The reaction of [(η6-p-cymene)RuCl2]2 with some bis(phosphane) ligands (dppm, dppe, dppv, dppa, dpp14b, dppf) has been investigated. In general mixtures of products were obtained, although the pendant phosphane complexes [( ...
(2,6-Dichlorophenyl)trimethyl- and triethylsilane exhibit untypical reactivity patterns toward strong bases: when treated at -100 °C with lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide two, with sec- or tert-butyllithium even three organometallic intermediates are ...
Enhanced activity, lower catalyst loading, shorter reaction time, and expanded substrate scope are the advantages of [Mn(dpm)3] over Co catalysts in the hydrohydrazination reaction of alkenes. Thus, sterically hindered alkenes, including tetrasubstituted a ...
In this work, a low-temperature thick-film dielectric consisting of a high-lead low-temperature glass with a reactive nanoscale filler is characterised to enable deposition of thick-film electronics onto substrates such as glass and metals (steel, aluminiu ...
The first aza-C-disaccharide (D-azaMan-beta-CHz-(1 -> 6)-D-Man-alpha-OMe) that mimicks alpha-D-Manp-(1 -> 6)-alpha-D-ManOMe was made in 1994 by Johnson and coworkers. Several synthetic approaches to these disaccharide mimetics have been proposed. These are ...
