Diamine Synthesis via the Nitrogen-Directed Azidation of sigma- and pi-C-C Bonds

Jérôme Waser, Mingming Wang

Diamines are essential building blocks for the synthesis of agrochemicals, drugs, and organic materials, yet their synthesis remains challenging, as both nitrogens need to be differentiated and diverse substitution patterns (1,2, 1,3, or 1,4) are required. ...

Triazene-Activated Donor–Acceptor Cyclopropanes: Ring-Opening and (3 + 2) Annulation Reactions

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Jérôme Waser, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Abdusalom Suleymanov, Zhaowen Dong, Bastian Antoine Rodolphe Claude Muriel, Eliott Hugo Joran Le Du

Donor–acceptor cyclopropanes substituted with 3,3-dialkyltriazenyl groups are described herein. The strong electron-donating character of the triazene renders the cyclopropanes highly reactive, allowing for catalyst-free ring-opening reactions with methano ...

In Situ Formation of Frustrated Lewis Pairs in a Water-Tolerant Metal-Organic Framework for the Transformation of CO2

Paul Joseph Dyson, Fatmah Ebrahim, Serhii Shyshkanov, Kyriakos Stylianou, Ngoc Tú Nguyên

Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) consist of sterically hindered Lewis acids and Lewis bases, which provide high catalytic activity towards non-metal-mediated activation of "inert" small molecules, including CO2 among others. One critical issue of homogeneous ...

Decarboxylative C(sp3)–N cross-coupling via synergetic photoredox and copper catalysis

Xile Hu, Runze Mao, Jonathan Balon, Adrian Frey

Amines are a quintessential moiety in bioactive molecules, pharmaceuticals and organic materials. Transition-metal-catalysed C–N coupling of aryl electrophiles has been established as a powerful and reliable method for amine synthesis. However, the analogo ...
