For the enantioselective diversification of a single starting material, a different chiral catalyst is usually required for each transformation. Herein, we extend the concept of catalytically formed chiral auxiliary from hydrogenation to the asymmetric cyc ...
a-Amino ketones and 1,2-amino alcohols are important structural motifs in organic chemistry, that
can be observed in natural products, pharmaceutically and bioactive compounds. For these reasons,
they constitute privileged targets for the development of ne ...
The synthesis of a set of cobalt(III)-complexes equipped with trisubstituted chiral cyclopentadienyl ligands is reported, and their steric and electronic parameters are mapped. The application potential of these complexes for asymmetric C-H functionalizati ...
Our reliance on fossil fuels, which is unsustainable due to dwindling reserves, has led to various environmental issues. Lignocellulosic biomass could serve as a renewable source of carbon and energy for the production of fuels and chemicals. While several ...
Metal hydride catalyzed hydrocarbonation reactions of alkenes are an efficient approach to construct new carbon-carbon bonds from readily available alkenes. However, the regioselectivity of hydrocarbonation remains challenging to be controlled. In nickel h ...
The thesis deals with the development of transition metal-catalyzed difunctionalization of alkenes and alkynes, which can be categorized into two major topics: (1) palladium-catalyzed diamination of alkynes for the synthesis of tetracycles; (2) copper-cata ...
A series of cationic dinuclear p-cymene ruthenium complexes containing three thiolato bridges with different substituents at the sulfur atoms, (eta(6)-p-(MeC6H4Pr)-Pr-i)(2)Ru-2(mu(2)-SR1)(2)(mu(2)-SR2) (R-1 = CH2Ph, R-2 = Ph: 4; R-1 = CH2Ph, R-2 = p-( ...
Alkene functionality can be found in the majority of natural products, drugs, catalysts and organic materials. Therefore, methods of C-C double bond formation constitute a cornerstone of organic synthesis. Selective formation of either (Z)- or (E)-isomer i ...
The decomposition pathway is crucial for the applicability of LiBH 4 as a hydrogen storage material. We discuss and compare the different decomposition pathways of LiBH 4 according to the thermodynamic parameters and show the experimental ways to realize t ...
