Ruthenium-Catalyzed Synthesis of 1,5-Dichlorides by Sequential Intermolecular Kharasch Reactions

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Aurélien Godinat, Katrin Anne Thommes, Charlotte Buron

Sequential intermolecular atom transfer radical addition reactions of activated dichlorides Cl2CRR′ (R = CN, CO2Et, R′ = H, CN, CO2Et) with two olefins catalyzed by [Cp*RuCl2(PPh3)] in the presence Mg allow the synthesis of linear 1,5-dichlorides. Differen ...

Modulating the Steric, Electronic, and Catalytic Properties of Cp* Ruthenium Half-Sandwich Complexes with β-Diketiminato Ligands

Paul Joseph Dyson, Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin, Andrew Douglas Phillips, Katrin Anne Thommes, Dominique Schreiber

Five different types of β-diketiminate ligands, bearing electron-donating to strongly electron-withdrawing substituents, were synthesized and used in the synthesis of Cp* ruthenium complexes (Cp* = η5-C5Me5). One series consists of complexes with a covalen ...

Novel Approaches for Ruthenium Catalyzed Atom Transfer Radical Addition Reactions

Katrin Anne Thommes

A new catalytic procedure for atom-transfer radical addition (ATRA) and cyclization (ATRC) reactions is described. The combination of the ruthenium(III) complex [RuCl2Cp*(PPh3)] with magnesium allows these reactions to be performed under mild conditions wi ...

The catalytic activity of [Cp*OsBr2(PPh3)] in conjunction with Mg has been evaluated for atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) and cyclization (ATRC) reactions. The Os complex enabled these reactions to be performed with similar efficiency as that of the a ...

In organic synthesis, cyclopropanation reactions are often performed with Simmons Smith-type reagents or by transition metal catalyzed reactions of olefins with diazo compounds. A novel method for the synthesis of substituted cyclopropanes is described tha ...
