Lewis acid catalyzed [4+2] annulation of bicyclobutanes with dienol ethers for the synthesis of bicyclo[4.1.1]octanes

Jérôme Waser, Stefano Nicolai

Bicyclic carbocycles containing a high fraction of Csp3 have become highly attractive synthetic targets because of the multiple applications they have found in medicinal chemistry. The formal cycloaddition of bicyclobutanes (BCBs) with two- or three-atom p ...

Direct conversion of lignin to functionalized diaryl ethers via oxidative cross-coupling

Paul Joseph Dyson, Mingyang Liu

Efficient valorization of lignin, a sustainable source of functionalized aromatic products, would reduce dependence on fossil-derived feedstocks. Oxidative depolymerization is frequently applied to lignin to generate phenolic mono- mers. However, due to th ...

Chlorination of arenes via the degradation of toxic chlorophenols

Paul Joseph Dyson, Mingyang Liu, Xuemei Yang

Aryl chlorides are among the most versatile synthetic precursors, and yet inexpensive and benign chlorination techniques to produce them are underdeveloped. We propose a process to generate aryl chlorides by chloro-group transfer from chlorophenol pollutan ...

Coupling-dependent convergence behavior of phase oscillators with tegotae-control

Auke Ijspeert, Jonathan Patrick Arreguit O'Neill, Simon Lukas Hauser, Matthieu Guillaume Marie Dujany

A bio-inspired way to model locomotion is using a network of coupled phase oscillators to create a Central Pattern Generator (CPG). The recently developed feedback control method tegotae includes exteroceptive force feedback into the governing phase update ...

Synthetic methodologies for C-C and C-N bond formation involving alkyl radicals

Guido Barzanò

C-C and C-N bonds are some of the most common structures in molecules ranging from drugs to catalysts and to food additives. Many coupling reactions were developed to form these types of bonds with excellent selectivity and good performance. Still, the syn ...

Nickamine and Analogous Nickel Pincer Catalysts for Cross-Coupling of Alkyl Halides and Hydrosilylation of Alkenes

Xile Hu, Zhikun Zhang, Renyi Shi

CONSPECTUS: Ligand development plays an essential role in the advance of homogeneous catalysis. Tridentate, meridionally coordinating ligands, commonly termed pincer ligands, have been established as a privileged class of ligands in catalysis because they ...

AMER CHEMICAL SOC2019

Asymmetric metal-catalyzed C-H functionalization is a powerful strategy for the rapid generation of complex target molecules from simple precursors. While aryl (pseudo) halides have been used as electrophilic substrates in enantioselective Pd(0)-catalyzed ...

Exploitation of Unconventional Electrophiles in Enantioselective Pd(0)-Catalyzed C-H Functionalizations

Daria Grosheva

Asymmetric metal-catalyzed C-H functionalization has enjoyed great success as a powerful strategy for the rapid construction of elaborate structures from simple precursors. For example, aryl (pseudo)halides have been extensively employed as electrophilic s ...
