The present thesis work concerns the preparation and optionally site selective functionalization of five- and six-membered nitrogen heterocycles and the investigation of atropisomerism of α,o-bis(methoxymethyl)-1-phenylindole. Mono- and disubstituted 2-bro ...
A review. Only the most important methods for the generation of organometallic reagents and intermediates are covered in this review. This holds for the reductive insertion of Li into org. halides, the permutational interconversion of org. halides with org ...
T-BuP(NH2)2 reacts with base-stabilized group 13 tri-hydrides with adduct formation (THF-BH3), with redn. to give t-BuPH2 (Me3N-AlH3) and with elimination of H22 and formation of a metallonitridophosphinate (Me3N-GaH3). In contrast, the reaction with Cp*Ti ...
Depending on the choice of the reagent, 2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine can be selectively metalated and subsequently carboxylated or otherwise functionalized either at the 3- or at the 6-position. "Optional site selectivity" can also be achieved with 4-(trifl ...
Consecutive treatment of (trifluoromethoxy)benzene with sec-butyllithium and electrophilic reagents affords previously inaccessible ortho-substituted derivs. in generally excellent yields. 2-(Trifluoromethoxy)phenyllithium acts as the key intermediate. The ...
The title reaction is realized by using an isolated NiII complex (1). The catalysis tolerates a wide range of important functional groups that are often incompatible with Grignard reagents in cross-coupling reactions. ...
2-Methylprop-2-ene-, prop-2-ene-, 1-methylprop-2-ene-, and (E)-but-2-enesulfonyl chlorides have been used as electrophilic partners in desulfinylative palladium- catalyzed C–C coupling with Grignard reagents and sodium salts of dimethyl malonate and methyl ...
NiII complexes of the new pincer amidobis(amine) ligand are described. The Ni chloride complex catalyzes Kumada-Corriu-Tamao coupling of unactivated alkyl halides with alkyl Grignard reagents, as well as double C-C coupling of CH2Cl2 with alkyl Grignard re ...
A new one-pot synthesis of sulfoxides is presented. It involves the bora-ene reaction of sulfur dioxide and prop-2-ene-1-boronic esters, giving mixed anhydrides of sulfinic and boric acids. The latter react chemoselectively at the sulfur center with Grigna ...
This thesis deals with a laboratory study of heterogeneous reactions involving bromine and chlorine containing reservoir species on alkali salt substrates which are relevant to the marine boundary layer, and on ice substrates which are relevant to the lowe ...
