The Genesis of Molecular Volcano Plots

Matthew Wodrich, Michael Markus Busch, Boodsarin Sawatlon

For the past two decades, linear free energy scaling relationships and volcano plots have seen frequent use as computational tools that aid in understanding and predicting the catalytic behavior of heterogeneous and electrocatalysts. Based on Sabatier's pr ...

Desymmetrization of Prochiral Cyclopentenes Enabled by Enantioselective Palladium-Catalyzed Oxidative Heck Reaction

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Jian Cao, Guihua Chen

In the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(TFA)2 and a chiral Pyox ligand under oxygen atmosphere, oxidative Heck reaction between arylboronic acids and 4- substituted or 4,4-disubstituted cyclopent-1-enes afforded the chiral arylated products with concur ...

Enantioselective C(sp(3))-C(sp(3)) cross-coupling of non-activated alkyl electrophiles via nickel hydride catalysis

Xile Hu, Runze Mao, Srikrishna Bera

Cross-coupling of two alkyl fragments is an efficient method to produce organic molecules rich in sp(3)-hybridized carbon centres, which are attractive candidate compounds in drug discovery. Enantioselective C(sp(3))-C(sp(3)) coupling is challenging, espec ...
