Enantioselective rhodium(I)-catalyzed reactions of tert-cyclobutanols, e.g. I, lead to indanones with quaternary stereogenic centers, e.g. II, via consecutive C-C/C-H/C-C bond activations. ...
The cyclopentadienyl Ru complexes CpRuCl(cod) (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene), CpRuCl(PPh3)2, and [CpRuCl2]2 (Cp = η5-1-methoxy-2,4-di-tert-butyl-3-neopentylcyclopentadienyl) are able to catalyze the decomposition of benzyl azides to give 1,3,5-triphenyl-2,4- ...
A highly efficient iron-catalyzed production of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) from sugar is reported. The dehydration of fructose and sucrose has been studied in the presence of different iron salts and co-catalysts. As a result, it was found that fructose ...
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 ...
The catalytic effect of tetraphenylporphyrin on the oxygen reduction with ferrocene in 1,2-dichloroethane can be finely tuned by varying the molar ratio of the acid to the catalyst present in the solution. The mechanism involves binding of molecular oxygen ...
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 nanoscale description of the reaction pathways and of the role of the intermediate species involved in a chemical process is a crucial milestone for tailoring more active, stable, and cheaper catalysts, thus providing "reaction engineering" capabilitie ...
Parahydrogen-induced polarization was observed in the gas phase heterogeneous hydrogenation of propyne catalyzed by Pd-0 nanoparticles embedded in an ionic liquid phase supported on activated carbon fibers (Pd-0/SILP/ACF). The results were markedly differe ...
The goal of this thesis is to develop new carbon-carbon bond forming reactions using inexpensive and simple coupling partners like aryl halides (pseudohalides), sulfonyl derivatives, Grignard reagents, alkenes and alkynes with metal catalysis, preferably u ...
Recent advances in the liquid-phase synthesis of metal nanostructures of different sizes and shapes are reviewed regarding their catalytic properties. The controlled synthesis of nanostructures is based on the colloid chemistry techniques in the solution, ...
