Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling Reactions of Unactivated Alkyl Halides Catalyzed by a Nickel Pincer Complex

Xile Hu, Thomas Clément Di Franco, Nicolas Francis Michel Boutin

A nickel(II) pincer complex, [((N2N)-N-Me)Ni-Cl], was used to catalyze alkyl-alkyl and alkyl-aryl Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions of unactivated alkyl halides. The coupling of 9-alkyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane and 9-phenyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane rea ...

Nickel-catalyzed diastereoselective alkyl-alkyl Kumada coupling

Xile Hu, Peng Ren, Pablo Marcelo Perez Garcia, Alessio Orsino

A nickel pincer complex is found to catalyze alkyl–alkyl Kumada coupling reactions of 1,3- and 1,4-substituted cyclohexyl halides and tetrahydropyrans with an excellent diastereoselectivity. The mechanistic investigation of the coupling reactions provides ...

Synthesis and reactivity of bis(diphenylphosphino)amine ligands and their application in Suzuki cross-coupling reactions

Rosario Scopelliti

Two new bis(diphenylphosphino) amines, N,N-bis(diphenylphosphino) benzidine 1 and N, N-bis(diphenylphosphino)- 3,3-dimethoxybenzidine 2 were prepared by aminolysis. Their corresponding oxides, sulfides and selenides were readily prepared by reaction with h ...

Creating Tertiary and Quaternary Carbon Centers by Nickel and Copper-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions of Alkyl Electrophiles

Peng Ren

Transition-metal-catalyzed C-C coupling reactions have been extensively studied in the past three decades. These reactions have become invaluable to fundamental research and industrial applications, because they can be used construct complicated molecules ...

Total Synthesis of Cyrneine A

Karl Gademann, Cindy Fellay

The tricyclic diterpene cyrneine A featuring a hexatrienal unit was prepared synthetically for the first time by a Heck reaction, a carbene ring expansion, and a reductive carbonylation. The structure of the natural product was assigned by X‐ray crystal an ...

Unravelling cross-recurrence: coupling across timescales

Patrick Jermann, Marc-Antoine Nüssli

We present an extension of cross-recurrence analysis for dual gaze analysis which is suited for complex situations where for instance the objects of interest are not all visible at all times or when stimulus exploration is not homogeneous. The typicical si ...

Synchronization in the presence of distributed delays

Andrew Charles Oates

We study systems of identical coupled oscillators introducing a distribution of delay times in the coupling. For arbitrary network topologies, we show that the frequency and stability of the fully synchronized states depend only on the mean of the delay di ...

Unificaxion

Riccardo Rattazzi

Dark matter, gauge coupling unification, and the strong CP problem find a common and simple solution (in the absence of naturalness) within axion models. We show that such a solution, even without specifying the details of the model implementation, makes t ...

Ni-catalyzed cross coupling of non-activated alkyl halides: a mechanistic perspective

Xile Hu

Cross coupling of non-activated alkyl halides is a potentially transformative methodology in organic synthesis. Herein we review the recent development of nickel-catalyzed coupling of non-activated alkyl halides. The current understanding of the mechanism ...
