Oxidative rearrangement of 1,1-disubstituted alkenes to ketones

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Qiang Feng

The Wacker process, which is widely used to convert monosubstituted alkenes into the corresponding methyl ketones, is thought to proceed through a PdII/Pd0 catalytic cycle involving a b-hydride elimination step. This mechanistic scenario is inapplicable to ...

(4+3) Annulation of Donor-Acceptor Cyclopropanes and Azadienes: Highly Stereoselective Synthesis of Azepanones

Jérôme Waser, Stefano Nicolai

Azepanes are important seven-membered heterocycles, which are present in numerous natural and synthetic compounds. However, the development of convergent synthetic methods to access them remains challenging. Herein, we report the Lewis acid catalyzed (4+3) ...

Mechanochemical synthesis of novel rutile-type high entropy fluorides for electrocatalysis

Seunghwa Lee, Kai Wang, Parvathy Anitha Sukkurji

Multicomponent rutile (P42/mnm) structured fluorides, containing 4 to 7 transition metals (Co, Cu, Mg, Ni, Zn, Mn, and Fe) in equiatomic ratios, were synthesized using a simple mechanochemical approach. The high entropy fluorides were characterized using d ...

Surface Reconstruction Engineering with Synergistic Effect of Mixed‐Salt Passivation Treatment toward Efficient and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Yeonju Kim, Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Filippo de Angelis, Hui-Seon Kim, Bowen Yang, Jiajia Suo

Surface passivation treatment is a widely used strategy to resolve trap-mediated nonradiative recombination toward high-efficiency metal-halide perovskite photovoltaics. However, a lack of passivation with mixture treatment has been investigated, as well a ...

Access to Vinyl Ethers and Ketones with Hypervalent Iodine Reagents as Oxy-Allyl Cation Synthetic Equivalents

Jérôme Waser, Nina Declas

We report an Umpolung strategy of enol ethers to generate oxy-allyl cation equivalents based on the use of hypervalent iodine reagents. Under mild basic conditions, the addition of nucleophiles to aryloxy-substituted vinylbenziodoxolone (VBX) reagents, eas ...

Towards the Sarpagine-Ajmaline-Macroline Family of Indole Alkaloids: Enantioselective Synthesis of an N-Demethyl Alstolactone Diastereomer

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Dylan Jean Robert Dagoneau

the strategy involving the use of functionalized tetrahydro-6H-cycloocta[b]indol-6-one is reported as a key intermediate for synthesis of members of the sarpagine-ajmaline-macroline family of monoterpene indole alkaloids. The desired tricycle was synthesiz ...

Three-Component Reaction for the Synthesis of Highly Functionalized Propargyl Ethers

Jérôme Waser, Guillaume Dominique Pisella, Alec Gagnebin

Multicomponent reactions provide efficient means to access molecular complexity. Herein, we report a copper-catalyzed three-component reaction of diazo compounds, alcohols and ethynyl benziodoxole (EBX) reagents for the synthesis of propargyl ethers. Exten ...

Mechanistic Study of Diaryl Ether Bond Cleavage during Palladium-Catalyzed Lignin Hydrogenolysis

Jeremy Luterbacher, Yuan Li

Hydrogenolysis has emerged as one of the most effective means of converting polymeric lignin into monoaromatic fragments of value. Reported yields may be higher than for other methods and can exceed the theoretical yields estimated from measures of the con ...

Neutral chiral cyclopentadienyl Ru(II)Cl catalysts enable enantioselective [2+2]-cycloadditions

Nicolai Cramer, David Kossler

Cyclopentadienyl ruthenium(II) complexes with a large number of available coordination sites are frequently used catalysts for a broad range of transformations. To be able to render these transformations enantioselective, we have designed a chiral neutral ...

Polyimidazolium Salts: Robust Catalysts for the Cycloaddition of Carbon Dioxide into Carbonates in Solvent-Free Conditions

Paul Joseph Dyson, Zhaofu Fei, Felix Daniel Bobbink, Wei Zhong

There is a growing interest in sustainable heterogeneous catalysts based on organic polymers. Here, we describe a series of polyimidazolium salt catalysts, prepared from the direct reaction of arene- bridged bis- and tris-alkyl halides with trimethylsilyli ...
