A Pd-catalyzed method based on the use of a molecular tether is described for olefin difunctionalization. Enabled by an easily introduced trifluoroacetaldehyde-derived tether, a simultaneous introduction of oxygen and nitrogen heteroatoms across unsaturate ...
Polymer brushes are a specific class of polymer thin films in which each chain is tethered to the underlying substrate via one chain end. In sufficiently densely grafted assemblies, the individual polymer chains are forced into an extended chain conformati ...
The selective palladium-catalyzed carboamination of allylic alcohols is reported on the basis of the use of an easily introduced trifluoroacetaldehyde-derived tether. Aminoalkynylation reactions were realized using alkynyl bromides and commercially availab ...
This paper analyzes the maximum power that a kite, or system of kites, can extract from the wind. Firstly, a number of existing results on kite system efficiency are reviewed. The results that are generally applicable require significant simplifying assump ...
