Chiral Alkyl Amine Synthesis via Catalytic Enantioselective Hydroalkylation of Enecarbamates

Xile Hu, Srikrishna Bera, Deyun Qian

Chiral alkyl amines are omnipresent as bioactive molecules and synthetic intermediates. The catalytic and enantioselective synthesis of alkyl amines from readily accessible precursors is challenging. Here we develop a nickel-catalyzed hydroalkylation metho ...

1,3,2‐Diazaphospholenes Catalyze the Conjugate Reduction of Substituted Acrylic Acids

Nicolai Cramer, John Henry Reed

The potent nucleophilicity and remarkably low basicity of 1,3,2- diazaphospholenes (DAPs) is exploited in a catalytic, metal-free 1,4-reduction of free ,-unsaturated carboxylic acids. Notably, the reduction occurs without a prior deprotonation of the car ...

Z-Selective Synthesis of Vinyl Boronates through Fe-Catalyzed Alkyl Radical Addition

Xile Hu, Alexis Baptiste Cheseaux, Guido Barzanò

Z-Selective synthesis of vinyl boronates is challenging. This work describes Fe-catalyzed addition of alkyl radicals, formed by the corresponding alkyl halides, to ethynyl ethynylboronic acid pinacol ester that gives rise to Z-vinyl boronates in high stere ...

Catalyst design for the transformation of CO2 into value-added products

Felix Daniel Bobbink

The mass-utilization of fossil resources has led to a dramatic increase in carbon dioxide (CO2) production, most of which is released directly into the Earth's atmosphere, resulting in global warming. Efforts to contain CO2 emissions and to capture, store ...

Stereoselective synthesis of alkenes via base-metal-catalyzed addition reactions to alkynes and activation of hydrogen peroxide and carbon dioxide by iron complexes

Fedor Zhurkin

Alkene functionality can be found in the majority of natural products, drugs, catalysts and organic materials. Therefore, methods of C-C double bond formation constitute a cornerstone of organic synthesis. Selective formation of either (Z)- or (E)-isomer i ...

Synthesis of cyclic carbonates from diols and CO2 catalyzed by carbenes

Paul Joseph Dyson, Felix Daniel Bobbink, Martin Hulla, Shoubhik Das, Weronika Gruszka

The synthesis of cyclic carbonates from epoxides and CO2 is a well-established reaction, whereas the synthesis of cyclic carbonates from diols and CO2 is considerably more challenging, and few efficient catalysts are available. Here, we describe heterocycl ...

Nickel-Catalyzed Direct Alkylation of Terminal Alkynes at Room Temperature: A Hemilabile Pincer Ligand Enhances Catalytic Activity

Rosario Scopelliti, Xile Hu, Peng Ren, Pablo Marcelo Perez Garcia

Direct coupling of alkyl halides with terminal alkynes provides an efficient and streamlined access to alkyl-substituted alkynes, which are important synthetic intermediates, biologically active molecules, and organic materials. However, until now,there ha ...

Catalytic Applications and Mechanistic Investigations of Iron Bis(oxazolinylphenyl)amino Pincer Complexes in Kumada Cross Coupling and Hydrosilylation Reactions

Gerald Bauer

The aim of the project was to investigate iron bis(oxazolinylphenyl)amino (bopa) pincer complexes as pre-catalysts in the enantioselective Kumada cross-coupling of non-activated alkyl halides with aryl Grignard reagents. From this preliminary cross-couplin ...
