Metal-organic frameworks as kinetic modulators for branched selectivity in hydroformylation
Berend Smit, Gerald Bauer, Daniele Ongari, Davide Tiana, Mohamed Tarik
Finding heterogeneous catalysts that are superior to homogeneous ones for selective catalytic transformations is a major challenge in catalysis. Here, we show how micropores in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) push homogeneous catalytic reactions into kinet ...
2020Metal-Organic Frameworks Invert Molecular Reactivity: Lewis Acidic Phosphonium Zwitterions Catalyze the Aldol-Tishchenko Reaction
Berend Smit, Gerald Bauer, Daniele Ongari, Davide Tiana, Xiangru Xu
The influence of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as additives is herein described for the reaction of n-alkyl aldehydes in the presence of methylvinylketone and triphenylphosphine. In the absence of a MOF, the expected Morita-Baylis-Hillman product, a beta ...
American Chemical Society2017Recent developments of iron pincer complexes for catalytic applications
Iron catalysis is attractive for organic synthesis because iron is inexpensive, abundant, and non-toxic. To control the activity and stability of an iron center, a large number of iron pincer complexes have been synthesized. Many such complexes exhibit exc ...
Chinese Chemical Soc2016A Novel Nickel Pincer Complex in the Active Site of Lactate Racemase
A recent study revealed the structure of the Ni-containing active site of lactate racemase. The Ni is coordinated by a SCS pincer ligand derived from a nicotinic acid mononucleotide. ...
Wiley-Blackwell2016Catalytic Applications and Mechanistic Investigations of Iron Bis(oxazolinylphenyl)amino Pincer Complexes in Kumada Cross Coupling and Hydrosilylation Reactions
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 ...
EPFL2015Iron Pincer Complexes as Catalysts and Intermediates in Alkyl Aryl Kumada Coupling Reactions
Rosario Scopelliti, Xile Hu, Matthew Wodrich, Gerald Bauer
Iron-catalyzed alkylaryl Kumada coupling has developed into an efficient synthetic method, yet its mechanism remains vague. Here, we apply a bis(oxazolinylphenyl)amido pincer ligand (Bopa) to stabilize the catalytically active Fe center, resulting in isola ...
American Chemical Society2015Cross-Coupling of Nonactivated Primary and Secondary Alkyl Halides with Aryl Grignard Reagents Catalyzed by Chiral Iron Pincer Complexes
Xile Hu, Gerald Bauer, Chi Wai Cheung
Iron(III) bisoxazolinylphenylamido (bopa) pincer complexes are efficient precatalysts for the cross-coupling of nonactivated primary and secondary alkyl halides with phenyl Grignard reagents. The reactions proceed at room temperature in moderate to excelle ...
Georg Thieme Verlag2015Solid-state proton NMR of paramagnetic metal complexes: DANTE spin echoes for selective excitation in inhomogeneously broadened lines
Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Gerald Bauer, Diego Carnevale, Angel Joaquin Perez Linde
The paramagnetic complex bis(oxazolinylphenyl)amine-Fe(III)Cl-2 is investigated by means of solid-state proton NMR at 18.8 T (800 MHz) using magic-angle spinning at 65 kHz. Spin echoes that are excited and refocused by combs of rotor-synchronized pulses in ...
