Bicyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (BICAAC) is introduced as a metal- free catalyst for reduction of various nitriles to corresponding amine hydrochloride salts in the presence of pinacolborane. Mechanistic investigations combining experiments and...
A storable bicyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (BICAAC) stabilized two coordinate zinc(0) complex [(BICAAC)2Zn] (2) was synthesized. DFT calculations reveal that BICAAC plays decisive role for imparting the stability of 2. This complex...
Herein, we report the first catalytic methylation of primary amides using CO2 as a C1 source. A bicyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (BICAAC) performs as an efficient catalyst exhibiting a dual role for...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
