Pyridyltriazole gold(i) complexes proved to be an efficient precatalyst for the most challenging gold-catalyzed borrowing hydrogen reaction and dehydrogenation of alcohols and amines.
Access to nido-carborane site-selective B–N(sp3) coupling by photoredox catalyzed B–H activation has been achieved for the first time, which leads to the synthesis of a series of nitrogen-containing nido-carboranes in...
Enantioenriched phosphorus compounds play crucial roles in many fields ranging from catalyst to materials science to drug development. Despite advances in the construction of phosphacycles, incorporation of a P-chirogenic center into heterocycles remains challenging. Here, we report an effective method for the preparation of phosphacycles through nickel-catalyzed [4+2] heteroannulation of internal alkynes with aminophosphanes derived from

-haloanilines. Notably, chiral 2-λ5-phosphaquinolines can be prepared from P-stereogenic substrates via NH/PH tautomeric equilibrium without loss of stereochemical integrity. The strategy is found to exhibit a broad scope in terms of both reaction components, enabling modular construction of libraries of 2-λ5-phosphaquinolines with different steric and electronic properties for fine-tuning photophysical properties, where some of these compounds showed distinct fluorescence with high quantum yields. A series of mechanistic studies further shed light on the pathway of the heteroannulation and reasons for stereospecificity.
An efficient and simple method to the synthesis of allene derivatives was developed through pyridyltriazole gold(III) catalysed rearrangement of propargyl vinyl ethers with moderate to good yields. It was found that the pyridyltriazole gold(III) complex is a good chemoselective catalyst in selective activation of alkynes and allenes. Compared to gold(I) catalysts, the pyridyltriazole gold(III) shows much better substrate tolerance and much higher air and moisture stability.
A gold nanoparticles-supported hydrotalcite was developed and employed as a stable and efficient catalyst for the oxidation of styrene and hydration of alkynes. Preparation of the catalyst involves a reaction between and hydration reactions, but also excellent reusability in more than five cycles.AuPPh 3 Cl and hydrotalcite under mild conditions. The prepared catalyst exhibited not only outstanding catalytic activity for oxidation [a] W.
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.
