The cage compound [DippP5 Cl][GaCl4 ] (Dipp=2,6-diisopropylphenyl) reacts with an NHC (N-heterocyclic carbene) by an unprecedented [3+2] fragmentation of the P5 (+) core. This yields an imidazoliumyl-substituted P3 species featuring a triphosphaallyl anion motif and a neutral P2 compound. The mechanism of the fragmentation reaction was elucidated by means of experimental and quantum chemical methods.
Bifunctional mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) bearing Pd-complexes and additional basic sites were prepared and tested as cooperative active catalysts in the Tsuji-Trost allylation of ethyl acetoacetate. Functionalization of the MSNs was realized by postmodification using click-chemistry. The selectivity of mono versus double allylation was achieved by control of reaction temperature and the nature of the catalyst.

Bifunctional mesoporous silica was prepared by co-condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) with functionalized organosilanes containing azides or alkoxyamines. Orthogonal functional groups at the particles were selectively addressed in subsequent chemical modifications through "click"-chemistry ("click to ligand" strategy) and radical nitroxide exchange. Palladation with PdCl delivered Pd nanoparticle-loaded silica material bearing sulfoxides and additional aminoamides as stabilizing ligands by means of in situ reduction of the Pd -salt. These functional particles were successfully applied to the hydrogenation of alkynes and alkenes. Aldehyde hydrodeoxygenation and benzyl ether cleavage were achieved with these hybrid catalysts under mild conditions. Particles were analyzed by IR, TEM/STEM, EDX, and solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
Dedicated to Professor Peter Kündig on the occasion of his 75th birthday. 1,2,4,5-Tetrakis(trimethylsilylethynyl)benzene reacted with two molar equivalents of the boranes RÀ B(C 6 F 5 ) 2 (R = C 6 F 5 , Me, Ph) in a series of sequential 1,1-carboboration reactions to give ca. 1 : 1 mixtures of the two-fold benzannulated products, namely the respective C 2h and C 2v symmetric tetra-silyl, bis-boryl substituted anthracenes. Their active B(C 6 F 5 ) 2 substituents were used for consecutive Suzuki-Miyaura CÀ C coupling reactions to give boron-free phenyl or 2-pyridyl substituted anthracene products.
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.
