We report a catalytic skeletal rearrangement of biphenylenes with a pendant alkyne moiety at room temperature by a cationic gold catalyst, which involves the cleavage of two bonds: the C-C...
A Pt(ii)-chiral diene complex demonstrates a high catalytic activity in the enantioselective formal [4 + 2] cycloaddition along with C–C bond cleavage of biphenylene at room temp. DFT calculations elucidated that the present catalysis involves a rare Pt(ii)/Pt(iv) cycle.
We designed and synthesized a new series of NHCs with a sulfoxide moiety as a hemilabile ligand. We investigated the catalytic activities of Au(I)-NHC complexes in the strong oxidant-free cross-coupling of iodoarenes with 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene. We ascertained that the sulfoxide moiety is critical for the Au(I)/(III) catalytic cycle.
A method for the synthesis of dihydrodibenzo[c,e]azocine derivatives via a regioselective intramolecular aminoiodination of alkynes under visible light irradiation has been developed. This protocol uses a combination of iodine and hypervalent iodine to realize a sulfonamidyl radical, followed by intramolecular addition to alkyne to form a vinyl radical. Subsequent trapping of iodine radical affords an 8‐membered heterocycle. Applications of the obtained iodinated 8‐membered heterocycles in the Suzuki‐Miyaura coupling and deiodination are also demonstrated.
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.
