Catalytic Asymmetric Reduction of Allylic Esters with Formic Acid Catalyzed by Palladium-MOP Complexes

Syntheses and characterizations of methylpalladium complexes bearing a biphenyl-based bulky phosphine ligand: Weak interactions suggested by NBO and QTAIM analyses

“…1) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. On the other hand, Hayashi reported binaphthyl-based monodentate phosphine ligands (MOP (6) [18][19][20][21][22][23] to achieve highly efficient asymmetric hydrosilylation and allylic substitution reactions. Vyskočyl, Kočovskŷ, Ding, and Mikami also reported a derivatization of MOP to MAP (7) and its application to the asymmetric allylic substitution [25,26].…”

“…Extensive studies about these catalyst systems were reported to disclose the origin of unique properties of the biphenyl-or binaphthyl-based ligands. These studies include the isolation of Pd(0) complexes as intermediates for the cross-coupling reaction and the isolation of allylpalladium(II) complexes as intermediates for the allylic substitution reaction [7,13,17,20,21,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. Some of them showed the specific coordination mode of the biphenyl-based ligands, i.e., g 1 - [13,[27][28][29]32] or g 2 -coordination [7,27,30,31] of arene ring to the central palladium atom.…”

Enantioselective Iridium‐Catalyzed Allylic Arylation

“…[36] We then decided to apply our methodology to the total synthesis of a known intermediate in the preparation of (+ )-sertraline, a serotonin uptake inhibitor used in the treatment of depression (Scheme 4). [18,37] Compound 2 g was Table 5.…”

Theoretical Hypothesis of a Double Barrier Regarding the D-D Interaction in a Pd Lattice: A Possible Explanation of Cold Fusion Experiment Failures

“…It has been studied that within the coherence theory of condensed matter, the cold fusion [1][2][3][4] phenomena was verified.…”

“…In fact, when the palladium lattice is loaded with deuterium gas, some physicists declared that it is possible to observe traces of nuclear reactions [1][2][3]. For this reason, many of these physicists speak about LERN (low energy nuclear reaction).…”
