Coinage Metal Catalyzed C−H Bond Functionalization of Hydrocarbons

Catalytic cross-coupling of diazo compounds with coinage metal-based catalysts: an experimental and theoretical study

“…[7][8][9] The catalytic coupling of two carbene groups was observed as a side reaction, and this process could be avoided by slow addition of EDA. The aforementioned work by Davies and co-workers 6 guided us to explore the catalytic potential of these compounds toward the coupling of two different diazo compounds with the aim of inducing the synthesis of the olefin derived from the crosscoupling of both carbenes.…”

High temperature bromination Part XXIII: Bromination of octahydro-1H-indene and octahydro-1H-4,7-methanoindene

“…The nine-line 13 C-NMR spectrum of 15 also indicates the presence of an asymmetrical structure. The location of bromine atoms on the carbon skeletons was determined by COSYspectrum.…”

“…2,3 Thus, a new chemical process for selective functionalization of alkanes to upgraded products is one of the most promising methods for future organic synthesis. In spite of decades of efforts by a plethora of research groups, only a small number of chemical systems have been described for the transformation of such substrates by metallic [4][5][6][7][8][9] and nonmetallic catalysts, [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] aerobic oxidation, 17 and photochemical oxidation. 18 Moreover, studies about the functionalization of rigid and strained bicyclic and tricyclic saturated hydrocarbons are rare in the literature.…”

Enantioselective C–H carbene insertions with homogeneous and immobilized copper complexes

“…3 Coinage metals (copper, silver, and gold) are emerging as alternatives to rhodium, 4 although mostly for non-enantioselective reactions 25 using non-chiral trispyrazolylborate and analogous ligands. 5 The use of these metals in enantioselective carbene insertions is rather scarce and poor results are commonly reported.…”
