- Dilithium Amides as a Modular Bis-Anionic Ligand Platform for Iron-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling
-
Dilithium amides have been developed as a bespoke and general ligand for iron-catalyzed Kumada-Tamao-Corriu cross-coupling reactions, their design taking inspiration from previous mechanistic and structural studies. They allow for the cross-coupling of alkyl Grignard reagents with sp2-hybridized electrophiles as well as aryl Grignard reagents with sp3-hybridized electrophiles. This represents a rare example of a single iron-catalyzed system effective across diverse coupling reactions without significant modification of the catalytic protocol, as well as remaining operationally simple.

- The synergy between the CsPbBr3nanoparticle surface and the organic ligand becomes manifest in a demanding carbon-carbon coupling reaction
-
We demonstrate here the suitability of CsPbBr3nanoparticles as photosensitizers for a demanding photoredox catalytic homo- and cross-coupling of alkyl bromides at room temperature by merely using visible light and an electron donor, thanks to the cooperative action between the nanoparticle surface and organic capping.

- One-Pot Electrochemical Nickel-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Sp2-Sp3 Cross-Coupling
-
A one-pot electrochemical nickel-catalyzed decarboxylative sp2-sp3 cross-coupling reaction has been developed using redox-active esters prepared in situ from alkyl carboxylates and N-hydroxyphthalimide tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (PITU). This undivided cell one-pot method enables C-C bond formation using inexpensive, benchtop-stable reagents with isolated yields up to 95% with good functional group tolerance, which includes nitrile, ketone, ester, alkene and selectivity over other aromatic halogens.

- Efficient phosphine-mediated formal C(sp3)-C(sp3) coupling reactions of alkyl halides in batch and flow
-
The construction of C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond is an essential chemical transformation in synthetic chemistry due to its abundance in organic scaffolds. Here we demonstrate a valuable adaptation of the Wittig-type chemical procedure to efficiently facilitate C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond formation utilizing a range of alkyl building blocks. Additionally the method is amenable with flow synthesis to afford coupled products in good to excellent yields without laborious purification process.

- High Loading of Pd Nanoparticles by Interior Functionalization of MOFs for Heterogeneous Catalysis
-
In this report, the issue related to nanoparticle (NP) agglomeration upon increasing their loading amount into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been addressed by functionalization of MOFs with alkyne groups. The alkynophilicity of the Pd2+ (or other noble metals) ions has been utilized successfully for significant loading of Pd NPs into alkyne functionalized MOFs. It has been shown here that the size and loading amount of Pd NPs are highly dependent on the surface area and pore width of the MOFs. The loading amount of Pd NPs was increased monotonically without altering their size distribution on a particular MOF. Importantly, the distinct role of alkyne groups for Pd2+ stabilization has also been demonstrated by performing a control experiment considering a MOF without an alkyne moiety. The preparation of NPs involved two distinct steps viz. adsorption of metal ions inside MOFs and reduction of metal ions. Both of these steps were monitored by microscopic techniques. This report also demonstrates the applicability of Pd@MOF NPs as extremely efficient heterogeneous catalysts for Heck-coupling and hydrogenation reactions of aryl bromides or iodides and alkenes, respectively.

- Suzuki-miyaura cross-coupling reactions of unactivated alkyl halides catalyzed by a nickel pincer complex
-
A nickel(II) pincer complex, [(MeN2N)Ni-Cl], was used to catalyze alkyl-alkyl and alkyl-aryl Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions of unactivated alkyl halides. The coupling of 9-alkyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane and 9-phenyl-9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane reagents with alkyl halides was achieved in modest to good yields. The reactions tolerated a variety of useful functional groups including ester, ether, furan, thioether, acetal, and Boc groups. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart, New York.

- Synthesis of precursors for large-diameter hemispherical buckybowls and precursors for short carbon nanotubes
-
We report herein the synthesis of six precursor molecules for the rational synthesis of isomerically pure armchair, zigzag, or chiral single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons possess the required carbon connectivity for the generation of extended hemispherical buckybowls with predefined geometry through intramolecular cyclodehydrogenation. The precursors for the short carbon nanotubes and the large-diameter hemispherical buckybowls have potential for the rational initiation of single-chirality SWCNT growth on metal surfaces. The options for the construction of precursors for various SWCNT chiralities based on the suggested synthesis strategy are presented.

- N-NITRENES. II. INVESTIGATION OF THE MECHANISM OF DISSOCIATION OF DIBENZYLAMINONITRENE BY CHEMICALLY INDUCED POLARIZATION OF 1H NUCLEI. THE SPIN STATE OF DIBENZYLAMINONITRENE
-
The mechanism of the dissociation of dibenzylaminonitrene and p-bromodibenzylaminonitrene into molecular nitrogen and hydrocarbon products was studied.Dibenzylaminonitrene forms dibenzyl and o- and p-benzyltoluenes.In the presence of thiophenol significant amounts of toluene are formed.During dissociation p-bromodibenzylaminonitrene gives a mixture of symmetrical and unsymmetrical dibenzyls.In the presence of octanethiol only unsymmetrical p-bromodibenzyl is formed.The dissociation of dibenzylaminonitrene takes place by synchronous cleavage of the two C-N bonds and the formation of a pair of benzyl radicals.Dibenzylaminonitrene dissociates from the singlet electronic state.

- Micellar Systems as ''Supercages'' for Reactions of Geminate Radical Pairs. Magnetic Effects
-
The photochemistry of dibenzyl ketone (DBK) and other molecules capable of producing benzyl radicals and substituted benzyl radicals has been investigated in micellar systems.The cage effect (percent of unscavengeable radical pairs produced by photolysis) was measured under a variety of conditions, and the results are compared with those obtained in homogeneous organic solvents.For example, parameters such as mean occupancy of ketone, detergent type and concentration, O2 concentration, additives, temperature, applied magnetic field, and pressure have been varied and investigated as to their influence on the magnitude of cage effect.In addition to modifying its environment, structural modification of the DBK by incorporation of 2H and 13C isotopes, hydrophobic groups, and heavy atoms was performed to investigate the impact of these variations on the cage effect in micellar systems.Isotopic substitution of 2H or 13C leads to results on both the quantum yields for reactions and on the percent cage that were consistent with expectations of magnetic isotope effects.Hydrophobic groups substituted in the 4-position of DBK were found to cause a substantial increase in the cage effect and yet retain the magnetic-field-dependent character found in the parent DBK.Incorporation of Br in the 4-position of DBK was found to enhance the cage effect but at the same time cause the cage effect to become magnetic field independent.Substitution of α-naphthyl for phenyl in DBK also produced magnetic-field-independent behavior, in addition to a dramatic decrease in the efficiency of photolysis.
