Hindered organoboron groups in organic chemistry. 24. The condensation of aliphatic aldehydes with dimesitylboron stabilised carbanions to give ketones

The condensation of boron stabilised carbanions, MeS2BCHLiR1, (R1≠H) with aliphatic aldehydes, R2CHO, followed by treatment with trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA) or N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) is an unique, broadly applicable redox process that yields ketones, R1CH2COR2, directly and in high yields. The anion MeS2BCH2Li (MeS2BCHLiR1, R1=H) gives high yields of alkenes, R2CH=CH2 in the same conditions.

Benchmarked Intrinsic Olefin Metathesis Activity: Mo vs. W

Combining Surface Organometallic Chemistry with rigorous olefin purification protocol allows evaluating and comparing the intrinsic activities of Mo and W olefin metathesis catalysts towards different types of olefin substrates. While well-defined silica-supported Mo and W imido-alkylidenes show very similar activities in metathesis of internal olefins, Mo catalysts systematically outperform their W analogs in metathesis of terminal olefins, consistent with the formation of stable unsubstituted W metallacyclobutanes in the presence of ethylene. However, Mo catalysts are more prone to induce olefin isomerization, in particular when ethylene is present, probably because of their propensity to undergo more easily reduction processes.
