Bond Forming Reactions Involving Isocyanides at Diiron Complexes

) Bond Forming Reactions

___________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Although iron was known and widely used by people for hundreds of years, Grignard reagents also used for about a century, binding together these two concepts still took a long time and surprisingly it did not become a hot topic in chemistry until this decade. This paper is presenting several dev...

Reactions of Diiron μ-Aminocarbyne Complexes Containing Nitrile Ligands

Recent Advances in Organocatalyzed Domino C-C Bond-Forming Reactions.

Reactions that form a C-C bond make up a foundational pillar of synthetic organic chemistry. In addition, organocatalysis has emerged as an easy, environmentally-friendly way to promote this type of bond formation. Since around 2000, organocatalysts have been used in a variety of C-C bond-forming reactions including Michael and aldol additions, Mannich-type reactions, and Diels-Alder reactions,...

Carbon-Oxygen Bond Forming Mechanisms in Rhenium Oxo-Alkyl Complexes

Three C-X bond formation mechanisms observed in the oxidation of (HBpz3)ReO(R)(OTf) [HBpz3=hydrotris(1-pyrazolyl)borate; R=Me, Et, and iPr; OTf=OSO2CF3] by dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were investigated using quantummechanics (M06//B3LYPDFT) combined with solvation (using the PBF Poisson-Boltzmann polarizable continuum solvent model). For R=Et we find the alkyl group is activated through R-hydroge...

Exploiting the C-H bond in metal-catalyzed C-C bond-forming reactions

This account summarizes our work in the field of direct C-H bond functionalization. We have explored methods in the area of directing group assisted C(sp 2 )-H and C(sp 3 )-H activation and investigated arylation as well as deuteration reactions. In these transformations either ruthenium or palladium catalysts were applied. In case of C(sp 2 )-H activation, we developed a protocol for the synth...
