Organic synthesis using organoaluminum reagents.

Chapter 1 Organoaluminum Reagents for Selective Organic Transformation

Solid-supported reagents in organic synthesis.

The current interest in solid-phase organic synthesis has led to a renewed interest in a complementary technique in which solid supported reagents are used in solution phase chemistry. This technique obviates the need for attachment of the substrate to a solid-support, and enables the chemist to monitor the reactions using familiar analytical techniques. The purpose of this review is to increas...

Organoiodine(V) reagents in organic synthesis.

Organohypervalent iodine reagents have attracted significant recent interest as versatile and environmentally benign oxidants with numerous applications in organic synthesis. This Perspective summarizes synthetic applications of hypervalent iodine(V) reagents: 2-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX), Dess-Martin periodinane (DMP), pseudocyclic iodylarenes, and their recyclable polymer-supported analogues. R...

Bismuth(V) reagents in organic synthesis

The concept that the valency change from BiV to Bi could be harnessed to produce a family of selective oxidants as shown to be correct. However, completely unexpected was the efficiency of Bi reagents in carrying out arylations on oxygen, carbon and nitrogen. The new arylation procedures permit the synthesis under very mild conditions of compounds only available otherwise by indirect routes. In...

Polyborylated reagents for modern organic synthesis

Diverse kinds of gem- and vic-diborylated compounds are now readily available thanks to advances in gem-diborylation of lithium carbenoids as well as vic-diborylation of carbon-carbon multiple bonds with diboron compounds. These diborylated reagents lead to invention of polyborylated reagents and many novel and useful synthetic methods for supreme stereocontrol. This review summarizes preparati...
