Physicochemical study on leuco triarylmethane dyes; Unusual carbon-carbon bond cleavage involving an elimination of dimethylaniline.

Carbon-carbon bond cleavage in activation of the prodrug nabumetone.

Carbon-carbon bond cleavage reactions are catalyzed by, among others, lanosterol 14-demethylase (CYP51), cholesterol side-chain cleavage enzyme (CYP11), sterol 17β-lyase (CYP17), and aromatase (CYP19). Because of the high substrate specificities of these enzymes and the complex nature of their substrates, these reactions have been difficult to characterize. A CYP1A2-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond...

Exceptionally Fast Carbon-Carbon Bond Reductive Elimination from Gold(III)

Reductive elimination of carbon-carbon bonds occurs in numerous metal-catalysed reactions. This process is well documented for a variety of transition metal complexes. However, carbon-carbon bond reductive elimination from a limited number of Au(III) complexes has been shown to be a slow and prohibitive process that generally requires elevated temperatures. Herein we show that oxidation of a se...

Carbon-silicon and carbon-carbon bond formation by elimination reactions at metal N-heterocyclic carbene complexes.

Two functional groups can be delivered at once to organo-rare earth complexes, (L)MR(2) and (L)(2)MR (M = Sc, Y; L = ({1-C(NDippCH(2)CH(2)N)}CH(2)CMe(2)O), Dipp = 2,6-(i)Pr(2)-C(6)H(3); R = CH(2)SiMe(3), CH(2)CMe(3)), via the addition of E-X across the metal-carbene bond to form a zwitterionic imidazolinium-metal complex, (L(E))MR(2)X, where L(E) = {1-EC(NDippCH(2)CH(2)N)}CH(2)CMe(2)O, E is a p...

Ruthenium-catalyzed carbon-carbon bond formation via the cleavage of an unreactive aryl carbon-nitrogen bond in aniline derivatives with organoboronates.

Asymmetric [3+ 2] cycloaddition of donor–acceptor aziridines with aldehydes via carbon–carbon bond cleavage

An enantioselective [3 + 2] annulation of donor–acceptor aziridines with aldehydes has been realized using a Nd(OTf)3/N,N0-dioxide/LiNTf2 catalyst system, providing various chiral cis-1,3-oxazolidines inmoderate to good yields with high levels of stereocontrol. A relay catalytic process is proposed where LiNTf2 promotes the formation of azomethine ylide intermediates, and a chiral Nd(III)–N,N0-...
