Silver-catalyzed direct benzylation of acetanilide: a highly efficient approach to unsymmetrical triarylmethanes

Direct Pd-catalyzed benzylation of highly electron-deficient perfluoroarenes.

An efficient and practical method to a wide range of perfluorinated unsymmetrical diarylmethanes with good to excellent yields and high regioselectivities has been developed by Pd-catalyzed direct benzylation of highly electron-deficient perfluoroarenes; excellent compatibility of functional groups has also been established.

Efficient silver-catalyzed direct sulfenylation and selenylation of rich arenes.

An efficient protocol for silver/copper-cocatalyzed direct sulfenylation and selenylation of arenes with aryl disulfides and diselenides has been developed. This strategy exhibits excellent functional group tolerance and high regioselectivity. Mono sulfenylation and selenylation products can be exclusively achieved. This reaction provides a simple and practical route to the preparation of aryl ...

from linguistics to literature: a linguistic approach to the study of linguistic deviations in the turkish divan of shahriar

chapter i provides an overview of structural linguistics and touches upon the saussurean dichotomies with the final goal of exploring their relevance to the stylistic studies of literature. to provide evidence for the singificance of the study, chapter ii deals with the controversial issue of linguistics and literature, and presents opposing views which, at the same time, have been central to t...

Silver-catalyzed nitrogenation of alkynes: a direct approach to nitriles through C≡C bond cleavage.

Palladium-catalyzed benzylation of heterocyclic aromatic compounds.

Broadly applicable palladium-catalyzed heteroarene benzylation reactions are described with a focus on the most challenging heterocyclic classes under traditional benzylation techniques such as sulfur-containing heterocycles and those bearing functional groups that would be incompatible with reactions requiring Lewis acids and/or strong bases.
