The reaction of triisopropyl phosphite with phosphine-based indenylidene pre-catalysts affords "1(st) generation" cis-complexes. These have been used in olefin metathesis reactions. The cis-Ru species exhibit noticeable differences with the trans-Ru parent complexes in terms of structure, thermal stability and reactivity. Experimental data underline the importance of synergistic effects between...

We have described the first successful application of non-N-donor heterodonor ligands--thioether-phosphite ligands--in the Ir-catalyzed hydrogenation of minimally functionalized olefins. Excellent enantioselectivities (ee's up to 99%) have been obtained for a range of substrates, including challenging terminal disubstituted substrates, under standard conditions.

Pd-catalyzed asymmetric allylic substitution (AAS) is a highly effective method for producing chiral molecules with alkene-substituted frameworks which can be further derivatized. However, its stereochemical outcome affected by the steric requirements of substrate and only narrow set nucleophiles yield excellent enantioselectivities. In this regard, phosphite-oxazolines have emerged as strong c...

The title compound, C(20)H(22)Cl(2)N(3)O(4)PS, was synthesized by the reaction of N-(4-methoxy-benzyl-idene)-5-(2,4-dichloro-phenyl)-1,3,4-thia-diazol-2-amine and diethyl phosphite. In the crystal, inter-molecular C-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules.

Reaction of Li/Cl phosphinidenoid pentacarbonyltungsten(0) complexes 2a,b (R = CH(SiMe3)2, Cp*) with bifunctional phosphite-substituted ketone 3 yielded tungsten complexes 4a,b having a novel mixed-valence polycyclic P,C-cage ligand with a P–P bond. DFT calculations provide insight into an unusual product formation pathway.

The reaction between benzyl amines, triethyl orthoformate, and diethyl phosphite affords either bisphosphonic (compound 1) or N-benzylaminobenzylphosphonic (compound 2) acid depending on the reaction conditions. The final output of the reaction can be manipulated by the choice of reaction conditions, particularly the molar ratio of substrates.

A palladium-catalyzed reaction of 2-iodoarylcarbodiimide, isocyanide, and phosphite leads to 4-imino-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2-ylphosphonates in moderate to good yields. Three bonds are formed in a one pot procedure and the tandem process includes nucleophilic attack, isocyanide insertion, and C-N coupling.

The small-molecule crystallographic community has recently begun to assess the radiation damage impact of high intensity beams on samples. Bogdanov et al. [Acta Cryst. (2021), B77, 365–370] investigate molecular ferroelectric crystal glycinium phosphite.

fecl3.6h2o was used as an efficient catalyst for the synthesis of highly functionalized piperidines via a one-pot five-component reaction of aromatic amines, aromatic aldehydes and β-keto esters in etoh at room temperature. the remarkable advantages offered by this method are good yields, simple procedure, short reaction times, no need to column chromatography and easy work-up. the structures o...
