Complexes [Pd{(S)-NHCMes,R}2] (R = Me, 2a; iPr, 2b; iBu, 2c) and [Pd{(R)-NHCMes,Me}2] (2a’) were prepared by reaction of the corresponding imidazolium precursor [ImMes,R] (namely (S)–2-alkyl(3-mesityl-1H-imidazol-3-ium-1-yl)acetate, 1a-c, (R)-2-methyl(3-mesityl-1H-imidazol-3-ium-1-yl)acetate, 1a’), with Ag2O subsequent interaction Pd(OAc)2, under appropriate conditions. Alternatively, complexes...

Introduction Polythiophenes (PTs) continue to be one of the most versatile and extensively studied conjugated polymer systems due to their exceptional spectroscopic and electronic properties, and the ease of synthesis of PTs derivatives. Practical and potential applications of PT derivatives include rechargeable battery, electrochromic devices (ECDs) (e.g., poly(alkylenedioxythiophene) [PXDOT])...

The introduction of a methyl group and its 13C 2H labeled analogs on Csp2-centers remains challenging issue in synthetic chemistry. While the photoredox/Ni dual catalysis has proven to constitute valuable methodology for forging Csp2?Csp3 bonds, high difficulty generate radical control reactivity severely limited development reliable processes. Herein, we introduce easily prepared bench-stable ...
