Structural models of activated gamma-alumina surfaces revisited: Thermodynamics, NMR and IR spectroscopies from ab initio calculations

The activation of highly catalytic gamma-alumina surfaces by thermal treatment and the description of the related chemical processes at atomic scale is a topical issue. According to a recent study [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 134 (2012) 14430], the enhanced reactivi ...

Formal Homo-Nazarov and Other Cyclization Reactions of Activated Cyclopropanes

Jérôme Waser, Fides Benfatti, Tanguy Jean Daniel Saget, Filippo De Simone

The Nazarov cyclization of divinyl ketones gives access to cyclopentenones. Replacing one of the vinyl groups by a cyclopropane leads to a formal homo-Nazarov process for the synthesis of cyclohexenones. In contrast to the Nazarov reaction, the cyclization ...

Direct Alkynylation of Thiophenes: Cooperative Activation of TIPS–EBX with Gold and Brønsted Acids

Jérôme Waser, Jonathan Brand

United we stand! Cooperative activation of the hypervalent-iodine reagent TIPS-EBX with a gold catalyst and a Brønsted acid allowed the first direct ethynylation of thiophenes at room temperature (see scheme; TFA=trifluoroacetic acid). The obtained ethynyl ...

State-resolved reactivity of CH4 on Pt(110)-(1 x 2): The role of surface orientation and impact site

Rainer Beck, Régis Bisson, Marco Sacchi

The reactivity of methane (CH4) on Pt(110)-(1×2) has been studied by quantum state-resolved surface reactivity measurements. Ground state reaction probabilities, S0(v=0) ~ S0(laser-off), as well as state-resolved reaction probabilities S0(2v3), for CH4 exc ...

Separation of the Oxide and Halide Part in the Oxohalide Fe3Te3O10Cl Due to High Lewis Acidity of the Cations

Helmuth Berger, Dong Zhang

A new iron tellurite halide Fe3Te3O10Cl has been identified that crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c. The crystal structure comprises channels where the Cl ions and also the stereochemically active lone-pair electrons on Te4+ are located. Th ...

Catalytic Formal Homo-Nazarov Cyclization

Jérôme Waser, Julien Alexandre Andres, Filippo De Simone

The first catalytic method for the cyclization of vinyl-cyclopropyl ketones (formal homo-Nazarov reaction) is reported. Starting from activated cyclopropanes, heterocyclic and carbocyclic compounds were obtained under mild conditions using Brønsted acid ca ...
