The catalytic hydrocarboxylation of linear alkenes to carboxylic acids using supercritical carbon dioxide as a solvent was studied. High selectivities in acids have been obtained. The best results were achieved when adding a perfluorinated surfactant to th ...
New conditions have been found for the desulfitative Mizoroki-Heck arylation and trifluoromethylation of mono- and disubustituted olefins with arenesulfonyl and trifluoromethanesulfonyl chlorides. Thus (E)1,2-disubstituted alkenes with high stereoselectivi ...
In the first part, we described the synthesis of C-(1'→1) and C-(1'→4) disaccharide precursors, which are readily obtained via the carbonylative Stille coupling of glucal and isolevoglucosenone derivatives. Tin glycals and triflates, derived from isolevogl ...
The cationic ruthenium half-sandwich complex [CpRu(PPh3)(2)(CH3CN)][OTf] (2) (CP = eta(5)-C5Me5, OTf = SO3CF3) was synthesized by reduction of Cp*RuCl2 with zinc in the presence of NaOTf and subsequent reaction with PPh3. When NaOTf was omitted, the ...
T-BuP(NH2)2 reacts with base-stabilized group 13 tri-hydrides with adduct formation (THF-BH3), with redn. to give t-BuPH2 (Me3N-AlH3) and with elimination of H22 and formation of a metallonitridophosphinate (Me3N-GaH3). In contrast, the reaction with Cp*Ti ...
