Diamine Synthesis via the Nitrogen-Directed Azidation of sigma- and pi-C-C Bonds

Jérôme Waser, Mingming Wang

Diamines are essential building blocks for the synthesis of agrochemicals, drugs, and organic materials, yet their synthesis remains challenging, as both nitrogens need to be differentiated and diverse substitution patterns (1,2, 1,3, or 1,4) are required. ...

Alkynyl Triazenes as Fluoroalkyne Surrogates: Regioselective Access to 4-Fluoro-2-pyridones by a Rh(III)-Catalyzed C–H Activation–Lossen Rearrangement–Wallach Reaction

Kay Severin, Nicolai Cramer, Carl Thomas Bormann, Jin Fay Tan

Fluorinated pyridones are an important scaffold displaying relevant biological activities. Efficient assembly strategies of pyridones are transition metal-catalyzed C–H annulations with alkynes. The inaccessibility and extreme lability of fluoro alkynes re ...

Insertion of germanium atoms in high- nuclearity rhodium carbonyl compounds: synthesis, characterization and preliminary biological activity of the heterometallic [ Rh13Ge( CO) 25] 3-, [ Rh14Ge2( CO) 30] 2-and [ Rh12Ge( CO) 27] 4-clusters+

Paul Joseph Dyson

The reaction of the Rh-7(CO)(16) cluster anion with Ge2+ salts, in different stoichiometric ratios and under different atmospheres, leads to the formation of new heterometallic Rh-Ge clusters, representing the first known examples of Rh carbonyl comp ...

Organocatalytic Enantioselective Acyloin Rearrangement of α-Hydroxy Acetals to α-Alkoxy Ketones

Jieping Zhu, Qian Wang, Hua Wu

We report an unprecedented organocatalytic enantioselective acyloin rearrangement of alpha,alpha-disubstituted alpha-hydroxy acetals. In the presence of a catalytic amount of chiral binol-derived N-triflyl phosphoramide, alpha-hydroxy acetals rearranged to ...

Morphology stabilization strategies for small-molecule bulk heterojunction photovoltaics

Kevin Sivula, Liang Yao, Xavier Adrian Jeanbourquin, Muhammad Aiman Bin Rahmanudin Hamdan, Arvindh Sekar, Emilie Aude Marie Ripaud

The greater crystallinity of solution-processed small-molecule organic semiconductors, compared to their polymer counterparts, renders the bulk heterojunction (BHJ) more susceptible to phase separation under thermal stress, decreasing device performance. H ...

Zinc Bromide Promoted Coupling of Isonitriles with Carboxylic Acids To Form 2,4,5-Trisubstituted Oxazoles

Jieping Zhu, Qian Wang, Shuo Tong

Deviant behavior: In a deviation from “normal” reactivity, isocyanides underwent co-trimerization with carboxylic acids in the presence of ZnBr2 to smoothly provide oxazoles (see scheme). The reaction is thought to occur by initial nucleophilic addition of ...

Amide Formation in One Pot from Carboxylic Acids and Amines via Carboxyl and Sulfinyl Mixed Anhydrides

Pierre Vogel, Dean Markovic

An efficient method has been developed for the preparation of yet unknown acyclic mixed anhydrides of carboxylic and sulfinic acids. Sterically hindered 2-methylbut-3-ene-2-sulfinyl carboxylates add primary and secondary amines preferentially onto the carb ...

Conformation-Specific Spectroscopy of Peptide Fragment Ions in a low-Temperature Ion Trap

Thomas Rizzo, Oleg Boyarkine

We have applied conformer-selective IR-UV double-resonance photofragment spectroscopy at low temperatures in an ion trap mass spectrometer for the spectroscopic characterization of peptide fragment ions. We investigate b- and a-type ions formed by collisio ...

Functional, Hyperbranched Polyesters Via Baylis-Hillman Polymerization

Harm-Anton Klok, Frederik Roman Wurm, Sanhao Ji

Hyperbranched polyesters are among the most common hyperbranched polymers. One of the interesting features of hyperbranched polyesters is that they contain unreacted hydroxyl and carboxylic acid groups at the linear and terminal structural units, which can ...
