[Fe]-hydrogenase has a single iron-containing active site that features an acylmethylpyridinol ligand. This unique ligand environment had yet to be reproduced in synthetic models; however the synthesis and reactivity of a new class of small molecule mimics ...
Palladium two step: Linear anilides were converted into the title compounds in good to excellent yields through a palladium-catalyzed domino carbopalladation/1,4-palladium shift sequence. The C(sp3)-H activation involves a seven-membered palladacycle, and ...
It is demonstrated here that three different alpha-amino N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs), including for the first time O-benzyl-L-threonine NCA, can be polymerized in a controlled/"living" fashion without the need for transition metal catalysts or complex custo ...
The synthesis of the trinuclear cluster cation H3RU3(C6H6)(C6Me6)(2)(O) (1) has been considerably improved by changes in the NaBH4 addition step and by introducing chromatographic methods; in addition, the redox and ligand exchange properties of 1 hav ...
