Alkynylation of radicals: spotlight on the "Third Way" to transfer triple bonds

The alkynylation of radical intermediates has been known since a long time, but had not been broadly applied in synthetic chemistry, in contrast to the alkynylation of either electrophiles or nucleophiles. In the last decade however, it has been intensivel ...

Palladium-Catalyzed Carboxy-Alkynylation of Propargylic Amines Using Carbonate Salts as Carbon Dioxide Source

Jérôme Waser, Phillip Gulliver Dominic Greenwood

A palladium-catalyzed multicomponent reaction of propargylic amines, alkynyl bromides and cesium hydrogen carbonate to access oxazolidinones is reported. In contrast to previous reports, only a slight excess of cesium hydrogen carbonate is used as a surrog ...

Photoredox-Catalyzed Decarboxylation for the Transfer of Alkynes and Nitriles Using Hypervalent Iodine Reagents

Franck Le Vaillant

Aliphatic alkynes and nitriles are privileged motifs in organic chemistry. Therefore, alkynes and nitriles have played a central role for the exploration and development of novel strategies to forge C-C bonds in efficient manner. They are broadly used as v ...

Metal-Free Electrophilic Alkynylation of Sulfenate Anions with Ethynylbenziodoxolone Reagents

Jérôme Waser, Stefano Nicolai, Franck Le Vaillant, Alec Gagnebin, Stephanie Grace Elizabeth Amos

Alkynyl sulfoxides are important building blocks with a unique reactivity in organic chemistry, but only a few reliable methods have been reported to synthesize them. A novel route to access alkynyl sulfoxides is reported herein by using ethynyl benziodoxo ...

Nickamine and Analogous Nickel Pincer Catalysts for Cross-Coupling of Alkyl Halides and Hydrosilylation of Alkenes

Xile Hu, Renyi Shi, Zhikun Zhang

CONSPECTUS: Ligand development plays an essential role in the advance of homogeneous catalysis. Tridentate, meridionally coordinating ligands, commonly termed pincer ligands, have been established as a privileged class of ligands in catalysis because they ...

Organocatalysts in C-N Bond Forming Reactions of Amines with CO2

Martin Hulla

The thesis describes a simple approach for N-formylation of amines with CO2 and hydrosilane reducing agents, the use of organic salts as N-formylation catalysts, their physical properties required for high catalytic activity and their role in the catalytic ...

Selective adsorption of carbon dioxide by a metal-organic framework

Berend Smit, Kyriakos Stylianou, Peter George Boyd, Arunraj Chidambaram

The present invention relates to the removal of carbon dioxide from gases. More particularly, the invention relates to the use of metal-organic frameworks for a selective adsorption of carbon dioxide from a gas. Further, the invention relates to a method f ...

Mechanistic implications of lanthanum-modification on gold-catalyzed formic acid decomposition under SCR-relevant conditions

Oliver Kröcher, Davide Ferri

The use of formate-based ammonia precursors as alternatives to urea in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) process requires that formic acid released upon their thermolysis in the hot exhaust is rapidly decomposed to carbon dioxide. This work aims at t ...

Bimetallic Electrocatalysts for Carbon Dioxide Reduction

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Dan Ren, Jing Gao

Electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide, using the electricity generated from renewable energy sources, has the potential of rendering a carbon-neutral energy economy. Developing selective, efficient and robust electrocatalysts is the key step towards ...

Unexpected large evasion fluxes of carbon dioxide from turbulent streams draining the world’s mountains

Enrico Bertuzzo, Tom Ian Battin, Amber Joy Ulseth, Pier Luigi Segatto, Asa Lovisa Viktoria Horgby

Inland waters, including streams and rivers, are active components of the global carbon cycle.Despite the large areal extent of the world’s mountains, the role of mountain streams forglobal carbonfluxes remains elusive. Using recent insights from gas excha ...
