Abstract This minireview summarizes synthetic approaches towards homoleptic dirhodium(II,II) paddlewheel complexes with the general formula Rh 2 A 4 . These have found numerous applications in a wide range of chemical research and industry as catalysts, detectors, enzymatic inhibitors or building blocks for molecular scaffolds. In organic synthesis they are commonly used to transfer electron‐deficient species, act Lewis acids activate unsaturated bonds, serve hydrogenation catalysts...
Achiral, diamagnetic Ni(II) complexes 1 and 3 have been synthesized from salts the Schiff bases, generated glycine PBP (7) PBA (11), respectively, in MeONa/MeOH solutions. The requisite carbonyl-derivatizing agents pyridine-2-carboxylic acid(2-benzoyl-phenyl)-amide 7 (PBP) acid(2-formyl-phenyl)-amide 11 (PBA) were readily prepared picolinic acid o-aminobenzophenone or methyl o-anthranilate, respectively. structure of was established by X-ray crystallography. Complexes found to undergo...
We present a new class of catalysts based on the combination N,N'-diaryl(thio)ureas and weak silicon Lewis acids (e.g., SiCl(4)). Such silicon-(thio)urea effectively catalyze stereospecific rearrangement epoxides to quaternary carbaldehydes.
We present a method for the amination of enolizable and non-enolizable ketones in alpha (or beta) position to carbonyl group. This approach is based on conversion corresponding cyanohydrins carbonazidates, precursors thermal intramolecular nitrene insertion reactions into adjacent C-H bond. Hydrolysis resulting carbamates under basic conditions with simultaneous regeneration group yields amino ketones.
Abstract The [2+2+2] cyclotrimerization of 1,7,9,15‐hexadecatetrayne with nitriles catalyzed by dicarbonylcyclopentadienylcobalt(I) opened a new pathway for the synthesis C 2 ‐symmetrical bis(tetrahydroisoquinolines) that were used as starting material preparation axially chiral bipyridine N , N′ ‐dioxides. ‐dioxides (1 mol%) found to be highly catalytically active and enantioselective (up 83% ee ) asymmetric allylation aldehydes allyl(trichloro)silane in various solvents. In addition,...

The product enantioselective benzaldehyde served as a building block for preparation an intermediate useful synthesis diospongines.
Inspired by the extraordinary selectivities of acylases, we envisioned use lipophilic oligopeptidic organocatalysts for acylative kinetic resolution/desymmetrization rac- and meso-cycloalkane-1,2-diols.

Competition experiments with various alcohols electrophiles show potential employed oligopeptides. Additionally, utilized NMR IR-spectroscopic methods as well...

New solid state hydrazone fluorescent reactive disperse dyes based on pyrrolinone ester and temporarily anionic sulfatoethylsulfone moiety were prepared. The NMR of all prepared was studied in details; these observed only pure form as a mixture between E/Z isomers.

Abstract We present a new approach to disubstituted diamondoids from corresponding carboxylic acids. A dirhodium‐acetate‐catalyzed (1 mol‐%) nitrene insertion reaction of sulfamides was, for the first time, applied intramolecular C–H functionalization reactions rigid tricyclic frameworks. This straightforward enables effective and regioselective synthesis variety diamondoid‐based cyclic sulfamidates, which are synthetically valuable building blocks. Reductive deprotection sulfamidate moiety...
