Earth-Abundant 3d Transition Metal-Catalyzed Enantioselective C–H Functionalization

Abstract. Transition metal-catalyzed enantioselective C–H functionalization has emerged as a next-generation synthetic paradigm, offering numerous opportun

Shelf-Stable Bis(perfluoroaryl)nickel(II) Complexes for Organometallic Synthesis and Catalysis

Abstract. We describe two bis(perfluoroaryl)nickel(II) complexes, Ni(C6F5)2(NCPh)2 and [NBu4]2[{Ni(C6F5)2(μ–OH)2}2], as bench-stable, broadly soluble, and

Pd(II)-Catalyzed Oxidative Annulation of Alkenes toward Isoxazoline N-Oxides

Abstract. A Pd(II)-catalyzed [3 + 2] annulation of alkenyl amides and nitroalkanes is described. The method furnishes intricately functionalized isoxazolin

B‑Alkyl-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane Reagents Promote Closed-Shell Nickel-Catalyzed Alkylarylation...

Abstract. Access to new tailored monomers is essential to explore unprecedented polymer structures and modulate their properties. In previous work, we disc

Mechanistically Guided Functionalization of α,α-Disubstituted Alkenyl Amides Enabled by a Conform...

Abstract. In this work, we demonstrate that directing group flexibility plays a decisive role in overcoming reactivity barriers in PdII-catalyzed alkene fu

Ni(DQ)2: A Useful Gateway to Zero-Valent Nickel Complexes

Abstract. We report the convenient synthesis of Ni­(DQ)2 (DQ = duroquinone) from readily available Ni­(II) and Ni(0) precursors, guided by DFT calculations
