Journal ArticleDOI

Spontaneous transfer of parahydrogen derived spin order to pyridine at low magnetic field.

TL;DR: The degree of signal enhancement in the free substrate is increased by employing electronically rich and sterically encumbered phosphine ligands such as PCy(3), PCy (2)Ph, or P(i)Pr(3) and by optimizing the strength of the magnetic field in which polarization transfer occurs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contrasting reactivity of fluoropyridines at palladium and platinum: C-F oxidative addition at palladium, P-C and C-F activation at platinum

TL;DR: The divergent behavior of palladium and platinum is revealed in the reactivity of [M(PR3)2] (M = Pd or Pt; R = Cy or iPr) toward pentafluoropyridine and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoropeyridine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aluminum(salen) Complexes as Catalysts for the Kinetic Resolution of Terminal Epoxides via CO2 Coupling

TL;DR: In this paper, the development of inexpensive and sustainable aluminum(salen) complexes as catalysts for the kinetic resolution of terminal epoxides is described, which is carried out under mild conditions (0 −25 °C and 1 bar of CO2 pressure) in the presence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as co-catalyst in the absence of solvent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pot, atom and step economic (PASE) synthesis of highly functionalized piperidines: a five-component condensation

TL;DR: In this paper, the diastereoselective pot, atom and step economic (PASE) synthesis of highly functionalized piperidines has been realized, which simply involves mixing methyl acetoacetate, 2 equiv of aldehyde and 2 equaliv of aniline together in the presence of InCl3.
