Remote aromatic metalation. An anionic Friedel-Crafts equivalent for the regioselective synthesis of condensed fluorenones from biaryl and m-teraryl 2-amides
TL;DR: Remote metalation of mteraryl and biaryl amides constitutes a short and convenient route to a variety of substituted and condensed fluorenones, including aza analogues and the natural product, dengibsinin this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
ortho and remote metalation – cross coupling strategies. Total synthesis of the naturally occurring fluorenone dengibsinin and the azafluoranthene alkaloid imeluteine
TL;DR: In this paper, the total synthesis of the naturally occurring fluorenone, dengibsinin (7a), and the azafluoranthene alkaloid, imeluteine (30e), using combined ortho metalation and cross coupling seque...
Journal ArticleDOI
Complex induced proximity effect enhancement in α-silyl carbanion generation. A general conversion of 2-silyl benzamides into 2-fluorosilylacetophenones
TL;DR: LDA treatment of 2-silylated benzamides as discussed by the authors affords 2-fluorosilylated acetophenones and catechols in a general process likely driven by CIPE-facilitated α silyl carbanion formation and rearrangement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated aromatic metalation - cross coupling methodologies. A concise synthesis of the azafluoranthene alkaloid imeluteine
B. Zhao,Victor Snieckus +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an efficient synthesis of imeluteine by a combinational metalation (ortho and remote) cross coupling approach was described, and a cross-coupling approach was proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aqueous electrochemically-triggered atom transfer radical polymerization
TL;DR: Simplified electrochemical atom transfer radical polymerization (seATRP) using CuII-N-propyl pyridineimine complexes (CuII(NPPI)2) is reported for the first time in this paper .
