Journal ArticleDOI

Innate C-H trifluoromethylation of heterocycles.

TL;DR: Preliminary data suggest that the regioselectivity of C-H trifluoromethylation can be fine-tuned simply by judicious solvent choice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reaction progress kinetic analysis: a powerful methodology for mechanistic studies of complex catalytic reactions.

TL;DR: Reaction progress kinetic analysis to obtain a comprehensive picture of complex catalytic reaction behavior is described to help describe the driving forces of a reaction and may be used to help distinguish between different proposed mechanistic models.
Journal ArticleDOI

A New Reagent for Direct Difluoromethylation

TL;DR: This mild, operationally simple, chemoselective, and scalable difluoromethylation method is compatible with a range of nitrogen-containing heteroarene substrates of varying complexity as well as select classes of conjugated π-systems and thiols.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emergence of a single solid chiral state from a nearly racemic amino acid derivative.

TL;DR: Attrition-enhanced dissolution and recrystallization processes based on solubility considerations of the Gibbs−Thomson rule, coupled with solution-phase racemization, drive this near-equilibrium system inexorably to single chirality in the solid phase.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanistic investigation leads to a synthetic improvement in the hydrolytic kinetic resolution of terminal epoxides.

TL;DR: The mechanism of the hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) of terminal epoxides was investigated by kinetic analysis using reaction calorimetry and insight led to the identification of more active catalysts for the HKR of synthetically useful terminalEpoxides.
