Journal ArticleDOI
Unprecedented Multicomponent Organocatalytic Synthesis of Propargylic Esters via CO2 Activation
TL;DR: The contribution of COST Action CA15106 (C−H Activation in Organic Synthesis-CHAOS) was acknowledged by the authors of as discussed by the authors, who are also grateful for the technical and human support provided by IZO-SGI SGIker of UPV/EHU, and the European Funding Horizon 2020-MSCA (ITN-EJD CATMEC 14/06-721223)
Journal ArticleDOI
Photocatalytic Atom Transfer Radical Addition to Olefins Utilizing Novel Photocatalysts.
Errika Voutyritsa,Ierasia Triandafillidi,Nikolaos V. Tzouras,Nikolaos F. Nikitas,Eleftherios K. Pefkianakis,Georgios C. Vougioukalakis,Christoforos G. Kokotos +6 more
TL;DR: The tailor-made ruthenium-based catalyst bearing the pyridine-quinoline bidentate ligand proved to be the best-performing photocatalyst, among a range of metal complexes and organocatalysts, efficiently catalyzing both reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and self-photooxygenation of alkenyl-linked [60]fullerene derivatives. A regioselective ene reaction.
TL;DR: Alkenyl-linked C(60) derivatives undergo self-photooxygenation regioselectively, by the preferential abstraction of allylic hydrogens on the fullerene side of the double bond.
Journal ArticleDOI
Green asymmetric synthesis: β-amino alcohol-catalyzed direct asymmetric aldol reactions in aqueous micelles.
Afroditi Pinaka,Georgios C. Vougioukalakis,Dimitra Dimotikali,E. Yannakopoulou,Bezhan Chankvetadze,Kyriakos Papadopoulos +5 more
TL;DR: A family of cheap and easily accessible β-amino alcohols was shown to successfully catalyze the asymmetric aldol reaction between a series of ketones and aromatic aldehydes, which furnished the corresponding β-hydroxy ketones with up to 93% isolated yield and 89% ee.
Journal ArticleDOI
Addition of Electron-Rich Aromatics to Azafullerenium Carbocation. A Stepwise Electrophilic Substitution Mechanism
TL;DR: The measured intermolecular kinetic isotope effects are consistent with an electrophilic aromatic substitution mechanism in which the arenium cation is formed by Electrophilic attack of C(59)N(+) on the aromatic ring in the first step of the reaction, followed by hydrogen abstraction in a rate-determining second step.
