Book ChapterDOI
Building Block Approaches to Aliphatic Organofluorine Compounds
TL;DR: A review of building block chemistry of lightly-fluorinated aliphatic compounds can be found in this article, where building blocks are small readily available materials that already contain fluorine atoms.
Journal ArticleDOI
What is the initiation step of the Grubbs-Hoveyda olefin metathesis catalyst?
TL;DR: Density function theory calculations reveal that the Grubbs-Hoveyda olefin metathesis pre-catalyst is activated by the formation of a complex in which the incoming alkene substrate and outgoing alkoxy ligand are both clearly associated with the ruthenium centre.
Journal ArticleDOI
New fluorine-containing building blocks from trifluoroethanol. 1
TL;DR: In this article, a new fluorine containing acyl anion equivalent 1,1-difluoro-2-lithio-2-[(N,N-diethylcarbamato)-ethene 9 has been prepared and trapped with a number of electrophiles in good yields.
Journal ArticleDOI
Olefin Metathesis by Grubbs–Hoveyda Complexes: Computational and Experimental Studies of the Mechanism and Substrate-Dependent Kinetics
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential energy surfaces for the activation of Grubbs-Hoveyda-type precatalysts with the substrates ethene, propene, 1-hexene, and ethyl vinyl ether (EVE) have been probed at the density functional theory (DFT) (M06-L) level.
Journal ArticleDOI
[2,3]-Wittig Rearrangements of Difluoroallylic Ethers. A Facile Entry to Highly Functionalized Molecules Containing a CF2 Group
TL;DR: In this paper, the [2,3]-Wittig rearrangements of these difluoroallylic ethers have been achieved cleanly, using lithium diisopropylamide in tetrahydrofuran at −30 °C.
