Strategic Applications of Named Reactions in Organic Synthesis: Background and Detailed Mechanisms
TL;DR: This main section includes 250 two-page entries about Named Organic Reactions, which lists the Named Reactions by Synthetic Type and by their Utility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organocatalytic aryl-aryl bond formation: An atroposelective [3,3]-rearrangement approach to BINAM derivatives
TL;DR: Density functional calculations reveal that, in the transition state for C-C bond formation, the phosphoric acid proton of the catalyst is fully transferred to one of the N-atoms of the substrate, and the resulting phosphate acts as a chiral counterion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dirhodium-catalyzed C-H arene amination using hydroxylamines.

TL;DR: A mild dirhodium-catalyzed C-H amination is presented for conversion of structurally diverse monocyclic and fused aromatics to the corresponding primary and N-alkyl arylamines using NH2/NH(alkyl)-O-(sulfonyl)hydroxylamines as aminating agents; the relatively weak RSO2O-N bond functions as an internal oxidant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Symmetry in Cascade Chirality-Transfer Processes: A Catalytic Atroposelective Direct Arylation Approach to BINOL Derivatives
TL;DR: A scalable organocatalytic direct arylation approach for the regio- and atroposelective synthesis of non-C2-symmetric 2,2'-dihydroxy-1,1'-binaphthalenes (BINOLs) and suggests that the (local) symmetry of the initially formed aminal intermediate has a dramatic impact on the level of enantioinduction in the final product.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid synthesis of fused N-heterocycles by transition-metal-free electrophilic amination of arene C-H bonds.
TL;DR: An efficient and operationally simple protocol for the preparation of fused N-heterocycles starting from readily available 2-nitrobiaryls and PhMgBr under mild conditions is disclosed.
