Journal ArticleDOI
Pinwheel-Shaped Heterobimetallic Lanthanide Alkali Metal Binaphtholates: Ionic Size Matters!
Helen C. Aspinall,Jamie F. Bickley,Jennifer L. M. Dwyer,Nicholas Greeves,and Richard V. Kelly,Alexander Steiner +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the 3-proton of the unique binol ligand in RRS- and SSR-Li3[Y(binol)3] is shifted upfield by interaction with the π-system of a neighboring naphthyl ring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lanthanide Pybox Complexes as Catalysts for Enantioselective Silylcyanation of Aldehydes
TL;DR: In this article, the enantioselective silylcyanation of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes with pybox ligands was investigated under mild and convenient conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three component synthesis of homoallylic amines. Efficient catalysis by lanthanum triflate/benzoic acid
TL;DR: Lanthanum triflate-benzoic acid catalyses the in situ formation and allylation of various imines from aldehydes and an aromatic amine as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catalytic, asymmetric cyanohydrin synthesis mediated by lanthanide(III) chloride pybox complexes
TL;DR: Complexes formed between lanthanide trichlorides and 2,6-bis( substituted -2-oxazolin-2-yl)pyridine (pybox) ligands are effective catalysts for the enantioselective addition of trimethylsilylcyanide (TMSCN) to a range of aldehydes as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent progress in the synthesis and applications of glycerol carbonate
Scott Christy,Annarita Noschese,Mónica Lomelí-Rodríguez,Nicholas Greeves,Jose Antonio Lopez-Sanchez +4 more
TL;DR: Glycerol carbonate as mentioned in this paper is a bio-derived compound that results from the cyclo-condensation of glycerol, arguably the best studied and most promising biomass derived compound.
