Asymmetric Dual-Catalytic Cascade by Chiral N-Heterocyclic Carbene and Quinuclidine: Mechanism and Origin of Enantioselectivity in Benzofuranone Formation
Yernaidu Reddi,Raghavan B. Sunoj +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the origin of asymmetric multicatalytic reactions using chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) in conjunction with other catalysts is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origin of Stereoselectivity in a Chiral N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalyzed Desymmetrization of Substituted Cyclohexyl 1,3-Diketones
Yernaidu Reddi,Raghavan B. Sunoj +1 more
TL;DR: The mechanism and stereoselectivity in a chiral N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed desymmetrization of a 1,3-diketone is established by using density functional theory computations and the Breslow intermediate formation is identified to involve Hunig's base-assisted proton transfer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanistic Studies on Stereoselective Organocatalytic Direct β-C–H Activation in an Aliphatic Chain by Chiral N-Heterocyclic Carbenes
Yernaidu Reddi,Raghavan B. Sunoj +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a NHC-catalyzed coupling between hydrazone and β-phenyl propionate leading to a γ-lactam bearing two chiral centers is reported, which helps surmount the high bond dissociation energy of an otherwise inert β-C-H bond.
Journal ArticleDOI
Readily Degradable Aromatic Polyesters from Salicylic Acid
TL;DR: The polyethylene terephthalate (PET) constitutes around 10% of the global plastic market with aromatic polyesters, such as poly(ethylene-terephthalates), being the most prevalent because of their attractive properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanistic Insight into the Stereoselective Cationic Polymerization of Vinyl Ethers.
Travis P. Varner,Aaron J. Teator,Yernaidu Reddi,Paige E Jacky,Christopher J. Cramer,Frank A. Leibfarth +5 more
TL;DR: The more complete understanding of stereoselective cationic polymerization reported herein offers a foundation for the design of improved catalytic systems and for the translation of isotactic poly(vinyl ether)s to applied areas.
