Journal ArticleDOI
Manganese-Catalyzed β-Alkylation of Secondary Alcohols with Primary Alcohols under Phosphine-Free Conditions
TL;DR: In this article, a pyridyl-supported pyrazolyl-imidazolyl ligand was used to catalyze the direct β-alkylation of secondary alcohols with primary alcohols under phosphine-free conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lewis Acid Assisted Ring-Closing Metathesis of Chiral Diallylamines: An Efficient Approach to Enantiopure Pyrrolidine Derivatives
TL;DR: Lewis acid assisted ring-closing olefin metathesis of chiral diallylamines, using the second generation RCM ruthenium-based catalyst, leads to enantiopure pyrrolidine derivatives in 79-93% yields under very mild conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient Rh(I)-catalyzed direct arylation and alkenylation of arene C-H bonds via decarbonylation of benzoic and cinnamic anhydrides.
TL;DR: Efficient rhodium(I)-catalyzed regioselective direct arylation and alkenylation of aromatic C-H bonds has been realized with aromatic carboxylic and cinnamic anhydrides as the coupling partners via decarbonylation andC-H activation under phosphine-free conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct Alkenylation of Indoles with α‐Oxo Ketene Dithioacetals: Efficient Synthesis of Indole Alkaloids Meridianin Derivatives
TL;DR: Let's make 'meri': Metal-free direct alkenylation of indoles was realized by acid-mediated substitution reactions of alpha-oxo ketene dithioacetals with indoles in trifluoroacetic acid/dichloromethane, selectively affording beta-indolyl mono- and disubstituted alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl compounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Copper(II)-mediated dehydrogenative cross-coupling of heteroarenes.
TL;DR: This synthetic protocol provides a concise and "green" access to unsymmetrical biheteroarenes bearing structural motifs of substantial utility in organic synthesis.
