Hydroalkylation of Vinylarenes by Transition-Metal-Free In Situ Generation of Benzylic Nucleophiles Using Tetramethyldisiloxane and Potassium tert-Butoxide (Stephen G. Newman and co-workers) @TheNewmanLab #openaccess šŸ”“ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/ā€¦

Hydroalkylation of Vinylarenes by Transitionā€Metalā€Free In Situ Generation of Benzylic Nucleophiles...

The combination of Lewis bases and hydrosilanes has recently emerged as a mechanistically diverse manifold to facilitate various defunctionalizations, silylations, and intramolecular rearrangements....

@TheNewmanLab had a fun time @qomsboc 2024. Thanks @diaogroupNYU for her valuable feedback and a shout out to @arefvaezghaemi for winning best oral presentation @ Piers for best poster. Celebrations continued thereafter. Big thanks to @RousseauxGroup for being a great organizer!

Common reactants, uncommon outcome. See how @czc_chem achieved atypical regioselectivity in the Mizoroki-Heck reaction of vinyl boronates in @JOC_OL pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021ā€¦

Mizoroki-Heck reactions with cyclic enones are surprisingly difficult. Read our latest work in collaboration with @Pfizer in @ACSCatalysis to find out why. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsā€¦

How can we better use feedstock molecules and avoid stoichiometric functional group interconversion steps? PhD student Adam Cook documents how catalysis can enable complexity-building reactions with alcohols, now on @ChemRxiv (dx.doi.org/10.26434/chemrxivā€¦)

Our review is now online @ACSChemRev (doi.org/10.1021/acs.chemrev.ā€¦). Take a look to see some creative ways chemists have come up with to directly use alcohols in transition metal catalysis.

Alcohols as Substrates in Transition-Metal-Catalyzed Arylation, Alkylation, and Related Reactions

Alcohols are abundant and attractive feedstock molecules for organic synthesis. Many methods for their functionalization require them to first be converted into a more activated derivative, while...

Happy to see this in print! Take a look if you want to learn how to make P2N2 ligands and see what they can do.
