چکیده

The work on development of organic reactions that are tolerant to air and moisture, especially that of carbon-carbon bond forming reactions, had only started in the early 1990s. Our laboratory had approached this subject when it was still in its infancy and had developed methodologies for that end. In this article, our decade of work on indium complexes as Lewis acids is summarised.

Identification of Amino Acids Involve in Indium Binding To Serum Human Apo-Transferrin

Indium is a heavy metal belonging to group IIIa. It is used as a radioimaging and chemotherapeutic agent in diagnosis and also in the treatment of cancers. It is believed that indium may interfere with iron metabolism and reduce cell growth in cancer tissue. The present report was established to study the binding of iron and indium to apo-transferrin (apo-tf) and to identify amino acids involv...

Tandem Catalytic Depolymerization of Lignin by Water‐Tolerant Lewis Acids and Rhodium Complexes

Lignin is an attractive renewable feedstock for aromatic bulk and fine chemicals production, provided that suitable depolymerization procedures are developed. Here, we describe a tandem catalysis strategy for ether linkage cleavage within lignin, involving ether hydrolysis by water-tolerant Lewis acids followed by aldehyde decarbonylation by a Rh complex. In situ decarbonylation of the reactive...

Indium tribromide-promoted arene-terminated epoxy olefin cyclization.

An arene-terminated epoxy olefin cyclization was promoted by a water-tolerant Lewis acid to give tri- and tetracyclic 3beta-hydroxy terpenoids and steroid derivatives in 57 and 37% yields, respectively, per new formed ring up to 75%.

Porous and robust lanthanide metal-organoboron frameworks as water tolerant Lewis acid catalysts.

Porous and robust 12-connected metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) were constructed by linking tetranuclear lanthanide (Ln) carbonate clusters with organoboron-derived tricarboxylate bridging ligands. The high-connectivity Ln-MOFs feature remarkable thermal and hydrolytic stability and a large number of isolated Lewis acid B(III) and Ln(III) sites on the pore surfaces. The Nd-MOF assisted with sodi...

A Lewis acid/metal amide hybrid as an efficient catalyst for carbon–carbon bond formation

While Lewis acids andmetal amides are among themost frequently usedmetal species, they are believed to be incompatible when combined. Here we describe a Lewis acid/metal amide hybrid, which contains electron-withdrawing groups and basic and bulky nitrogen functional groups in the same metal complex, as a novel catalyst. We have synthesized In(N(SiMe3)2)2Cl (In(HMDS)2Cl) and In(HMDS)2OTf as Lewi...
