Phosphines are fundamentally important to the fine chemicals, pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries. Reported is the first example of alkene hydrophosphination using a designed iron pre-catalyst which yields the anti-Markovnikov products in high yield at room temperature. The phosphine products are excellent pro-ligands for Fe-catalyzed Negishi cross-coupling.

Palladium catalyzed allylic C-H functionalization was performed using exocyclic alkene substrates. Multi-component synthesis of stereodefined homoallylic alcohols could be performed using a reaction sequence involving allylic C-H borylation and allylation of aldehydes.

A method is provided for preparing benzoprostacyclins by the free-radical-catalyzed tandem alkene insertion into a 1,4-bisoxy-substituted cyclopent-2-ene intermediate.

A neutral Zr(IV) complex has been shown to be an effective precatalyst for intramolecular alkene hydroaminations that provide cyclic amines in good to excellent yields.

Este trabalho descreve nosso esforço em heterogeneizar catalisadores para epoxidação. Tanto o molibdênio ancorado quanto o engaiolado pelo método de sol-gel mostraram grande seletividade, mas possuem suas atividades fortemente reduzidas. Por outro lado, silicatos de molibdênio foram muito ativos e estáveis até a formação de diols na mistura reacional. Catalisadores heterogeneizados de rênio for...

A new method of palladium-catalyzed phenyl-alkene bond formation is reported. This reaction involves transfer of all three phenyl groups from triphenylantimony onto alkenes containing allylic protons.

In the title compound, C(6)H(9)NO(4), which is an example of a push-pull alkene, N-H⋯O inter-actions stabilize the crystal structure.
