Ph3PAuOTf catalyzes efficient intra- and intermolecular hydroamination of unactivated olefins with sulfonamides.

Novel cyclic olefin polymers (COPs) derived from bulky cyclic olefins, tricyclodipentadiene (TCPD) and tricyclo[6.4.0.19,12]-tridec-10-ene (TTE), with high glass transition temperature (Tg), excellent thermal stability, and high transparency, have been synthesized by ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) and subsequent hydrogenation. ROMP of TCPD and TTE was carried out successfully wit...

Re(I) complexes are applied as catalysts for the dehydro-coupling of Me2NH.BH3 and the transfer-hydrogenation of olefins.

Ethylene, alpha-olefins, and vinyl arenes undergo platinum-catalyzed hydroarylation with substituted indoles in moderate to good yield.

In this study, a new recoverable catalyst for the epoxidation of olefins was developed using a layered polysiloxane as a support for immobilizing  (salen) molybdenum(VI) complex by electrostatic interaction between the surface of the solid support and the electrically charged molybdenum complex. Characterization of the heterogeneous catalyst by Fourier transform infrared, XRD,1H NMR,...

a two-dimensional nanolayered polyoxomolybdate, [4,4´-h2bipy] [mo7o22].h2o (1), where 4,4´-bipy = 4,4´-bipyridine, was prepared and characterized by ft-ir and atomic absorption spectroscopies, transmission electron microscopy (tem), x-ray single crystal and powder diffraction (xrd), and thermogravimetric analysis. the catalytic performance of 1 was assessed in the epoxidation of some olefins em...
