From [NHC─H]• to Persistent σ‐Complex Radicals: Photoinduced Radical Chemistry of Imidazolium Salts
Visible‐light excitation of electron donor–acceptor (EDA) complexes between imidazolium salts and triarylamines enables controlled single‐electron transfer (SET) and reveals a family of carbene‐centered σ‐complex radical cations. Cryogenic electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) captures the elusive [NHC─H]• intermediate and its thermal evolution into ...

Nonproductive Events in Ring-Closing Metathesis Using Ruthenium Catalysts [PDF]
The relative TONs of productive and nonproductive metathesis reactions of diethyl diallylmalonate are compared for eight different ruthenium-based catalysts. Nonproductive cross metathesis is proposed to involve a chain-carrying ruthenium methylidene.

Efficient catalytic alkyne metathesis with a fluoroalkoxy-supported ditungsten(III) complex
The molybdenum and tungsten complexes M2(OR)6 (Mo2F6, M = Mo, R = C(CF3)2Me; W2F3, M = W, R = OC(CF3)Me2) were synthesized as bimetallic congeners of the highly active alkyne metathesis catalysts [MesC≡M{OC(CF3)nMe3−n}] (MoF6, M = Mo, n = 2; WF3, M = W ...

Thermally Stable, Latent Olefin Metathesis Catalysts [PDF]
Highly thermally stable N-aryl, N-alkyl N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ruthenium catalysts were designed and synthesized for latent olefin metathesis. These catalysts showed excellent latent behavior toward metathesis reactions, whereby the complexes were ...

SI‐bioATRP in Mesoporous Silica for Size‐Exclusion Driven Local Polymer Placement
An enzyme‐catalyzed surface‐initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI‐bioATRP) of an anionic monomer within mesoporous silica particles, using hemoglobin as a catalyst, allows for controlling the location of the formed polymer via size‐exclusion effects between the nanopores and the biomacromolecules, thereby opening routes to functional ...

First Total Synthesis of Cryptopyranmoscatone A3 and Cryptopyranmoscatone B4
The first total synthesis of cryptopyranmoscatones A3 and B4 has been accomplished from d-ribose or but-3-ynol. The key steps involved in the synthesis are oxa-Michael addition, highly diastereoselective Brown allylation, and ring closing metathesis ...

Enantioselective synthesis of (+)-petromyroxol, enabled by rhodium-catalyzed denitrogenation and rearrangement of a 1-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazole [PDF]
Petromyroxol is a non-racemic mixture of enantiomeric oxylipids isolated from water conditioned with larval sea lamprey. The (+)-antipode exhibits interesting biological properties but only 1 mg was isolated from >100000 L of water.
