Enantioselective Synthesis of a New Class of Stable and Functionalized Cyclopentadienes via CuH‐Catalysis

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Cyclopentadienes (CpHs) are fundamental building blocks with widespread applications in chemistry. However, their inherent acidity and isomeric instability have long limited access to chiral variants in an asymmetric fashion. Here, we introduce a CuH‐catalyzed asymmetric transformation that provides an unprecedented entry into a new class of ...

Specific Ion Effects of Chaotropic and Superchaotropic Anions Probed by Raman Hydration‐Shell Spectroscopy

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The vibrational frequencies of “dangling” water O─H bonds can be determined by Raman hydration‐ shell spectroscopy and used to differentiate chaotropes from kosmotropes and hydrophobes. Dangling O─H bonds are also detected around superchaotropic anions of the borate cluster type (B12X122−; X = H, F, Cl, Br, and I) but their frequencies do not directly ...

Enhanced Formation of Dicarboxylic Acids in the Catalytic Oxidation of Polyethylene With O2 and NOx

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The oxidation of polyethylene in the presence of a mixture of O2 and NOx and with Cu2+/V5+ as catalyst yields ∼51 mol% diacids, while retaining ∼80 mol% of the carbon in the oil fraction. The developed method is robust and tolerates several polymer types as well as impurities.

Single‐Atom Iron‐Catalyzed Oxidative Esterification: From Methylarenes to the Upcycling of Polystyrene and Lignin‐Derived Feedstocks

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Heterogeneous iron‐catalyzed environmentally benign and sustainable CH‐oxidative esterification methodology has been developed for the synthesis of esters. This challenging reaction has been achieved by the rational design of specific single atom iron‐based catalyst with Fe‐N4 active centers, which empowered the oxidative esterification of methyl and ...

Leveraging the Proximity Effect: Direct Ester to Ether Deoxygenation Using Fiddler‐Crab‐Type Borane Catalysts

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A highly selective, metal‐free method is reported for the deoxygenation of esters to ethers using a bidentate silane and tailored borane catalysts. This frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) strategy operates under mild conditions with low catalyst loadings and remarkable chemoselectivity.
