Bulky Alkenes Converted: New Hydroboration Technology

By admin | Geen categorie | 0 Comments

By Sander Kluwer Enantioselective hydroboration of C=C double bonds is a pivotal reaction in organic synthesis, enabling the synthesis of chiral organoboron compounds with high precision. This process involves the addition of borane to alkenes, favoring the formation of one enantiomer over the other. Historically, significant advancements have been made with mono-, di-, and trisubstituted […]

By: Valentinos Mouarrawis and Sander Kluwer The importance of hydroformylation cannot be overstated! This chemical reaction entails the addition of syngas, a mixture of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2), to olefins in the presence of a catalyst to produce aldehydes. Since its discovery by Otto Roelen in 1938, the hydroformylation process has evolved into […]

By Sander Kluwer Alkenes, and particularly substituted alkenes form an important class of compounds are commonly part of biologically active molecules or form the substrate for numerous catalytic conversions such as hydroformylation and (asymmetric) hydrogenation. The synthetic efforts increase with the number of substituents present on the C=C double bond as the possible arrangements increases […]

The demand for molecules of increasing complexity creates a strong need for new chemical tools. In particular, the synthesis of polyarene molecules bearing multiple substituents is challenging as no direct methods allow for the selectively introduction of non-identical substituents. In this respect, chemoselective reactions play a crucial role as they represent a straightforward method, suppressing […]

In drug discovery, chemodivergent reactions have recently attracted great interest because of their involvement in the synthesis of libraries of small molecules. The concept of diversity-oriented synthesis relates to the selective formation of various well-defined products from only one readily available starting material. This can be achieved by steering the reaction’s selectivity through fine-tuning of […]
