Halogen bonding-assisted Csp3–Br homolysis and bromine radical-mediated oxidative deboronation make visible-light-driven photocatalyst-free alkyl Suzuki–Miyaura coupling of alkenylboronic acids/esters with α-bromodifluoroacylarenes accessible.
Increasing the dual-enzyme cascade biocatalysis efficiency and stability of metal–organic frameworks via one-step coimmobilization for visual detection of glucose has been illustrated.
Brown grease (BG), a high free-fatty-acid rendering coproduct, was upgraded to lubricant base stocks via one of four single-step functionalization methods: ethyl esterification, methyl esterification, epoxidation, or hydroxylation.
Herein, we report a rhodium/chiral diene-catalyzed asymmetric desymmetrization of 1,2-diformylmetallocenes with aryl/alkenylboronic acids to give enantio-enriched formylmetallocenes, which are diastereoisomers of Ugi-type products.
A mechanochemical method for dual asymmetric catalysis is developed, which prevents mutual deactivation between chiral squaramide and ruthenium species. This enables an addition/reduction cascade process for the synthesis of chiral δ-hydroxysulfones.
