A schematic of NaHMDS as a sacrificial sodium source for highly reversible anode-free sodium batteries with stable SEI/CEI interphases and dendrite-free deposition.
Coupling of sulfones and alcohols catalyzed by Ni(OAc)2/P(t-Bu)3 undergoes α-alkylation while β-olefination proceeds in the presence of a base and air.
Sodium camphorsultam enolates are structurally characterized uncovering monomers and dimers; rate studies reveal ionic transition structures and curious solvation effects.
A catalytic coupling of benzylic sulfones with aryl triflates for the synthesis of 1,1-diarylethylenes was reported. The transformation tolerates various benzylic sulfones, especially heteroaromatic-substituted sulfones.
This study proposed an innovative and pragmatic approach to the asymmetric Friedel–Crafts reaction by employing indoles/pyrroles and chiral N-tert-butanesulfinylimines promoted by NaHMDS/B(C6F5)3.
