Organocatalytic Enantioselective Transfer Hydrogenation of β-Amino Nitroolefins.
TL;DR: The asymmetric organocatalytic transfer hydrogenation of β-acylamino and β-tert-butyloxycarbonylamino nitroolefins has been successfully realised in excellent enantioselectivities and yields (up to >99% ee, 97% yield) with a simple thiourea catalyst and a Hantzsch ester as hydrogen source, giving a direct access to enantiomerically pure β-amino ion nitroalkanes as discussed by the authors.
Chemistry of Silyl Thioketones. Part 9. A New Selective Synthesis of 1‐ Silyl‐1‐enethiols and of 2‐Silyl‐thiacycloalk‐2‐enes of Common to Large Ring Size.
TL;DR: In this paper, α-Haloacylsilanes were selectively transformed via thioacyls-ilanes into Z-silyl-enethiols 4 with solid sodium hydrogen carbonate or into 2-Silylthiacycloalk-2-enes 5 of common to large ring size with solid Sodium hydroxide.
Catalytic Ferrocenyl Sulfides for the Asymmetric Transformation of Aldehydes into Epoxides.
TL;DR: In this article, six ferrocenyl sulfides, exhibiting planar and central chiralities, have been screened as a catalytic source of asymmetric sulfonium ylides.
Synthesis of new enantiomerically pure 1,3-bis-(2’-oxazolinyl)ferrocenes as potential pincer ligands
TL;DR: In this article, enantiomerically pure 1,3-bis(2'-oxazolinyl)ferrocenes have been synthesized in good yields starting from 1, 3-ferrocene dicarboxylic acid.
