A Powerful Aluminum Catalyst for the Synthesis of Highly Functional Organic Carbonates
Christopher J. Whiteoak,Nicola Kielland,Victor Laserna,Eduardo C. Escudero-Adán,Eddy Martin,Arjan W. Kleij +5 more
TL;DR: An aluminum complex based on an amino triphenolate ligand scaffold shows unprecedented high activity, broad substrate scope, and functional group tolerance in the formation of highly functional organic carbonates prepared from epoxides and CO(2).

Carbon Dioxide as a Protecting Group: Highly Efficient and Selective Catalytic Access to Cyclic cis-Diol Scaffolds†
Victor Laserna,Giulia Fiorani,Christopher J. Whiteoak,Eddy Martin,Eduardo C. Escudero-Adán,Arjan W. Kleij +5 more
TL;DR: This atom-efficient method allows the simple construction of diol synthons using inexpensive and accessible precursors and green metal catalysts and showcases the use of CO2 as a temporary protecting group.
Substrate-Triggered Stereoselective Preparation of Highly Substituted Organic Carbonates
TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual design for CO2-based synthesized cyclic carbonates using hydroxyl-substituted cyclic epoxide precursors and their catalytic conversion is presented.
Catalytic direct amidations in tert-butyl acetate using B(OCH2CF3)3
Charlotte E. Coomber,Victor Laserna,Liam T Martin,Peter D. Smith,Helen C. Hailes,Michael J. Porter,Tom D. Sheppard +6 more
TL;DR: B(OCH2CF3)3-catalysed direct amidations of challenging substrates (polar heteroycles, poorly nucleophilic anilines) work well in tBuOAc under Dean–Stark conditions.
Effect of an Al(III) Complex on the Regio- and Stereoisomeric Formation of Bicyclic Organic Carbonates
Cristina Maquilón,Bart Limburg,Victor Laserna,Diego Garay-Ruiz,Joan González-Fabra,Carles Bo,Marta Martínez Belmonte,Eduardo C. Escudero-Adán,Arjan W. Kleij +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of an Al(III) aminotriphenolate complex on the regio-... has been investigated in the case of carbon dioxide into organic molecules using catalytic approaches.
