- the simplicity of their synthesis and the modularity of their stereoelectronic properties, NHCs have unquestionably emerged as one of the most fascinating and well-known species in chemical science. The remarkable stability of NHCs can be attributed to both kinetic as well as thermodynamic effects
- structure of an NHC (8) is shown in Figure 1. NHCs having three nitrogen atoms in the five-membered ring, e.g., 1,2,4-triazolylidenes have also been prepared [6]. Both kinetic as well as thermodynamic effects contribute to the remarkable stability of the NHC ring. The presence of bulky substituent groups on
- the nitrogen atoms adjacent to the carbene center result in kinetic stabilization of the NHC suppressing its dimerization to the corresponding olefin (the Wanzlick equilibrium). On the other hand, thermodynamic stabilization results due to donation of lone pair(s) electrons of the adjacent nitrogen

Also, a competition experiment between 32 and [D6]-32 gave a competitive intermolecular kinetic isotope effect of 9.5 that suggested an N-Me proton abstraction was the rate determining step. Given this, the authors

Review C–H Alkylation of pyridine The C–H bond is the backbone of an organic molecule and the conversion of a C–H bond to a C–X bond (X = carbon or heteroatom) forms the basis in organic synthesis. The functionalization of C–H bonds is challenging due to a large kinetic barrier for C–H bond cleavage and

- recorded on a LP920 laser flash photolysis spectrometer (Edinburgh Instruments, Ltd., U.K.). The data (kinetic decay traces and the transient difference absorption spectra) were analyzed with the L900 software. All samples were deaerated with N2 for ca. 15 min in collinear configuration of the pump and

- the unsymmetrical salens with zinc, copper, and cobalt was studied and the chiral Co–salen complex 2f was obtained in 98% yield. Hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) of epichlorohydrin with water catalyzed by complex 2f (0.5 mol %) was explored and resulted in 98% ee, suggesting complex 2f could serve
- with regard to conformational differences, for instance, oligosalen [14], macrocyclic oligosalen [15], and polymeric salen [16]. Jacobsen and co-workers reported the first synthesis of α-aryloxy alcohols through the phenolic kinetic resolution (KR) of terminal epoxides using a Co–salen catalyst [17
- were explored as well. Furthermore, we present the hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) of epichlorohydrin with water using Co–salen complexes 2, and α-aryloxy alcohols were synthesized by the 2f catalytic system through the asymmetric ring opening of epichlorohydrin and phenols.
