Transition metal catalyst

This article focuses on carbon-hydrogen (C–H) functionalization within the framework of transition-metal catalysis, and does not cover other types of C–H transformations such as radical, photoredox, or electrochemical processes. The central questions addressed here are: how to judge whether ...

Bis(pinacolato)diboron is a covalent compound containing two boron atoms and two pinacolato ligands. It has the formula [(CH3)4C2O2B]2; the pinacol groups are sometimes abbreviated as "pin", so the structure is sometimes represented as B2pin2. It is a colourless solid that is soluble in organic ...

C(sp2)- and C(sp)-hybridized coupling reactions are established catalytic approaches. However, multi-step C(sp3)- and C(sp2)-coupling reactions of boronic acids and related derivatives are still limited by ineffective two-electron transmetalation reactions. These conventional protocols exhibit ...

Photoredox catalysis has become a powerful synthetic method, which can form Covalent bond under mild reaction conditions through light irradiation.

Hydrogenation is a very common reaction in which H2 can be introduced through double or triple bonds and is widely used in both laboratory and industrial production. This reaction usually requires the presence of metal catalysts in order to carry out, in the presence of such catalysts, it is ...
