1,3-Diiodo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin(DIH) exhibits a reactivity similar to molecular iodine but is easier to manage since it does not sublime as a solid reagent. Additionally, DIH serves as a viable substitute for NIS (N-iodosuccinimide) in the iodination of arenes or enols.
Visible-light photoredox catalysis represents a significant and expanding research domain within the realm of eco-friendly and sustainable organic synthesis. Our group has conducted extensive research on the single-electron transfer (SET) mechanism in photoredox catalysis, aiming to develop more ...
A highly effective nickel-catalyzed process enables the direct reductive cross-coupling of equimolar quantities of alkyl and aryl halides in the presence of manganese, demonstrating excellent yield, functional group compatibility, and operational simplicity. This transformation bypasses the ...
An anionic iridium complex, [Cp*Ir(2,2'-bpyO)(OH)][Na], serves as a versatile and highly effective catalyst for the transfer hydrogenation of ketones and imines using methanol as the hydrogen source under base-free conditions. The reaction demonstrates excellent tolerance to nitro, cyano, and ...
Dess-Martin periodinane (DMP) is a commercially available chemical that decomposes slowly. However, it is sensitive to heat and shock, and exhibits an exothermic reaction when heated above 130 °C.
