A Structure-Activity Study of Nickel NNN Pincer Complexes for Alkyl-Alkyl Kumada and Suzuki-Miyaura Coupling Reactions

Rosario Scopelliti, Xile Hu, Marko Stojanovic, Thomas Clément Di Franco, Sébastien Carlos Keller

A new series of Ni NNN pincer complexes were synthesized and characterized. The main difference among these complexes is the substituents on the side arm amino group(s). No major structural difference was found except for the C-N-C angle of the various sub ...

Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of non-activated alkyl halides catalyzed by well-defined nickel pincer complexes

Thomas Clément Di Franco

Metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions are powerful and widespread methods for the carbon-carbon bond formation. Among the electrophile partners, non-activated alkyl halides remain challenging substrates because of their reluctance towards oxidative addi ...

Secondary (chemistry)

Secondary is a term used in organic chemistry to classify various types of compounds (e. g. alcohols, alkyl halides, amines) or reactive intermediates (e. g. alkyl radicals, carbocations). An atom is considered secondary if it has two 'R' Groups attached to it. An 'R' group is a carbon containing group such as a methyl (CH3 ). A secondary compound is most often classified on an alpha carbon (middle carbon) or a nitrogen. The word secondary comes from the root word 'second' which means two.

Tertiary (chemistry)

Tertiary is a term used in organic chemistry to classify various types of compounds (e. g. alcohols, alkyl halides, amines) or reactive intermediates (e. g. alkyl radicals, carbocations).
