Article Synopsis
- Understanding how organic molecules bond to surfaces is crucial for advancements in nanotechnology and surface science.
- This study uses a unique Y-shaped hydrocarbon to explore how specific molecular reactions occur with dangling bonds on a hydrogen-treated surface.
- Findings reveal that these reactions are highly selective and reversible, allowing for manipulation of molecular orientation and electronic properties, which could lead to innovative nanoscale circuits.
The first enantioselective sp-sp3 cross-coupling reaction between alkynyl organometals and racemic benzyl bromides is reported. The coupling is performed at room temperature by using NiBr2diglyme and (S)-(iPr)-Pybox as the catalytic system and trialkynylindium reagents as nucleophiles. The reaction is stereoconvergent, both enantiomers of the racemic benzyl bromide are converted into one enantiomer of the product, and stereospecific.
