Published: August 2015

Bowl-shaped phosphine molecules, whose bowl geometry can be controlled by a variation of the axial substituent, were synthesized, and used as host molecules to encapsulate C60. Host molecules with relatively shallow bowls formed a chiral capsule, while hosts with deeper bowls formed an achiral pseudo-cage.

Enantioselective Pd -Catalyzed C(sp )-H Arylation for the Synthesis of Chiral Warped Molecules.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

Department of Chemistry, University of Basel, St. Johanns-Ring 19, 4056, Basel, Switzerland.

C-H activation-based ring-forming methods are a powerful approach for the construction of complex molecular architectures, especially those containing a congested stereocenter. Therefore, this strategy seems perfectly suited to address the synthesis of chiral polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and bowl-shaped molecules, which are important target molecules in the field of organic electronic materials. Herein, we describe an enantioselective Pd -catalyzed C(sp )-H arylation protocol for the synthesis of chiral fluoradenes and other warped molecules, which could serve to the bottom-up construction of chiral PAHs.

Copper-Catalyzed Transformations Using Cu-H, Cu-B, and Cu-Si as Active Catalyst Species.

This review summarizes transformations using copper hydride (Cu-H), boryl copper (Cu-B) or silyl copper (Cu-Si) as active catalyst species. Semihydrogenation, hydroboration, and hydrocarboxylation have been developed using Cu-H as active catalyst species. Preferential reduction of sterically hindered ketones is accompanied by Cu-H species bearing a bowl-shaped phosphine as a crucial ligand.
