Journal Article
Inman, M., & Moody, C. J. (2013). Copper(II)-mediated synthesis of indolequinones from bromoquinones and enamines. European Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2013(11), https://doi.org/10.1002/ejoc.201201597

The reaction of enamines and bromoquinones in the presence of copper(II) acetate and potassium carbonate results in a regiospecific synthesis of indolequinones. The reaction is broad in scope and scalable and provides a route to the core structure th... Read More about Copper(II)-mediated synthesis of indolequinones from bromoquinones and enamines.

Trifluoromethylation of Allylsilanes under Photoredox Catalysis (2013)
Journal Article
Mizuta, S., Engle, K. M., Verhoog, S., Galicia-López, O., O’Duill, M., Médebielle, M., …Gouverneur, V. (2013). Trifluoromethylation of Allylsilanes under Photoredox Catalysis. Organic Letters, 15(6), 1250–1253. https://doi.org/10.1021/ol400184t

A new catalytic method to access allylic secondary CF3 products is described. These reactions use the visible light excited Ru(bpy)3Cl2·6H2O catalyst and the Togni or Umemoto reagent as the CF3 source. The photoredox catalytic manifold delivers enant...

A catalytic and tert-butoxide ion-mediated amidation of aldehydes with para-nitro azides (2013)
Journal Article
Carbone, G., Burnley, J., & Moses, J. E. (2013). A catalytic and tert-butoxide ion-mediated amidation of aldehydes with para-nitro azides. Chemical Communications, 49(27), https://doi.org/10.1039/c3cc40452h

We report here a new catalytic reaction in which, p-nitro azides are acylated by aldehydes to produce amides and molecular nitrogen in a single step. The transformation is believed to proceed via an electron transfer process mediated by the tert-buto...
