Dehydrocoupling of dimethylamine-borane promoted by manganese(II) m-terphenyl complexes (2017)
Journal Article
Sharpe, H. R., Geer, A. M., Blundell, T. J., Hastings, F. R., Fay, M. W., Rance, G. A., Lewis, W., Blake, A. J., & Kays, D. L. (in press). Dehydrocoupling of dimethylamine-borane promoted by manganese(II) m-terphenyl complexes. Catalysis Science and Technology, 8(1), https://doi.org/10.1039/C7CY02086D

Two- and three-coordinate manganese m-terphenyl complexes are precatalysts for the dehydrogenation of dimethylamine-borane (Me2NH·BH3) affording one equivalent of molecular hydrogen and half an equivalent of [Me2N–BH2]2. Experimental studies into the... Read More about Dehydrocoupling of dimethylamine-borane promoted by manganese(II) m-terphenyl complexes.

Iron(II)-Catalyzed Hydrophosphination of Isocyanates (2017)
Journal Article
Sharpe, H. R., Geer, A. M., Lewis, W., Blake, A. J., & Kays, D. L. (2017). Iron(II)-Catalyzed Hydrophosphination of Isocyanates. Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 56(17), 4845-4848. https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.201701051

© 2017 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim The first transition metal catalyzed hydrophosphination of isocyanates is presented. The use of low-coordinate iron(II) precatalysts leads to an unprecedented catalytic double insertion of isocyanat... Read More about Iron(II)-Catalyzed Hydrophosphination of Isocyanates.

1,8-Bis(silylamido)naphthalene complexes of magnesium and zinc synthesised through alkane elimination reactions (2017)
Journal Article
Birchall, C., Bradley, M. A., Blake, A. J., Lewis, W., Moxey, G. J., & Kays, D. L. (2017). 1,8-Bis(silylamido)naphthalene complexes of magnesium and zinc synthesised through alkane elimination reactions. Dalton Transactions, 46(12), 4101-4110. https://doi.org/10.1039/c7dt00471k

© The Royal Society of Chemistry. The reactions between magnesium or zinc alkyls and 1,8-bis(triorganosilyl)diaminonaphthalenes afford the 1,8-bis(triorganosilyl)diamidonaphthalene complexes with elimination of alkanes. The reaction between 1,8-C10H6... Read More about 1,8-Bis(silylamido)naphthalene complexes of magnesium and zinc synthesised through alkane elimination reactions.
