Bismuth(V)-Mediated C–H Arylation of Phenols and Naphthols (2020)
Journal Article
Senior, A., & Ball, L. T. (2021). Bismuth(V)-Mediated C–H Arylation of Phenols and Naphthols. SYNLETT, 32(03), 235-240. https://doi.org/10.1055/s-0040-1706294

We recently reported a general and practical strategy for the Bi(V)-mediated C–H arylation of phenols and naphthols. Our telescoped protocol proceeds via transmetallation from readily available arylboronic acids to a stable Bi(III) precursor, oxidati...

Kinetic Analysis of Domino Catalysis: A Case Study on Gold-Catalyzed Arylation (2020)
Journal Article
Ball, L. T., Corrie, T., Cresswell, A., & Lloyd-Jones, G. C. (2020). Kinetic Analysis of Domino Catalysis: A Case Study on Gold-Catalyzed Arylation. ACS Catalysis, 10(18), 10420–10426. https://doi.org/10.1021/acscatal.0c03178

Domino catalysis is a well-explored route to increasing the efficiency of multistep reactions. However, the kinetic features required for efficient turnover of a process where "multiple transformations are effected by a single catalytic mechanism"hav...

Organobismuth Redox Manifolds: Versatile Tools for Synthesis (2020)
Journal Article
Ruffell, K., & Ball, L. T. (2020). Organobismuth Redox Manifolds: Versatile Tools for Synthesis. Trends in Chemistry, 2(10), 867-869. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trechm.2020.07.008

Bismuth’s ability to manoeuvre between oxidation states supports several distinct reaction manifolds. Recent advances in the design, synthesis and application of organobismuth reagents and catalysts illustrate the potential of these redox manifolds a...

Expanding Ligand Space: Preparation, Characterization, and Synthetic Applications of Air-Stable, Odorless Di-tert-alkylphosphine Surrogates (2020)
Journal Article
Barber, T., Argent, S. P., & Ball, L. T. (2020). Expanding Ligand Space: Preparation, Characterization, and Synthetic Applications of Air-Stable, Odorless Di-tert-alkylphosphine Surrogates. ACS Catalysis, 10, 5454-5461. https://doi.org/10.1021/acscatal.0c01414

The di-tert-alkylphosphino motif is common to many best-in-class ligands for late-transition-metal catalysis. However, the structural diversity of these privileged substructures is currently limited by the need to manipulate highly toxic, highly reac...

Polyurethanes and Polyallophanates via Sequence-Selective Copolymerization of Epoxides and Isocyanates (2020)
Journal Article
Jurrat, M., Pointer-Gleadhill, B. J., Ball, L. T., Chapman, A., & Adriaenssens, L. (2020). Polyurethanes and Polyallophanates via Sequence-Selective Copolymerization of Epoxides and Isocyanates. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 142(18), 8136-8141. https://doi.org/10.1021/jacs.0c03520

Aryl isocyanates are introduced as comonomers for ring-opening copolymerization (ROCOP) with epoxides. Informed by studies of reaction kinetics, we show that divergent sequence selectivity for AB- and ABB-type copolymers can be achieved with a single...

Given the important role played by 2-hydroxybiaryls in organic, medicinal and materials chemistry, concise methods for the synthesis of this common motif are extremely valuable. In seeking to extend
the synthetic chemists’ lexicon in this regard,... Read More about Modular bismacycles for the selective C–H arylation of phenols and naphthols.
