Chain walking of allylrhodium species towards esters during rhodium-catalyzed nucleophilic allylations of imines (2015)
Journal Article
Martínez, J. I., Smith, J. S., Hepburn, H. B., & Lam, H. W. (2016). Chain walking of allylrhodium species towards esters during rhodium-catalyzed nucleophilic allylations of imines. Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 55(3), 1108-1112. https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.201508964

Allylrhodium species derived from ?-trifluoroboryl ?,?-unsaturated esters undergo chain walking towards the ester moiety.The resulting allylrhodium species react with imines to give products containing two new stereocenters and a Z-alkene. By using a... Read More about Chain walking of allylrhodium species towards esters during rhodium-catalyzed nucleophilic allylations of imines.

Chiral cyclopentadienyl rhodium complexes promote highly enantioselective enol?directed C(sp2)?H functionalization and oxidative annulation with alkynes to give spiroindenes containing all?carbon quaternary stereocenters. High selectivity between two... Read More about Enantioselective Synthesis of Spiroindenes by Enol-Directed Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed C—H Functionalization and Spiroannulation.

Direct Synthesis of 5-Aryl Barbituric Acids by Rhodium(II)-Catalyzed Reactions of Arenes with Diazo Compounds (2015)
Journal Article
Best, D., Burns, D. J., & Lam, H. W. (2015). Direct Synthesis of 5-Aryl Barbituric Acids by Rhodium(II)-Catalyzed Reactions of Arenes with Diazo Compounds. Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 54(25), 7410-7413. https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.201502324

A commercially available rhodium(II) complex catalyzes the direct arylation of 5?diazobarbituric acids with arenes, allowing straightforward access to 5?aryl barbituric acids. Free N--H groups are tolerated on the barbituric acid, with no complicatio...
