General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for catalytic efficiency. Find details here.

Zirconocene dichloride serves as a catalyst, enabling efficient synthesis of pyrrole with high yields and simplifies the purification process economically.

Application

Used to promote greener amidations of carboxylic acids and amines in catalytic amounts. This technology avoids the requirement of preactivation of the carboxylic acid or use of coupling reagents.

Direct amide formation from unactivated carboxylic acids and amines
Useful in the synthesis of a wide range of early-transition-metal complexes and organometallic compounds.

A new regio- and stereoselective zirconocene-catalyzed reaction for the synthesis of medium-sized rings is described. The global reaction supposes a formal ring expansion of a cyclic enol ether to give a functionalized carbocycle.

The complete sequence of steps of a tentative catalytic cycle for intramolecular hydroamination/cyclisation (IHC) of 4,5-hexadien-1-ylamine (1) by a prototypical cationic [Cp(2)ZrCH(3)](+) zirconocene precatalyst (2) has been examined by employing a gradient-corrected DFT method. The predicted smooth overall reaction energy

Catalytic natures of organometallic catalysts are modulated by coordinating organic ligands with proper steric and electronic properties to metal centers. Carbon-based nanomaterials such as graphene nanoplatelets are used with and without N-doping and multiwalled carbon nanotube as a ligand for

A new family of hydroxytris(pentafluorophenyl)borate anions [B(C6F5)3OH](-) associated with organic and aprotic cations c+ (imidazolium, pyrrolidinium and phosphonium) has been prepared by a general one-pot synthesis that implies the chloride borate analogues [B(C6F5)3Cl](-)[c]+. The [c]+[B(C6F5)3OH](-) salts have been isolated and

The extension of the frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) concept to the transition series with cationic zirconocene-phosphinoaryloxide complexes is demonstrated. Such complexes mimic the reactivity of main group FLPs in reactions such as heterolytic hydrogen cleavage, CO(2) activation, olefin and alkyne
