Two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have stimulated lots of interest because they are direct bandgap materials that have reasonably good mobility values. However, contact between most metals and semiconducting TMDCs like 2H phase WSe2 are highly resistive

A robust and scaleable route to chiral 1-isopropylamino-2-(diphenylphosphino)ethanes is described via the ring-opening of chiral, cyclic sulfamidates with potassium diphenylphosphide (KPPh(2)). The novel protocol offers a robust access to gram quantities of chiral amino phosphinoethanes in high yields. The Li-amides

[reaction: see text] The "Southern Hemisphere" intermediate 2, used by Masamune and co-workers for their asymmetric total synthesis of bryostatin 7 (1), has been synthesized from (E)-1,4-hexadiene (11) by a 24-step pathway that has a longest linear sequence of only

A system consisting of a chiral lithium amide and n-BuLi in tol-d(8) solution was investigated with (1)H and (13)C INEPT DOSY, (6)Li and (15)N NMR, and other 2D NMR techniques. A mixed 2:1 trimeric complex was identified as the major

A procedure for the coupling of aliphatic imines with allylic and allenic alkoxides is described. The success of these studies was enabled by a unique reactivity profile of Ti(IV) isopropoxide/n-BuLi compared to well-known Ti(IV) isopropoxide/RMgX systems.
