Coupling of Reformatsky Reagents with Aryl Chlorides Enabled by Ylide-Functionalized Phosphine Ligands

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: RESOLV members Prof. V. Gessner and Prof. L. Gooßen's demonstrates that the coupling of aryl chlorides with Reformatsky reagents is a desirable strategy for the construction of α-aryl esters by overcoming the limitations by the tailoring of ylide-functionalized phosphines to fit the requirements of Negishi couplings.

Solvation Effects on the Structure and Stability of Alkali Metal Carbenoids

Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.: RESOLV member Prof. V. Gessner reports the results of her investigations on how solvent selection affects the structure, stability, and breakdown of alkali metal carbenoids. This study examines the effects of solvent coordination and aggregation on carbenoid behavior and finds that toluene causes aggregation and quicker breakdown, whereas THF stabilizes lithium carbenoids as…
