The formation of isocyanurate via cyclotrimerization of isocyanates is widely reported to
provide a variety of polyurethane materials with improved chemical and physical properties …

To date, chemistry has provided more than a hundred million new compounds, most of
which are non-natural species that have never existed before and are a source of an …

Geminal frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) are expected to exhibit increased reactivity when the
donor and acceptor sites are perfectly aligned. This is shown for reactions of the …

We show that the 2-phosphaethynolate anion, OCP−, is a simple and efficient catalyst for the
cyclotrimerization of isocyanates. This process proceeds step-wise and involves five …

The geminal frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) tBu2PCH2BPh2 (1) reacts with phenyl‐, mesityl‐,
and tert‐butyl azide affording, respectively, six, five, and four‐membered rings as isolable …

Main-group metals are inherently labile, hindering their use in catalysis. We exploit this
lability in the synthesis of isocyanurates. For the first time we report a highly active catalyst …

Cyclotrimerisation of isocyanates catalysed by low-coordinate Mn( ii ) and Fe( ii ) m -terphenyl
complexes - Chemical Communications (RSC Publishing) DOI:10.1039/C6CC07243G Royal …

To render biorefineries economically viable, it is important to maximize the value of all of the
processed lignocellulosic biomass. However, the hemicellulose fraction is often overlooked …

The twofold electrochemical amination reaction of polycyclic arenes, such as naphthalene
(4), via Zincke intermediates is demonstrated for the first time. The installation of nitrogen …

Solvent-free hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI)-based polyisocyanates were prepared by
cyclotrimerization of HDI monomer using tri-n-butylphosphine (TBP) as a catalyst, and …
