Achiral or chiral phosphines are widely used in two main domains: ligands in organometallic
catalysis and organocatalysis. For this reason, the obtention of optically pure phosphine has …

Phosphines are an important class of ligands in the field of metal-catalysis. This has spurred
the development of new routes toward functionalized phosphines. Some of the most …

Unprecedented chemoselective reductions of phosphine oxides to phosphines proceed
smoothly in the presence of catalytic amounts of specific Brønsted acids. By utilizing …

The coexistence of a strong Lewis acid and a Lewis base in solution, the so called frustrated
Lewis pair, has led to the discovery of metal-free hydrogen activation. Since then, this …

The chemistry of tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS) is largely composed of the reduction of
functional groups with increasing applications for carbon–carbon bond formation. This …

CO2 as feedstock: An air-and moisture-stable iridium (III) catalyst effectively promotes the
hydrosilylation of CO2. This reaction leads to silyl formate in a highly selective manner and …

Novel catalytic reductions of tertiary and secondary phosphine oxides to phosphines have
been developed. Using tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS) as a mild reducing agent in the …

Axially chiral five-membered heterobiaryls synthesized by enantioselective catalysis
typically feature large ortho-substituents or a heteroatom in the chiral axis to maintain a …

A variety of phosphine oxides and sulfides can be efficiently converted directly to the
corresponding phosphine boranes using oxalyl chloride followed by sodium borohydride …

Redox‐Katalyse: Arylamide, Imide, Lactame und Dipeptide werden durch eine direkte
Staudinger‐Ligation, die über eine Phosphin‐basierte Redoxkatalyse verläuft, hergestellt …
