The substitution of primary or secondary alcohols with nucleophiles mediated by a redox
combination of a trialkylor triarylphosphine and a dialkyl azodicarboxylate is popularly …

Recent progress in synthetic approaches to the Mitsunobu reaction are reviewed. Efforts that
have focused on the phase‐switching modifications of phosphane, azodicarboxylate, and …

The thermomorphic fluorous phosphines P ((CH2) m (CF2) 7CF3) 3 (m= 2, 1a; m= 3, 1b)
exhibit ca. 600-fold solubility increases in n-octane between− 20 (1a= 0.104 mM) and 80° C …

The sizes and structures of fluorous molecules are analyzed, particularly with respect to the
helical conformations of perfluoroalkyl segments and their phase separation in crystal …

Abstract Fluorous Biphasic Catalysis (FBC) has been a more than a two decades old
concept, that constituted a paradigm shift in bi and triphasic homogeneous catalysis …

This study shows that phosphorus sources can be recycled using the appropriate fluorous
phosphine in the Wittig reaction. The designed fluorous phosphine, which has an ethylene …

The synthesis of a number of potential fluorous surfactants, prepared with a view to
stabilising microdroplets in microfluidic systems is described. The surfactants comprised …

Imidazole substituted with a polyfluoropolyether chain based on HFPO trimer combined with
various polyfluoroalkyl triflates produced novel highly fluorous ionic liquids. Their metathesis …

In spite of its low nucleophilicity, hexafluoro‐2‐propanol easily adds to vinyl ethers, without
catalyst, to afford a range of hexafluoroisopropyloxy acetals. This addition reaction also …

(Nonafluoro-tert-butyloxy) ethyl tosylate 4 was prepared in 65% yield from nonafluoro-tert-
butanol 1 using commercially available reagents. Further reaction of 4 with HNR1R2 (R1 …
