To meet the requirements of potential applications, it is of great importance to explore new
catalysts for formic acid oxidation that have both ultra-high mass activity and CO resistance …

Conspectus Alkyl and alkenyl arenes are of substantial value in both large-scale and fine
chemical processes. Billions of pounds of alkyl and alkenyl arenes are produced annually …

Arene alkenylation is commonly achieved by late transition metal-mediated C (sp2)–C (sp2)
cross-coupling, but this strategy typically requires prefunctionalized substrates (eg, with …

We combine experimental and computational investigations to compare and understand
catalytic arene alkenylation using the Pd (II) and Rh (I) precursors Pd (OAc) 2 and [(η2 …

On a large scale, the dominant method to produce alkyl arenes has been arene alkylation
from arenes and olefins using acid-based catalysis. The addition of arene C–H bonds …

Fe (II) carboxylates react with dioxygen and carboxylic acid to form Fe6 (μ–OH) 2 (μ3–O) 2
(μ–X) 12 (HX) 2 (X= acetate or pivalate), which is an active oxidant for Rh-catalyzed arene …

Filling a gap in the literature, this book comprehensively reviews catalytic CH addition
reactions of (hetero) aromatic hydrocarbons across carbon-carbon multiple bonds. In so …

The Ir (I) complex [Ir (μ-Cl)(coe) 2] 2 (coe= cis-cyclooctene) is a catalyst precursor for
benzene alkenylation using Cu (II) carboxylate salts. Using [Ir (μ-Cl)(coe) 2] 2 …

Highly reactive catalysts for ortho-hydroarylations of alkynes have previously been reported
to result from activation of CoBr2 by Grignard reagents, but the operative mechanism and …

We report the oxidative conversion of unactivated arenes and alkenes to alkenyl arenes
using unpurified air or purified dioxygen as the only oxidant. This method uses RhCl3 salt as …
