Alumina-mediated π-activation of alkynes

V Akhmetov, M Feofanov, DI Sharapa… - Journal of the …, 2021 - ACS Publications
The ability to induce powerful atom-economic transformation of alkynes is the key feature of
carbophilic π-Lewis acids such as gold-and platinum-based catalysts. The unique catalytic …

π-Expanded and N-Doped Fluoranthenes

F Spruner von Mertz, J Polkaehn… - The Journal of …, 2025 - ACS Publications
Novel π-expanded and N-doped fluoranthenes were synthesized and thoroughly
investigated. These eight unsubstituted compounds are obtained in a multistep synthesis …

Acenaphthenoannulation Induced by the Dual Lewis Acidity of Alumina

V Akhmetov, M Feofanov… - … A European Journal, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
We have discovered a dual (ie, soft and hard) Lewis acidity of alumina that enables rapid
one‐pot π‐extension through the activation of terminal alkynes followed by C− F activation …

Harnessing vinyl cations in nucleophilic substitutions and Lewis acidity enhancement of aluminum (III) salts in catalyzed cyclizations

Y Chen - 2022 - theses.hal.science
In this thesis, we investigated the various applications of different carbocation intermediates
in organic catalysis processes. In one part, we have devised an efficient lithium-catalyzed …
