Titanium is the second most abundant transition metal and is already a key player in
important industrial processes (eg polyethylene). Titanium is an attractive metal to use for …

Low-valent early transition metals are often intrinsically highly reactive as a result of their
strong propensity toward oxidation to more stable high-valent states. Harnessing these …

Bridged tetracyclic nitrogen scaffolds are found in numerous biologically active molecules
and medicinally relevant structures. Traditional methods usually require tedious reaction …

This Short Review highlights various synthetic approaches to bridged azabicyclic ring
systems containing seven-membered carbocyclic rings. Such ring systems are common to a …

Carbohydrate‐based benzylidene acetals undergo reductive ring opening. 1‐β‐O‐Acyl
glucoside conjugates of phenylacetic acids have been synthesized, and their acyl migration …

Abstract Novel benzylation reagents BnR 2 MgLi were obtained by mixing
benzylmagnesium chloride (BnMgCl) and appropriate organolithium compounds (RLi). As …

Molecular complexity is, to a large extent, dependent on the linkage-and functionality-
complexity of the molecule's backbone. In many cases, the formation of relatively inert C–C …

Since the original report in 1996, 2 the transformations of N, N-dialkylcarboxamides with 1, 2-
dicarbanionic organometallics in situ generated from organomagnesium (Grignard) as well …

New methods for the preparation of 2-azabicyclo [3.1. 0] hexane compounds (2, 3-
methanopyrrolidines) have been developed over the past three decades. Once viewed as …

This thesis describes novel [2+ 2+ 2] homotrimerisation and heterotrimerisation reactions
and carboxylation of alkynes using CO2 using the nBuLi/Ti (OiPr) 4 system. This …
