Asymmetric oxidation of 2-(arylsulfenyl)pyrroles
The asymmetric oxidation of prochiral 2-(arylsulfenyl)pyrroles has been investigated. A marked electronic effect within the substrate significantly influenced the degree of enantioselectivity obtai...
Synthesis of heteroleptic pyrrolide/bipyridyl complexes of ruthenium(II)
The synthesis and characterization of the first heteroleptic pyrrolide/2,2'-bipyridyl complexes of ruthenium(II) are reported. Pyrroles substituted at the 2-position with X = O functionality react with Ru(bipy)2Cl2·2H2O to form complexes in which the pyrrolide ligands chelate to Ru(II). The library of pyrroles includes 2-formyl, 2-keto, 2-carboxylato, 2-sulfinyl, and 2-sulfonyl derivatives.
Catalytic asymmetric oxidation of sulfides using (salen)manganese(III) complex as a catalyst
Abstract Asymmetric oxidation of sulfides was examined by using (salen)manganese(III) complexes as catalysts and (8S,8′S,1″S,2″S)-complex
