Access to Unsupported Iminobismuthane and Tetraazabismole Species Enabled by a Rigid and Bulky Organobismuthinidene

ABSTRACT Herein, we report the reactivity of a monocoordinate bismuthinidene ( 1 ) with various organic azides. The reaction of 1 with p ‐toluenesulfonyl azide resulted in the formation of an unprecedented, unsupported iminobismuthane ( 2 ), which features the shortest reported B...

Intramolecular Nickel‐Catalyzed Reductive Coupling: Enantioselective Synthesis of Tetrahydroisoquinolines and Related Heterocycles

ABSTRACT The P ‐chiral phosphine AntPhos was found to be the ligand of choice for nickel‐catalyzed intramolecular reductive coupling reactions of 5‐amino substituted 2,4‐dienoates bearing a tethered aldehyde. This approach to heterocyclic compounds has little precedent in the lit...
