Reactivity of Alkali Metal Yldiides Toward Carbon Disulfide

The use of carbon disulfide as CS source for the construction of sulfur-containing molecules is an attractive strategy in organic synthesis. Herein, we report the formation of CS2 adducts with α-metalated ylides. The resulting alkali metal salts are readily isolable and were char...

Predicting the Reactivity of Acyclic Silylenes and Germylenes in Hydrogen Activation Using Machine Learning

ABSTRACT Heavier carbenes can mimic transition metals in activating small molecules and strong bonds. Incorporating this ability into catalytic cycles demands careful, experimentally challenging tuning of their molecular properties via substituent variation. This study employs co...
