Ruthenium-catalyzed synthesis of vinylamides at low acetylene pressures

July 15, 2020

Chemical Communications Journal

The reaction of cyclic amides with acetylene under low pressure, using ruthenium-phosphine catalysts, afforded a broad variety of N-vinylated amides including (azabicyclic) lactams, oxazolidinones, benzoisoxazolones, isoindolinones, quinoxalinones, oxazinanones, cyclic urea derivatives (imidazolidinones), nucleobases (thymine), amino acid anhydrides and thiazolidinone.

Properties and Applications of Hydrogen-Bond Rich Iridium (III) Complexes

Iridium (III) complexes are used for a wide variety of applications owing to their thermal stability, tuneable electronic properties and strong photoluminescent character. Iridium (III) complexes can be structurally altered to change the wavelengths of light they absorb and emit making them desirable for organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and photocatalysis.
