Toupalas, Georgios published the artcileNon-innocent electrophiles unlock exogenous base-free coupling reactions, Application of 2-Methoxynaphthalene, the publication is Nature Catalysis (2022), 5(4), 324-331, database is CAplus.
Introduced a unifying strategy that eliminates the need for an exogenous base through the use of non-innocent electrophiles (NIE), which were equipped with a masked base that was released in a controlled fashion during the reaction. The universal applicability of this concept were demonstrated by turning multiple, traditionally base-dependent, catalytic reactions into exogenous base-free homogeneous processes. Furthermore, the advantageous features of NIEs were demonstrated in multiple applications, such as in a micromole-scale fluorescence-based assay. This led to the discovery of a Ni-catalyzed deoxygenation reaction of aryl carbamates using isopropanol as a benign reductant. In a broader context, this work provided a conceptual blueprint for the strategic utilization of NIEs in catalysis.
