Latest paper from @SlaughterLab @UNTChemistry: Taking acyclic diaminocarbene ligands to new extremes of bulkiness, with interesting results in gold catalysis! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…
Highly encumbered acyclic diaminocarbene ligands flip the selectivity in a regiodivergent gold-catalyzed reaction to the normally disfavored product. See the @Orgmet_ACS article from @SlaughterLab @UNTChemistry.
Check out the preprint of our manuscript on highly encumbered acyclic diaminocarbene ligands in regiodivergent gold catalysis, recently submitted for publication: doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv.13…
