Blog Article

The asymmetric Henry reaction of 2-acylpyridine N-oxide remains a challenge as N-oxides generally act as competitive catalyst inhibitors or displace activating ligands.A novel variable yield (up to 99%) asymmetric Henry reaction of 2-acypyridine N-oxides Picture Frames catalyzed by a Ni-aminophenol sulfonamide complex with good to excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99%) has been developed.Mechanistic studies suggest that the unique properties of Stoves Sterling 600DF Mini-Range - 444440989 - Stainless Steel 60cm WH the electron-pairs of N-oxides for complexation with Ni makes the unexpected mononuclear complex, rather than the previously reported dinuclear complex, the active species.
