- 74 into the stable derivatives 75 having a strong C–C bond through the nucleophilic substitution reaction with phenol and anisole in the presence of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH) with total stereoinversion. This suggests that the nucleophile attacks occur from the concave face of the π-bowl
- C–C bond (1.54 Å). Due to this, triazasumanene hold high strain energy, hence difficulty in its synthesis and also high reactivity of nitrogen present in it. To date, in most of the heterosumanene substitution has been reported at the benzylic positions except in the case of triazasumanene. In this

The NMR characterization of 2a–j showed that they are obtained as single isomers. The oxazolone exocyclic C=C bond has the

- enantioselectivity was reported by Hartwig et al. in 2016 [99]. The newly formed C–B bond reacted with a range of electrophiles to deliver products containing C–C, C–N, and C–X (X = Br, Cl) bonds (e.g., 349, 350). Efforts to explore the mechanism revealed a decrease in regioselectivity when the C=C bond is further
- through subsequent C–C bond formation (Scheme 72) [135]. The proposed mechanism involves the formation of L–Cu–O–t-Bu 458 which reacts with B2pin2 to generate L-Cu-Bpin 459. The subsequent coordination to the aldehyde results in the intermediate 461. Upon protonation of 461 the desired enantiomerically
- an appropriate electrophile led to C–C bond formation, ultimately delivering chiral tertiary alcohols. Mechanistic studies and DFT calculations showed that an in situ-formed borylcopper(I) species is responsible for the 1,2-addition (Scheme 73) [136]. C,O-Diboration of ketones 464 was explored using

- should induce a large value for dielectric anisotropy. Compounds 8 and 9 were found to exhibit the expected negative Δε values, however, the overall polarity is low (8 = −0.5, 9 = −0.2). This is presumably due to the ability of the C–C bond attached to cyclopropane to rotate, and thus the compound will
- conformational analysis of 11a (and 11b) was conducted computationally (ωB97X-D/6-311+G(2d,p)//ωB97X-D/6-31G(d) + ZPE level (see Supporting Information File 1)). There are many potential low energy conformations arising from alkyl side chain C–C bond rotations which would not be anticipated to change the overall
- properties significantly, however, we were interested in assessing the energy required for the bispirocyclohexane ring to adopt an axial rather than the lower energy equatorial arrangement. For 11a, the lowest energy conformer found was a rotamer around the central C–C bond linking the cyclohexane rings, but
