Y Liu, Z Zhu, Y Zhang, Y Zhang, S Liu, X Shen - Organic Letters, 2024 - ACS Publications
Acylsilanes are emerging bench-stable reagents for the generation of electron-rich
oxycarbenes that are difficult to access with unstable diazo compounds. Herein, we report a …

Borane-Catalyzed Coupling of Diazooxindoles and Difluoroenoxysilanes to Tetrasubstituted Monofluoroalkenes

C He, G Zhou, G Yang, F Wang, C Lu, J Nie… - Organic Letters, 2024 - ACS Publications
A highly stereoselective coupling reaction of diazooxindoles with difluoroenoxysilanes
