N− O σ bonds containing compounds are versatile substrates for organic synthesis under
transition metal catalysis. Their ability to react through both polar (oxidative addition …

Oxaziridines and diaziridines have been used as versatile intermediates due to their high
ring strain as well as the reactive C− O/N bond, for the synthesis of diverse range of nitrogen …

Metal‐ligand cooperation has emerged as a versatile tool for substrate activation in
chemical reactivity. Herein, we provide the synthesis and characterization of a monoboranyl …

The electronic nature of Ni π‐complexes is underexplored even though these complexes
have been widely postulated as intermediates in organometallic chemistry. Herein, the …

The complexes (Cy2PC3H6PCy2) Ni (η2-arene)(arene= toluene (3), naphthalene (4)) have
been synthesized and studied in detail. Displacement reactions of the toluene ligand afford …

For the first time, the photochemical behavior of aryl-substituted 2, 3-dihydropyrazine 1, 4-
dioxides was investigated. A common feature of all observed photoprocesses is the …

An (N-heterocyclic carbene) nickel (I) hexamethyldisilazide deprotonates neopentanol
(NpOH) to form the corresponding nickel (I) neopentoxide, which crystallizes as an alkoxide …

The details of ligand-induced backbonding in nickel diphosphine π complexes are explored
using nickel L-edge (3d← 2p) X-ray absorption spectroscopy as a means of quantifying the …

The oxygen atom transfer reactions of 2-pyridyl-Nt-butyloxaziridine, pyox, with the
dimethylplatinum (II) complex [Pt 2 Me 4 (μ-SMe 2) 2], 1, have been studied. In the presence …

This chapter summarizes the key highlights from the chemical literature of epoxides,
aziridines and 2H-azirines for the year 2017. Other three-membered heterocycles, such as …
