Methyl‐tetrahydrofuran (2‐MeTHF) can be derived from renewable resources (eg, furfural or
levulinic acid) and is a promising alternative solvent in the search for environmentally …

Organolithium reagents were first prepared in 1917 by Schlenk 1a and developed in the
following three decades by major contributions from Ziegler (who first prepared n-BuLi and …

The element lithium has been discovered 200 years ago. Due to its unique properties it has
emerged to play a vital role in industry, esp. for energy storage, and lithium‐based products …

Multivalent rechargeable metal batteries offer a safer, more sustainable, and higher energy

Abstract For bioactive molecules, bicyclo [1.1. 1] pentanes (BCPs) are an emerging isostere
of rigid spacer groups that have shown potential to improve drug‐like qualities. As BCPs …

Organo-alkali metal reagents are essential tools in synthetic chemistry. Alkali metal
organometallics aggregate in solution and solid-state forming clusters and polymers. The …

The effects of Lewis basic phosphoramides on the aggregate structure of t-BuLi have been
investigated in detail by NMR and DFT methods. It was determined that …

The preparation, application, and reaction mechanism of sodium phosphide R2PNa and
other alkali metal phosphides R2PM (M= Li and K) have been studied. R2PNa could be …

Deprotonation of alkyl and vinyl carbon-hydrogen bonds for synthetic purposes is often
hindered not merely by the need for an exceptionally strong base, but by the inherent …

A straightforward Fe-catalyzed method for the synthesis of pyrrolo [1, 2-a] quinoxalines from
1-(2-aminophenyl) pyrroles and cyclic ethers, which includes functionalization of C (sp3)-H …
