Reactions and polymerizations at the interface of two immiscible liquids are reviewed. The
confinement of two reactants at the interface to form a new product can be advantageous in …

This article reviews recent approaches toward the synthesis of exo-olefin terminated
polyisobutylene (PIB) or so-called highly reactive PIB (HR PIB). The advantages and …

The unique geometry of screw extruders allows handling very viscous media; thus, they can
be used as continuous reactors to conduct polymerization reactions without using any …

The efficient intermolecular reaction of gold carbene intermediates, generated via gold-
catalyzed alkyne oxidation, with indoles and anilines has been realized in aqueous media …

A metal-free initiating system for the living cationic polymerization of alkyl vinyl ethers (VEs)
and styrene derivatives was developed using diaryliodonium salts as an organic Lewis acid …

We report here an efficient and mild method for constructing C–S bonds. The reactions were
carried out with Na2S2O3 as a sulfurating reagent, CuSO4 as a catalyst, and water as …

Aqueous cationic polymerization of β-myrcene, a naturally occurring monomer, was
performed for the first time using a water-dispersible Lewis acid surfactant combined catalyst …

In this article, the current state and future perspectives in the application of complexes of
Lewis acids with ethers in the synthesis of highly reactive polyisobutylene (HR PIB) were …

This review highlights recent approaches toward polyisobutylene (PIB) by an energy
efficient room temperature cationic polymerization. Special focus is laid on our own work …

Stepwise oxidation of 1, 8-bis (diphenylphosphino) naphthalene and a series of (oligo)
methylene-linked diphosphines with XeF2 followed by fluoride abstraction yields a family of …
