J Am Chem Soc 133:9932-7. 2011..The quantum efficiency of the photocurrent generation by the mixed SAM is comparable to that of a single-component SAM, indicating that the individual diode molecules on ITO generate photocurrents independently with little cross talk... - Iron-catalyzed oxidative monoarylation of primary amines with organozinc reagentsYuki Nakamura
Department of Chemistry, School of Science, The University of Tokyo, 7 3 1 Hongo, Bunkyo ku, Tokyo 113 0033
Org Lett 13:5998-6001. 2011..Halogen groups such as F, Cl, Br, and I are tolerated well. The dichloride oxidant and heat are essential to achieve the C-N bond formation presumably from a catalytic iron intermediate species bearing aryl and amido groups... - Iron-catalyzed stereospecific activation of olefinic C-H bonds with Grignard reagent for synthesis of substituted olefinsLaurean Ilies
Department of Chemistry, School of Science, The University of Tokyo, 7 3 1 Hongo, Bunkyo ku, Tokyo 113 0033, Japan
J Am Chem Soc 133:7672-5. 2011..Several lines of evidence suggest that the reaction proceeds via iron-catalyzed olefinic C-H bond activation rather than an oxidative Mizoroki-Heck-type reaction... - Hydroxyphosphine Ligand for Nickel-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling through Nickel/Magnesium Bimetallic CooperationNaohiko Yoshikai

J Am Chem Soc 133:16997-7004. 2011..The study also illustrates the ability of the photoelectron yield spectroscopy technique to rapidly measure the work function of a SAM-covered substrate and the ionization potential value of a molecule on the surface... - Cobalt-catalyzed chemoselective insertion of alkene into the ortho C-H bond of benzamideLaurean Ilies
Department of Chemistry, School of Science, The University of Tokyo, Hongo, Tokyo 113 0033, Japan
J Am Chem Soc 133:5221-3. 2011..Notable features of this reaction include the structural variety of the alkene and the amide substrate and the tolerance of functional groups such as halide, olefin, ester, and amide groups... - Iron-Catalyzed Chemoselective ortho Arylation of Aryl Imines by Directed C--H Bond ActivationNaohiko Yoshikai
