    Nickel-catalyzed carbonylative synthesis of dihydrobenzofurans
    (Amsterdam : Elsevier, 2021) Geng, H.-Q.; Wang, W.; Wu, X.-F.
    A nickel-catalyzed carbonylative synthesis of dihydrobenzofurans has been developed. With Mo(CO)6 as the CO source and manganese metal as the reductant, alkyl halides were reacted with aryl iodides to give the desired products in moderate to good yields. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.

    A general strategy for the synthesis of α-trifluoromethyl- and α-perfluoroalkyl-β-lactams via palladium-catalyzed carbonylation
    (Cambridge : RSC, 2021) Li, Yang; Zhang, Cai-Lin; Huang, Wei-Heng; Sun, Ning; Hao, Meng; Neumann, Helfried; Beller, Matthias
    β-Lactam compounds play a key role in medicinal chemistry, specifically as the most important class of antibiotics. Here, we report a novel one-step approach for the synthesis of α-(trifluoromethyl)-β-lactams and related products from fluorinated olefins, anilines and CO. Utilization of an advanced palladium catalyst system with the Ruphos ligand allows for selective cycloaminocarbonylations to give diverse fluorinated β-lactams in high yields. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2021.

    Palladium-Catalyzed Alkoxycarbonylation of sec-Benzylic Ethers
    (Weinheim : Wiley-VCH Verl., 2020) Schneider, Carolin; Jackstell, Ralf; Maes, Bert U.W.; Beller, Matthias
    Herein, we report the palladium-catalyzed synthesis of 3-arylpropionate esters starting from secondary benzylic ethers. With this investigation it could be shown that ethers are suitable starting materials in addition to the established carbonylation reactions of olefins, alcohols, or aryl halides. © 2020 The Authors.

    Efficient Synthesis of Novel Plasticizers by Direct Palladium-Catalyzed Di- or Multi-carbonylations
    (Weinheim : Wiley-VCH, 2022) Hu, Yuya; Sang, Rui; Vroemans, Robby; Mollaert, Guillaume; Razzaq, Rauf; Neumann, Helfried; Junge, Henrik; Franke, Robert; Jackstell, Ralf; Maes, Bert U. W.; Beller, Matthias
    Diesters are of fundamental importance in the chemical industry and are used for many applications, e.g. as plasticizers, surfactants, emulsifiers, and lubricants. Herein, we present a straightforward and efficient method for the selective synthesis of diesters via palladium-catalyzed direct carbonylation of di- or polyols with readily available alkenes. Key-to-success is the use of a specific palladium catalyst with the “built-in-base” ligand L16 providing esterification of all alcohols and a high n/iso ratio. The synthesized diesters were evaluated as potential plasticizers in PVC films by measuring the glass transition temperature (Tg) via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
