Takai-Lombardo Reaction
General Characteristics In the Takai olefination, carbonyl compounds are olefinated using organotitanium reagents derived from gem-dihaloalkanes. Whereas most of other olefination reactions are ...
Lindlar Reduction
General Characteristics The palladium catalyst supported on calcium carbonate and partially deactivated (“poisoned”) with lead acetate and quinoline is called the Lindlar catalyst. Using the Lindlar ...
Julia-Lythgoe Olefination
General Characteristics The Julia-Lythgoe olefination involves the nucleophilic addition of lithiosulfones to carbonyl compounds, acylation, and reductive treatment of the resulting ...
