Reactions of Early-Metal-Alkoxo Complexes

Catalytic Reactions of Early-Metal-Alkoxo Complexes 

Proposed mechanism for the transfer of alkyl groups to aldehydes with group 4 metal-alkoxo complexes. 

In parallel with the catalytic reactivity of early-transition-metal-alkoxo complexes, the catalytic reactivity of lanthanide-alkoxo and -phenoxo complexes has been developed. The homogenous hydrogenation of a variety of arene substrates can be catalyzed by niobium 

Bifunctional Lewis acidic-Lewis basic alkoxo complex for asymmetric processes inciuding Strecker and nitroaidol reactions.
