The Role of Water in Lanthanide-Catalyzed Carbon–Carbon Bond Formation

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: Luminescence-decay measurements in combination with high-performance liquid chromatography analyses were used to study the relationship between rates of catalysis and water-coordination numbers of europium-based precatalysts in the aqueous Mukaiyama aldol reaction. A correlation between reactivity and water-coordination number was observed and is reported here.
