• Au(III) complexes with tetradentate-cyclam-based ligands 

      Holta, Ann Christin Reiersølmoen; Solvi, Thomas Nordbø; Fiksdahl, Anne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Chiral cyclam (1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) derivatives were synthesized stepwise from chiral mono-Boc-1,2-diamines and (dialkyl)malonyl dichloride via open diamide-bis(N-Boc-amino) intermediates (65–91%). Deprotection ...

      Holta, Ann Christin Reiersølmoen; Csokas, Daniel; Øien-Ødegaard, Sigurd; Vanderkooy, Alan; Gupta, Arvind Kumar; Carlsson, Anna-Carin C.; Orthaber, Andreas; Fiksdahl, Anne; Pàpai, Imre; Erdélyi, Máté (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Gold catalysis has become one of the fastest growing fields in chemistry, providing new organic transformations and offering excellent chemoselectivities under mild reaction conditions. Methodological developments have ...
    • Symmetry of three-center, four-electron bonds 

      Holta, Ann Christin Reiersølmoen; Battaglia, Stefano; Øien-Ødegaard, Sigurd; Gupta, Arvind Kumar; Fiksdahl, Anne; Lindh, Roland; Erdélyi, Máté (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Three-center, four-electron bonds provide unusually strong interactions; however, their nature remains ununderstood. Investigations of the strength, symmetry and the covalent versus electrostatic character of three-center ...
    • Tunable Gold-catalyzed Reactions of Propargyl Alcohols and Aryl Nucleophiles 

      Jonsson, Helgi Freyr; Solvi, Thomas Nordbø; Lomeland, Sondre; Holta, Ann Christin Reiersølmoen; Fiksdahl, Anne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Gold-catalyzed transformations of 1,3-diarylpropargyl alcohols and various aryl nucleophiles were studied. Selective tunable synthetic methods were developed for 1,1,3-triarylallenes, diaryl-indenes and tetraaryl-allyl ...
