We will study Mo-alkylidyne N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed, alkyne metathesis-based macrocyclization and (Z) selective Rh NHC-catalyzed hydrosilylation and hydroamination reactions of alkynes, all under confinement. The overarching idea in the use of these entirely different catalytic reactions is to develop a unifying concept for confinement effects in catalytic reactions with both large and small substrates. Reactions will be run in continuous-flow microreactors. An instrumental platform with on-line separation and detection will be established to quantify conversion and selectivity under the respective reaction conditions and to determine reaction kinetics rapidly and reproducibly.
