Embedded Learning Day 2

The Cortex-M3 processor features general-purpose registers R0-R15 along with several special function registers. Registers R0-R12 are 32-bit general-purpose registers used for data operations. However, most 16-bit Thumb instructions can only use R0-R7 (the low register group), while 32-bit Thumb-2 instructions can access all general-purpose registers. The special function registers have predefined functions and must be … Read more

C-N Coupling of Brominated Heteroaromatic Compounds Catalyzed by Ni

[OL]Ni Catalyzed C-N Coupling of Brominated Heteroaromatic Compounds Introduction Constructing C-N bonds is generally more challenging than constructing C-C bonds. After all, the Buchwald-Hartwig coupling is not effective for all substrates, especially for certain heterocycles and substrates containing active hydrogens, which can easily complex with the catalyst and lead to no reaction. In contrast, usingSuzuki … Read more
