Bis[N′-(3-cyanobenzylidene)isonicotinohydrazide]silver(I) trifluoroacetate

Atomic-scale surface demixing in a eutectic liquid BiSn alloy.

Resonant x-ray reflectivity of the surface of the liquid phase of the Bi(43)Sn(57) eutectic alloy reveals atomic-scale demixing extending over three near-surface atomic layers. Because of the absence of an underlying atomic lattice which typically defines adsorption in crystalline alloys, studies of adsorption in liquid alloys provide unique insight on interatomic interactions at the surface.

Ammonium Trifluoroacetate-Mediated Synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones

A simple and economic synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones using ammonium trifluoroacetate as catalyst and as solid support is accomplished. Easy workup procedure for the synthesis of title compounds is well arrived at and is well documented.

Direct acetoxylation and etherification of anilides using phenyliodine bis(trifluoroacetate).

Treatment of various anilides with 1.5 equiv. of phenyliodine bis(trifluoroacetate) (PIFA) and 1.0 equiv. of BF(3)·OEt(2) in AcOH at room temperature afforded the corresponding para-acetoxylated products with high regioselectivity. In addition, this reaction could be expanded to the etherification of anilides. In the presence of 2.0 equiv. of PIFA and 2.0 equiv. of BF(3)·OEt(2), the reaction of...

Oxidative aromatization of olefins with dioxygen catalyzed by palladium trifluoroacetate.

Molecular oxygen can replace sacrificial olefins as the hydrogen acceptor in the palladium trifluoroacetate catalyzed dehydrogenation of cyclohexene and related cyclic olefins into aromatics. One of the major drawbacks of the homogeneous system is the tendency of the palladium trifluoroacetate to precipitate as palladium(0) at elevated temperatures. The use of better ligands affords catalysts t...
