Telomerization of Ethylene with α, α, α-Trichloro-ω-Iodoalkane

Operators on C(ω α ) which do not preserve C(ω α

Spectral and intramolecular charge transfer properties in terminal donor/acceptor-substituted all-trans-α,ω-diphenylpolyenes and α,ω-diphenylpolyynes.

The absorption spectra and intramolecular charge transfer (CT) properties of terminal donor/acceptor-substituted all-trans-α,ω-diphenylpolyenes (DPE) and α,ω-diphenylpolyynes (DPY) molecules with different conjugated bridge length and substitution modes were investigated by using quantum chemical calculations. We calculated the ground state structures and energy of two series of terminal donor/...

Reduction of 2,2,2-trichloro-1-arylethanones by RMgX: mechanistic investigation and the synthesis of substituted α,α-dichloroketones.

2,2,2-Trichloro-1-arylethanones undergo high yielding reductions to the corresponding 2,2-dichloro-1-arylethanones in the presence of RMgX. A single electron transfer mechanism for the reaction is proposed based on trapping experiments. Reaction of the intermediate enolates with a range of electrophiles is described, providing a convenient route to substituted α,α-dichloro-β-hydroxyketones and ...

α-((4-Cyanobenzoyl)oxy)-ω-methyl poly(ethylene glycol): a new stabilizer for silver nanoparticles

The article describes the synthesis and properties of α-((4-cyanobenzoyl)oxy)-ω-methyl poly(ethylene glycol), the first poly(ethylene glycol) stabilizer for metal nanoparticles that is based on a cyano rather than a thiol or thiolate anchor group. The silver particles used to evaluate the effectiveness of the new stabilizer typically have a bimodal size distribution with hydrodynamic diameters ...

Flavonoids from Salvia chloroleuca with α-Amylsae and α-Glucosidase Inhibitory Effect

It is believed that the inhibition of carbohydrate hydrolyzing enzymes including α-amylase and α-glucosidase is one of the therapeutic approaches to decrease the postprandial glucose level after a meal, especially in the people with type 2 diabetes. Medicinal plants and their extracts are one of the main sources to find new inhibitors to the enzymes. In our study four flavonoids, namely luteoli...
