Addition of Carbon–Fluorine Bonds to a Mg(I)–Mg(I) Bond: An Equivalent of Grignard Formation in Solution

Addition of the carbon-fluorine bond of a series of perfluorinated and polyfluorinated arenes across the Mg-Mg bond of a simple coordination complex proceeds rapidly in solution. The reaction results in the formation of a new carbon-magnesium bond and a new fluorine-magnesium bond and is analogous to Grignard formation in homogeneous solution.

Dynamic 1H NMR Study Around the Carbon–Carbon Double Bonds and Carbon–Carbon Single Bonds in a Particular Phosphorous Ylide and 2,5-Dihydro-5,5-Diaryl-2-Thio-1H-Imidazoles

Stable crystalline phosphorus ylides are obtained in excellent yields from the 1:1:1 addition reactionbetween hydantoins or thiohydantoins and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in the presence oftriphenylphosphine. These phosphoranes undergo smooth intramolecular Wittig reaction followedby an electrocyclic ring opening to produce dialkyl (E)-2-(2,5-dihydro-5,5-diaryl-2-thioxo-1H-imidazol-4-yl)fum...

Hydrodefluorination of perfluoroalkyl groups using silylium-carborane catalysts.

Carbon-fluorine bonds are among the most unreactive functionalities in chemistry. Interest in their activation arises in part from the high global warming potentials of anthropogenic polyfluoroorganic compounds. Conversion to carbon-hydrogen bonds (hydrodefluorination) is the simplest modification of carbon-fluorine bonds, but efficient catalytic hydrodefluorination of perfluoroalkyl groups has...

Effects of carbon nanotubes on properties of the fluorouracil anticancer drug: DFT studies of a CNT-fluorouracil compound

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to investigate the effects of a carbon nanotube (CNT) on the properties of the fluorouracil (F-Uracil) anticancer drug. To achieve the purpose, a molecular model including both of F-Uracil and CNT molecules was created to represent the CNT@F-Uracil compound. The optimized parameters indicated that the new compound could show new proper...
