The preparation of Lanthanon octa-coordinated mixed chelates with different types of ligands is uncommon. Thompson and Loraas [1] have shown the presence of octacoordinated mixed chelates in solution. Recently, Dutt and Sur [2] have actually isolated several mixed tetrakis compounds of La, Pr, Nd, and Sm with three acetylacetone (Acac) molecules, the other ligands being propionylacetone or benz...

Reaction of heteroaromatic o-aminonitrile with ethyl N-[bis(methylthio)methylene]amino acetate resulted in annelation of a thieno[3,2-e]imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidine moiety in a one step process. [1,2,4]Triazolo[4,3-c]thieno- [3,2-e]pyrimidine derivatives were prepared by initial treatment of o-aminonitrile with carbon disulfide, followed by methylation with methyl iodide and subsequent reaction wit...

A short total synthesis of (±)-garcinol and (±)-isogarcinol, two endo-type B PPAPs with reported activity against methiciline resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), is presented. The separation of framework-constructing from framework-decorating steps and the application of two highly regio- and stereoselective Pd-catalysed allylations, that is, the Pd-catalysed decarboxylative Tsuji-Trost all...

Thermal decompositions of the precursors for chemical solution deposition of 0.7 Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.3 PbTiO3 thin films were studied. The precursors were prepared from lead acetate or acetylacetone-modified lead acetate by diol-based route, and dried at 100 C. Thermal decompositions of the PT, PMN and PMN-PT precursors in air occur stepwise. Between room temperature and approximately 200 C the ...

A convenient and efficient methodology for the synthesis of densely substituted pyrrole-fused isocoumarins, which employs solid-supported silica sulfuric acid (SSA) as catalyst, has been developed. When the mixture of ninhydrin adducts of acetylacetone/ethyl acetoacetate and primary amines was heated on the solid surface of SSA under solvent-free conditions, the pyrrole-fused isocoumarins were ...

The reaction of 5-amino-3-(arylamino)-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamides 1a,b with acetylacetone 2 and arylidenemalononitriles 5a-c yielded the pyrazolo[1,5-a]-pyrimidine derivatives 4a,b and 7a-f respectively. On the other hand, Schiff bases 9a,b and 12a-j were obtained upon treatment of carboxamides 1a,b with isatin 8 and some selected aldehydes 11a-e. The newly synthesized compounds were characteriz...

The spectra ofthe diketone compounds biacetyl, acetylacetone, acetonylacetone, 1,2cyclohexanedione, and 1,4-cyclohexanedione have been investigated by the technique oflowenergy variable-angle electron energy-loss spectroscopy. With this method low-lying, spinforbidden transitions have been observed. The energy difference between the lowest spin-allowed and spin-forbidden n-+ 1r* excitations in ...
