Reactions of 2-X-2-(Y-phenyl)-l,3-indandiones (X = C1, Br; Y = H, p-N02, /?-CH30, m-CH30) with anions of acetylacetone, ethyl malonate nitromethane, and 2-nitropropane were carried out. It was found that the starting indandione was converted during the reaction into the anion of 2-(Y-phenyl)-l,3-indandione (/) and bis-2-(Y-phenyl)-l,3-indandione (II). The ratio of the products / and II was depe...

A novel C1-symmetric dinitrogen ligand was synthesized in high yield from commercially available (1R,2R,3R,5S)-(-)-isopinocampheylamine and 1-methyl-2-imidazolecarboxaldehyde. In combination with Cu(OAc)2H2O, this new ligand promote the reaction between nitromethane and aliphatic aldehydes with high yields (up to 97%) and moderate enantioselectivities (up to 67% ee). The reactions with benzalde...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this research was to develop a determination method for nitromethane (NM) in workplace air for risk assessment. METHODS A suitable sampler and appropriate desorption condition were selected by a recovery test in which a spiked sampler was used. The characteristics of the proposed method, such as recovery, detection limit, and reproducibility, and the storage stabilit...
