Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction of vinyltri-methoxysilane with styrene was performed in the pres-ence anhydrous AlCl3. Alkoxy(4-vinylphenethyl)silane has been obtained. The synthesized products were identified by 1H, 13C, COSY NMR, and FTIR spectroscopy. Calculations using quantum-chemical non-empirical density functional theory (DFT) method for between vinyltrimethoxysilane ortho-, meta- pa...

The monohydrate of the title phenolic diacid (C8H6O5.H2O, 2-hydroxybenzene-1,3-dioic acid or 3-carboxysalicylic acid) adopts a planar conformation, with the phenol hydrogen internally hydrogen-bonded to the carbonyl of one highly ordered carboxyl, which, in turn, donates a hydrogen bond to the oxygen of water. The second carboxyl is disordered and hydrogen-bonded both to water and to the disord...

The strain Pseudomonas sp. strain ADP is able to degrade atrazine as a sole nitrogen source and therefore needs a single source for both carbon and energy for growth. In addition to the typical C source for Pseudomonas, Na(2)-succinate, the strain can also grow with phenol as a carbon source. Phenol is oxidized to catechol by a multicomponent phenol hydroxylase. Catechol is degraded via the ort...

New carboranyl thioethers 1-MeO(CH2)nS-1,2-C2B10H11 (n = 2, 3) were prepared by the alkylation of trimethylammonium salt 1-mercapto-ortho-carborane with 1-bromo- 2-methoxyethane and 1-bromo-3-methoxypropane, respectively. Their deboronation cesium fluoride in ethanol gave corresponding nido-carboranes Cs[7-MeO(CH2)nS-7,8-C2B9H11] 3). The reactions Cs[7-MeO(CH2)2S-7,8-C2B9H11] various nickel(II)...
