A strain that efficiently degraded methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) was obtained by initial selection on the recalcitrant compound tert-butyl alcohol (TBA). This strain, a gram-positive methylotrophic bacterium identified as Mycobacterium austroafricanum IFP 2012, was also able to degrade tert-amyl methyl ether and tert-amyl alcohol. Ethyl tert-butyl ether was weakly degraded. tert-Butyl formate ...

Highly efficient method for the preparation of N-tert-butyl amides by reaction of nitriles with tertbutylacetateis described using boron trifluoride etherate in solvent free condition. Selective amidation ofbenzonitrile in the presence of acetonitrile was also achieved.

It is well known that small amount Piperazine (PZ) enhance the CO2 absorption properties of tertiary amine aqueous solution. Because the tert-amine has the lower heat of reaction, the blended amine solution, tert-amine with PZ, is attractive for low energy absorbent. There are some reports about the investigation of the mechanism of the blended amine solution, however, there still a difficulty ...

Five new iron(III) 1-hexene polymerisation catalysts were prepared from the reactions of 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-(2-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)ethylimino)methylphenol (L1), or 4-tert-butyl-6-(2-(1Himidazol-4-yl)ethylimino)methylphenol (L2) or 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-[(2-pyridin-2-yl-ethylimino)methyl-phenol (L3) with anhydrous iron(II) halides to form [FeCl2(L1)] (1), [FeBr2(L1)] (2), [FeI2(L1)] (3), [FeBr2(L2)...

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(16)H(23)N(3)O(6), is twisted about the chiral C atom with the dihedral angle formed between the amide residues being 76.9 (3)°. Overall, the mol-ecule is curved with the terminal organic groups lying to the same side. The conformation about the imine bond [1.291 (5) Å] is E and an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring. In the crystal, ...

In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(21)H(22)N(4)O(3), the pyrimidine ring is oriented at dihedral angles of 0.51 (3) and 50.76 (3)° to the pyridine and benzene rings, respectively. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into centrosymmetric dimers, forming R(2) (2)(24) ring motifs; the dimers are linked by inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds in...

In the title compound, C(18)H(21)ClN(2)O(4), the mol-ecular sytructure is stabilized by two intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by pairs of C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with graph-set motif R(2) (2)(10). N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds further link the dimers into C(10) chains along [010].

The structure of the title compound, C(26)H(29)NO(7), at 173 K has an inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond. This is one of the few examples where a mono-ketone penta-cyclo-undecane (PCU) mol-ecule exibits hydrogen bonding in the solid state. The dihedral angles of the amide and ester groups are normal and unaffected by the cage structure. A longer than normal C-C bond [1.571 (4) Å] was found wit...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(22)H(25)NO(4), inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the hy-droxy group of the 4-(amimometh-yl)phenol fragment and the C=O group connect the mol-ecules into infinite chains along the c axis. Two C atoms of the propyne group are disordered over two sites with occupancy factors of 0.53 (2) and 0.47 (2).
