The competition between C-C and C-H insertion in model transition-metal reactions with cyclopropane and propene (C3H6) was studied as a function of total energy. Insertion of neutral transition metal atoms M (= Y, Zr, Nb, and Mo*) into the C-C bonds of cyclopropane led to formation of MCH2 + C2H4, whereas C-H insertion produced MC3H4 + H2. The measured product branching ratios verify the relati...

The title compound, C(21)H(21)N(3)O(3), was synthesized by a multi-component 1,3-dipolar cyclo-addition of azomethine ylide, derived from isatin and proline by a deca-rboxylative route, and (E)-1-phenyl-2-nitro-propene. In the mol-ecule, the spiro junction links a planar oxindole ring and a pyrrolidine ring in an envelope conformation. The mol-ecular packing is stabilized by an inter-molecular ...

A feed forward neural network model is applied to forecast the saturation thermodynamic properties of propene. The method has been used to estimate thermodynamic properties including the heat capacity, Joule-Thomson coefficient, viscosity, thermal conductivity and surface tension. Conducted experimental investigations show applicability of the proposed approach. Comparing with other theoretical...

ABSTRACT. Propene was polymerized at 0 C with tBuNSiMe2C5Me4TiMe2/MAO. Kinetic features and other parameters indicated quasi-living polymerization. Effects of various trialkylaluminiums as additives have been investigated; it was found that compounds with more bulky groups like iBu3Al, Oct3Al increased the activities significantly whereas Me3Al and Et3Al reduced the activities of the catalyst s...

The synthesis of new nucleosides by alkenylation of 5-iodo-2’-halo-2’-deoxyuridines with E-(1-tributylstannyl)-propene-1-ol via STILLE-coupling is described. The new compounds are characterized by 1H NMR and elemental analysis. All nucleosides are evaluated by an enzymatic assay to be substrates of herpes simplex virus type 1 thymidine kinase (HSV-1 TK) and compared with uridine, thymidine and ...

In this study we have investigated computationally the origin of the cis-trans selectivity in the Ru-catalyzed cross metathesis (CM) of a prototype monosubstituted olefin, i.e., propene. Our calculations suggest that the origin of the preferential formation of trans-olefins is in the product release step, which prevents the initially formed cis-olefin from escaping the metal, and returns it to ...

Understanding the formation mechanisms of secondary air pollution is very important for formulation control countermeasures in China. Thus, a large-scale outdoor atmospheric simulation smog chamber was constructed at Chinese Research Academy Environmental Sciences (the CRAES Chamber), which designed simulating photochemical processes under conditions close to real environment. The consisted 56-...

The acid properties of mesostructured aluminosilicates synthesized from gels precursors of colloidal ZSM-5 zeolite have been studied by FTIR spectroscopy of basic probe molecules (ammonia, CO and propene). It is shown that these materials possess stronger acid sites with higher thermal stability than those of conventional Al-MCM-41. These results explain the enhaced m-xylene isomerization activ...
