In the title complex, [Zn(C(3)H(3)O(2))(C(27)H(27)N(7))](ClO(4))·C(3)H(7)NO·1.5CH(4)O, the Zn(II) ion is five-coordinated by four N atoms from a tris-(1-methyl-benzimidazol-2-ylmeth-yl)amine (Mentb) ligand and one O atom from an acrylate ligand in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry with approximate mol-ecular C(3) symmetry. The atoms of the acrylate ligand are disordered over two sites, ...

The efficiency and selectivity of hydrogen atom transfer from organic molecules are often difficult to control in the presence of multiple potential hydrogen atom donors and acceptors. Here, we describe the mechanistic evaluation of a mode of catalytic activation that accomplishes the highly selective photoredox α-alkylation/lactonization of alcohols with methyl acrylate via a hydrogen atom tra...

There are two independent mol-ecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C14H12ClNO3. The mean planes of the methyl ester unit (Cmeth-yl-O-C=O; r.m.s. deviation = 0.051 Å for mol-ecule A and 0.016 Å for mol-ecule B) and the chloro-quilonine ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.023 Å for mol-ecule A and 0.014 Å for mol-ecule B) form dihedral angles of 63.5 (1)° in mol-ecule A an...

The title compound, C(16)H(24)O(3), was isolated from the aerial part of Inula Viscosa- (L) Aiton [or Dittrichia Viscosa- (L) Greuter]. The mol-ecule contains two fused (trans) six-membered rings which both exibit a chair conformation. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into chains along [100] by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the methyl and carbonyl groups.

In the title complex, [Co(C(3)H(3)O(2))(C(27)H(27)N(7))]ClO(4)·C(3)H(7)NO·1.5CH(4)O, the Co(II) ion is five-coordinated by four N atoms from a tris-(1-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-ylmeth-yl)amine (mentb) ligand and one O atom from an acrylate ligand in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry with approximate mol-ecular C(3) symmetry. The atoms of the acrylate ligand are disordered over two sites,...

We have studied light-induced birefringence (LIB) and surface relief grating (SRG) formation in the series of methylacrylate polymers. The effect of material structure such as length of photochromic side chain, glass transition temperature and molecular structure of azo units on LIB and SRG are studied. The optical formation of self-induced SRG on films of these materials is also presented.

Ligand-free, efficient, palladium-catalyzed Mizoroki-Heck reaction between methyl α-fluoroacrylate and arene or hetarene iodides is reported for the first time. The reaction is stereospecific and provides fair to quantitative yields of fluoroalkenes. The Mizoroki-Heck reaction starting from more hindered and usually reluctant trisubstituted acrylate, to access tetrasubstituted fluoroalkenes, is...

The enantioselective syntheses of deoxydihydrokalafungin (5), cis-deoxydihydrokalafungin (6) and deoxykalafungin (7) are reported. The strategy was based on 4 key reactions: (1) CBS reduction of prochiral ketone 10 to introduce chirality at C-1, (2) radical allylation of quinone 9a, (3) cross-metathesis of dimethoxynaphthalene 13 with methyl acrylate, and (4) intramolecular oxa-Michael addition...

[Structure: see text] Palladium(II) catalyzes the oxidative coupling of allyl tosylamides with butyl vinyl ether and various styrene derivatives to produce 2,4-substituted pyrrolidine products at room temperature. Molecular oxygen together with a copper(II) cocatalyst mediates reoxidation of the palladium catalyst. The reactions with styrene substrates can be performed in an open flask with amb...
