The title compound, C(25)H(19)N(3), is composed of an aryl-substituted pyrazole ring connected to an aryl-substituted isoquinoline ring system with a dihedral angle of 52.7 (1)° between the pyrazole ring and the isoquinoline ring system. The dihedral angle between the pyrazole ring and the phenyl ring attached to it is 27.4 (1)° and the dihedral angle between the isoquinoline ring system and th...

We report the synthesis of a solution-processable, dodecyloxyphenyl-substituted azafullerene monoadduct (DPC59N) and its application as electron acceptor in bulk heterojunction organic solar cells (BHJ-OSCs). Due to its relatively strong absorption of visible light, DPC59N outperforms PC60BM in respect to short circuit current (JSC) and external quantum efficiency (EQE) in blends with donor P3HT.

Eighteen hosts were inoculated with each of four races of Heterodera glycines. A discriminant function analysis of the reactions of these races to these hosts demonstrated that these races could be separated but not consistently. Then 33 H. glycines populations collected from 13 states and five obtained from Japan were tested on differential hosts. The number of variants discriminated within th...

Discribed in this article is a versatile and practical method for the synthesis of C3-perfluoroalkyl-substituted phthalides in a one-pot manner. Upon treatment of KF or triethylamine, 2-cyanobenzaldehyde reacted with (perfluoroalkyl)trimethylsilanes via nucleophilic addition and subsequent intramolecular cyclization to give perfluoroalkylphthalides in good yields.

A number of 4-aryl- and 4-alkynyl-substituted 6H-1,2-oxazines 8 and 9 have been prepared in good yields via cross coupling reactions of halogenated precursors 2, which in turn are easily accessible by bromination of 6H-1,2-oxazines 1. Lewis-acid promoted reaction of 1,2-oxazine 9c with 1-hexyne provided alkynyl-substituted pyridine derivative 12 thus demonstrating the potential of this approach...

Aryl-substituted allylic chlorides are accommodated by a self-assembled cage in such a restricted orientation that the internal reaction sites are shielded while the external ones are exposed. This non-covalent protection enhances terminal regioselectivity in the allylic substitution.

Grignard reagents (RMgBr: R = Et, p-tolyl) selectively attacked the β-position of the bridgehead double bond of tosylazafulleroid through interaction of Mg with the S[double bond, length as m-dash]O group. The following [5,6] ring closure and C-N bond scission led to aryl/alkyl aminylfullerenes with 1,2-configuration. Tolyl-substituted aminylfullerene was further converted into 1,4-di(p-tolyl)f...

BACKGROUND Recent efforts in the field of mesoscale effects on the structure and properties of thin polymer films call to revival interest in conformational structure and defects of a polymer backbone which has a crucial influence on electronic properties of the material. Oligo[methyl(phenyl)silylene]s (OMPSi) as exemplary molecules were studied theoretically by DFT in the form of optimal decam...

Facile synthesis of coumarin via the tandem reaction of salicylaldehyde with aryl-substituted 1,1-dibromo-1-alkene was developed. This new protocol proceeds smoothly under mild and transition-metal-free conditions, it allows rapid access to coumarins containing various heteroatoms that are more difficult to prepare by traditional methods. Based on the isolated intermediate of 4-(diethylamino)-3...
