Various ethyl 1-arylcarbonyl-3-[(un)substituted methylthio]thieno[3,4-b]indolizine-9-carboxylates were synthesized in good yields by a novel methodology in which the S-alkylation of 5-arylcarbonyl-4-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-3-(1-pyridinio)thiophene-2-thiolates with alkyl or benzyl halides, the 1,5-dipolar cyclization of the resulting pyridinium salts in the presence of a base, and the aromatization...

silica chloride converted benzyl or tert-butyl esters to the corresponding acid chlorides and alkyl chlorides. it also converted benzyl or tert-butyl phenyl ethers to the corresponding allcyl chlorides and phenol

Copper(I) halides are employed as ‘phosphine sponges’ to sequester phosphor-ylides when using phosphine-based Grubb’s metathesis catalysis in polar protic solvents and under heat. These cuprous halides are hypothesized to significantly slow the formation of the ruthenium hydride olefin isomerization catalyst. We demonstrate their use in both cross metathesis and ring-closing metathesis.

An efficient method for the construction of fused yne-substituted aryl halides by reaction of unactivated linear tetraynes with allyl halides via domino C-C coupling and formation of C-X bonds in the presence of Pd(OAc)2/PPh3 was developed.

The various biological activities namely anthelmintic, antiarthropodal, antiviral, antimicrobial, herbicidal, antisarcoptic, acaricidal, insecticidal and miticidal activities exhibited by the hydrazonoyl halides are surveyed. Also, the uses of such halides as pesticides, weed controlling and antihypertensive agents as well as lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase inhibitors are presented. Furthermore...

Three-component couplings were achieved from common aryl halides, alkyl halides, and heteroarenes under palladium and norbornene co-catalysis. The reaction forges hindered aryl-heteroaryl bonds and introduces ortho-alkyl groups to aryl rings. Various heterocycles such as oxazoles, thiazoles and thiophenes underwent efficient coupling. The heteroarenes were deprotonated in situ by bases without ...

OBJECTIVES Both environmental and occupational exposure limits are based on the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL), lowest-observed-adverse-effect level (LOAEL) or benchmark dose (BMD) deriving from epidemiological and experimental studies. The aim of this study is to investigate to what extent the NOAEL values for organic compounds responsible for liver toxicity calculated based on their...

FTIPPURIC ACID 1S an important metabolic product normally present in urine in amounts determined by tile ingestion of benzyl-containing foods and medicinals (ii). Because this compound is comparatively inert chemically, identification requires isolation and the determination of physical constants after extensive purification. There has long been need for a reliable and sensitive color reaction ...

The synthesis of the first Cu2(m-S) complex, {(IPr*)Cu}2(m-S) (IPr* 1⁄4 1,3-bis(2,6-(diphenylmethyl)-4methylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene; 1), has been accomplished via three synthetic routes: (1) salt metathesis between (IPr*)CuCl and Na2S; (2) silyl-deprotection reaction between (IPr*)Cu(SSiMe3) and (IPr*)CuF; and (3) acid–base reaction between (IPr*)Cu(SH) and (IPr*)Cu(OBu). The X-ray crystal st...

[reaction--see text] Alcohols were efficiently converted to alkyl halides using 1-n-butyl-3-methylylimidazolium halides (ionic liquids) in the presence of Brønsted acids at room temperature. The alkyl halide products were easily isolated from the reaction mixture via simple decantation or extraction, and the 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium cation could be recycled for further uses.
