Homogeneous linear poly(tartrate ester) ligands provide high chemical yields and enantiomeric excesses in the epoxidation of trans-hex-2-en-1-ol using Ti(OPr)4-tert-butyl hydroperoxide. Branched poly(tartrate ester) can be use as heterogeneous ligands in the epoxidation of trans-hex-2-en-1-ol using Ti(OPr)4-tert-butyl hydroperoxide. Removal and recovery of the polymer catalyst is a simple filtr...

The title compound, C(37)H(52)O(4)S, was obtained by the reaction of 6,6'-(ethane-1,1-di-yl)bis-(2,4-di-tert-butyl-phenol) and 4-methyl-benzene-1-sulfonyl chloride. The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond. Two of the tert-butyl groups are disordered over two sets of sites with occupancies 0.530 (15)/0.470 (15) and 0.615 (11)/0.385 (11).

The molecules of 3-tert-butyl-5-[(4-methoxybenzyl)amino]-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole, C21H25N3O, are linked into simple C9 chains by a single C-H...N hydrogen bond. 5-[(Benzotriazol-1-ylmethyl)(4-methoxybenzyl)amino]-3-tert-butyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazole, C28H30N6O, crystallizes with Z' = 2 in the space group P2(1)/c. The molecules are weakly linked into centrosymmetric tetramolecular aggregates by a comb...

In the presence of MeI or EtI, N-tert-butyl-1,3-thiazoline-2-thione derivatives undergo a transformation to 2-alkylthio-thiazoledithiolate pro-ligands with elimination of the tert-butyl substituent. The corresponding Au(III) dithiolene complexes [Au(RS-tzdt)2](-) (R = Me, Et) oxidize readily to the neutral radical species, such as the semi-conducting [Au(EtS-tzdt)2]˙, which organizes into dimer...

A new enantioselective synthetic method for α-halo-α-alkylmalonates is reported. α-Alkylation of diphenylmethyl tert-butyl α-halomalonates under phase-transfer catalytic conditions (solid KOH, toluene, -40 °C) in the presence of (S,S)-3,4,5-trifluorophenyl-NAS bromide (5 mol%) afforded diphenylmethyl tert-butyl α-halo-α-alkylmalonates in very high chemical yields (up to 99%) and optical yields ...

The effect of concentration, molar ratios of reagents, pH, and temperature on formation of chloro-organic products in reaction of tert-butyl ethers with chloride ions and hydrogen peroxide has been determined. A significant effect of Cl(-) ions and H(2)O(2) molar ratios on the rate of chloro-organic product formation has been observed. Studies on oxychlorination of tert-butylethyl ether (ETBE) ...

Novel butterfly-shaped, highly fluorescent stable monomers of the type 7-tert-butyl-1,3,5,9-tetrakisarylpyrene were synthesized by the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction of the new bromopyrene derivative 7-tert-butyl-1,3, 5,9-tetrabromopyrene with the corresponding arylboronic acids. The design and synthesis of efficient electroluminescent materials based on polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) has be...

Among the few bacteria known to utilize methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) as a sole carbon source, Methylibium petroleiphilum PM1 is a well-characterized organism with a sequenced genome; however, knowledge of the genetic regulation of its MTBE degradation pathway is limited. We investigated the role of a putative transcriptional activator gene, mdpC, in the induction of MTBE-degradation genes mdp...

With the coordination geometry of DyIII being relatively fixed, oxygen and sulfur atoms were used to replace one porphyrin pyrrole nitrogen atom of sandwich complex [(Bu)4N][DyIII(Pc)(TBPP)] [Pc = dianion of phthalocyanine, TBPP = 5,10,15,20-tetrakis[(4-tert-butyl)phenyl]porphyrin]. The energy barrier of the compounds was enhanced three times, with the order of DyIII(Pc)(STBPP) > DyIII(Pc)(OTBP...
