In the title compound, [Mo(C6H18NSi2)(C3H9OSi)2N], the Mo(VI) cation is located on a mirror plane and is coordinated by a nitride anion, a 1,1,1-trimethyl-N-(tri-methyl-sil-yl)silanaminate anion and two tri-methyl-silanolate anions in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry; the N atom and two Si atoms of the 1,1,1-trimethyl-N-(tri-methyl-sil-yl)silanaminato anionic ligand are also located on the mir...

Histone lysine trimethyl states represent some of the most robust epigenetic modifications in eukaryotic chromatin. Using a candidate approach, we identified the subgroup of murine Jmjd2 proteins to antagonize H3K9me3 at pericentric heterochromatin. H3K27me3 and H4K20me3 marks are not impaired in inducible Jmjd2b-GFP cell lines, but Jmjd2b also reduces H3K36 methylation. Since recombinant Jmjd2...

The reaction of 2-lithio-1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane with YCp(2)Cl leads to the formation of a donor-functionalised mono-anionic amide ligand, 1,3,5-trimethyl-2-(methylamidomethyl)-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane, bonded to the YCp(2) unit. The reaction involves a cleavage of the 1,3,5-triazacyclohexane ring and such a cleavage is also observed in the analogous reaction with (Me(3)C)(2)GaCl...

Methyl indolenines (4a-c) and(5a-c) were prepared in high yield by a Fischer indole synthesis reaction of o,m-tolylhydrazine hydrochlorides (1a-b) with isopropyl methyl ketone (2) and 2-methylcyclohexanone (3) in acetic acid at room temperature. o,p- Nitrophenylhydrazines (1c-d) were reacted with 2-methylcyclohexanone (3) in acetic acid at reflux to give nitroindolenines (5d-e), while the attem...

In the title compound, C(29)H(25)ClO(4), the dihedral angle between the benzene rings of the 2,4,6-trimethyl-benzoyl group and the 4-chloro-benzoyl group is 65.19 (9)°. The dihedral angles between the naphthalene ring system and the benzene rings of the 2,4,6-trimethyl-benzoyl group and the 4-chloro-benzoyl group are 85.66 (8) and 69.48 (8)°, respectively. In the crystal, two types of inter-mol...

Some oxime ether derivatives of α-ionone (4-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-3-buten-2-one) have been synthesized. Reaction of 4-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-3-buten-2-ketoxime with various chloro and fluoro aromatic and hetero aromatic compounds gave the corresponding oxime ether derivatives via aromatic nucleophilic substitution (SNAr). The structures of these co...

Common battery electrolytes comprise organic carbonate solvents and fluorinated salts based on hexafluorophosphate (PF6–) anions. However, these suffer from high flammability, limited operating temperature window, cost. To address those issues, we here propose a fluorine-free electrolyte sodium bis(oxalate)borate (NaBOB). Although lithium (LiBOB) has previously been investigated for lithium-ion...

The rearrangement under oxidative conditions of 3-(benzyloxy)-tetrahydro- 2,6,6-trimethyl-2H-pyran-2-carbaldehydes to afford a chiral protected tetrahydrofuran lactol is described.

A bismuth(III)-promoted reaction of trimethyl(alkynyl)silanes with trifluoromethanesulfanylamide is developed, giving rise to (alkynyl)(trifluoromethyl)sulfanes in good yields.
