An enantioselective conjugate addition of boron to α,β-unsaturated ketones catalysed by either a N-heterocyclic carbene or a copper-carbene complex generated in situ from a new chiral bicyclic triazolium based on [2.2]paracyclophane is presented. The dual chiral carbene-copper catalyst has significant advantages over its carbene counterpart as an organocatalyst in asymmetric β-boration of acycl...

Pyridinium 2-carboxylates decompose thermally in the presence of a variety of late transition metal precursors to yield the corresponding 2-pyridylidene-like complexes. The mild reaction conditions and structural diversity that can be generated in the heterocyclic ring make this method an attractive alternative for the synthesis of 2-pyridylidene complexes. IR spectra of the Ir(i) carbonyl comp...

In the title compound, C15H12N4O4, the dihedral angle between the heterocyclic rings is 12.60 (8)°, and that between the benzene ring and the adjacent heterocyclic ring is 85.14 (6)°. In the crystal, a combination of N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules related by a glide plane into a C(5) C(6)[R (2) 2(9)] chain of rings, which is a distinctly different packing motif to those observed...

In this paper, we introduce a novel and convenient method for the transformation of heterocyclic amides into heteocyclic thioamides. A two-step approach was applied for this transformation: Firstly, we applied a chlorination of the heterocyclic amides to afford the corresponding chloroheterocycles. Secondly, the chloroherocycles and N-cyclohexyl dithiocarbamate cyclohexylammonium salt were heat...

Two decarboxylative methods providing access to N-alkylated α-trihalomethylated heterocyclic amines have been developed. A batch protocol in which methyl trifluoroacetate acts both as a methylating reagent and subsequently as a nucleophilic trifluoromethyl anion precursor upon its addition to (iso)quinoline derivatives. Next, a telescoped continuous flow process, forming the corresponding α-tri...

The first N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed [3+4] cycloaddition of azomethine imines and enals is disclosed. Oxidative catalytic remote activation of enals affords 1,4-dipolarophile intermediates that react with 1,3-dipolar azomethine imines to generate dinitrogen-fused seven-membered heterocyclic products with high optical purities. Our approach also provides effective kinetic resolution ...

The palladium catalytic system was first applied to 2-arylquinazoline synthesis via hydrogen transfer methodology. Various (E)-2-nitrobenzaldehyde O-methyl oximes reacted easily with alcohols or benzyl amines to provide N-heterocyclic compounds in good to high yields. Similarly, the heterocyclic products could be prepared by the reaction of 1-(2-nitrophenyl)ethanone, urea and benzyl alcohols. I...

Pyrrole is a heterocyclic aromatic organic compound, a five-membered ring with the formula C4H4NH. It is a colourless volatile liquid that darkens readily upon exposure to air. Substituted derivatives are also called pyrroles, e.g., N-methylpyrrole, C4H4NCH3. Porphobilinogen, a trisubstituted pyrrole, is the biosynthetic precursor to many natural products such as heme. A heterocyclic compound i...

7-Dimethyl-amino-2-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazin-5-amine crystallized with one mol-ecule of methanol to give the title compound, C(12)H(13)N(7)·CH(3)OH. The triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazine heterocyclic core is essentially planar as are both amino groups that are involved in π-electron delocalization with the triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazine nucleus. The methyl groups of the dimethyl-a...

Mineralization studies were performed to examine the impact of N deprivation on microbial utilization of the N-heterocyclic herbicides, atrazine and cloransulam-methyl (C-M). Soil depleted by 130 years of cropping to Zea mays without fertilization was contrasted to soil from the same site regularly receiving fertilizers. Long-term N deprivation promoted rapid degradation of atrazine and the C-M...
