BiFeO3 (BFO), Bi0.86Sm0.07Eu0.07FeO3 (BSEFO), and Bi0.86Sm0.07Cd0.07FeO3 (BSCFO) nano powders were prepared by the sol-gel combustion method and the catalytic performances were evaluated in the acetylation reaction of benzyl alcohol. The physical chemical properties of the catalysts were character...

Alkylaminoand cycloalkylaminotriphenylphosphonium halides react with elemental halogens or interhalogen compounds to afford alkylaminoor cycloalkylaminotriphenylphosphonium trihalides. The stability of these trihalides depends on the cation as well as the trihalide anion. The assignment of a trihalide structure to these compounds was based on elemental analysis and on IRand Raman spectroscopic ...

The palladium-catalyzed conversion of aryl and vinyl triflates to aryl and vinyl halides (bromides and chlorides) has been developed using dialkylbiaryl phosphine ligands. A variety of aryl, heteroaryl, and vinyl halides can be prepared via this method in good to excellent yields.

The conversion of aryl halides to phenols under mild reaction conditions is a longstanding and formidable challenge in organic chemistry. Herein, we report the rational design of a broadly applicable Pd-catalyzed method to prepare phenols with benzaldehyde oxime as a hydroxide surrogate. These reactions occur under mildly basic conditions and enable the late-stage hydroxylation of several funct...

A simple protocol for iron-catalyzed cross-coupling of nonactivated secondary alkyl bromides and iodides with alkynyl Grignard reagents at room temperature has been developed. A wide range of secondary alkyl halides and terminal alkynes are tolerated to afford the substituted alkynes in good yields. A slight modification of the reaction protocol also allows for cross-coupling with a variety of ...

An operationally simple iron-catalyzed hydrodehalogenation of aryl halides has been developed with 1 mol% Fe(acac)(3) and commercial t-BuMgCl as reductant. The mild reaction conditions (THF, 0 degrees C, 1.5 h) effect rapid chemoselective dehalogenation of (hetero)aryl halides (I, Br, Cl) and tolerate F, Cl, OR, SR, CN, CO(2)R, and vinyl groups.

A versatile heterogeneous photocatalysis protocol was developed by using ruthenium bipyridyl tethered porous organosilica (Ru-POS). The versatility of the Ru-POS catalyst in organo-photocatalysis was explored by (i) oxidative aromatization of Hantzsch ester, (ii) reductive dehalogenation of alkyl halides, and (iii) functional group interconversion (FGI) of alcohols to alkyl halides.

Bench-top-storable (Z)-enethiol reagents: gold (Z)-1-decenylthiolates were synthesized stereoselectively in high yields. They are stable upon storage at room temperature without protection from light, and react smoothly with various alkyl halides, α,β-unsaturated ketones, and electron-deficient aryl halides with excellent stereoselectivity.

This review covers a summary of the literature data published on the chemistry of bis-hydrazonoyl halides over the last four decades. The biological activities of some of the bis-heterocyclic compounds obtained from these bis-hydrazonoyl halides are also reviewed and discussed.
