A protocol based on [Ru(Me3tacn)(CF3CO2)2(H2O)]CF3CO2 (1, Me3tacn = 1,4,7-trimethyl-1,4,7triazacyclononane) as catalyst and tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as oxidant was developed for oxidation of anisoles to p-benzoquinone monoketals. This reaction can be formally considered as regioselective aromatic C-H oxidation. With 2-methoxyanisole as substrate, 3,4-dimethoxy-4-tert-butoxy-2,5-cyclohexa...

The title compound, C(24)H(23)ClO(4), is a potent insecticide and miticide. The five-membered cyclo-pentane ring displays an envelope conformation with the atom at the flap position 0.611 (2) Å out of the mean plane formed by the other four atoms. The furan ring makes dihedral angles of 71.3 (2) and 81.9 (2)°, respectively, with the 2,4,6-trimethyl-phenyl and 4-chloro-phenyl rings. The dihedral...

Solvent mixtures containing trimethyl borate virtually eliminated the pronounced interconversion of 1,2- and 1,3-dipalmitins during their resolution by thin-layer chromatography on Silica Gel G. With trimethyl borate, an average of 1-2% of 1,2-dipalmitin was converted to 1,3-dipalmitin. A four-directional-development TLC procedure incorporating trimethyl borate resolves cholesteryl glucoside, c...

Computational studies on three tautomeric forms of four 1,5,6,7-tetrahydro- 4H-indazol-4-one derivatives: 1,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4H-indazol-4-one (1), 6,6-dimethyl- 1,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4H-indazol-4-one (2), 3-methyl-1,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4H-indazol-4-one (3) and 3,6,6-trimethyl-1,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4H-indazol-4-one (4), have been performed at different levels, ranging from semiempirical AM1, ab initio Ha...

The title compound, [Fe(C(7)H(5)FN)Cl(C(3)H(9)P)(3)], was obtained as a product of the reaction of [Fe(Me(3)P)(4)] with a molar equivalent of (2-chloro-6-fluoro-phen-yl)methanimine in diethyl ether. This compound is sensitive to air, and rapidly decomposes when exposed to air for a few minutes. The Fe atom has an octa-hedral coordination geometry in which the bidentate fluoro-phenyl methanimine...

There are two mol-ecules, A and B, in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C14H16N2O4S, which is the first example reported in this family of compounds in which the Nsp(3) atom of the thia-diazine ring is methyl-ated. The thia-diazine rings adopt shallow envelope conformations, with the S atoms displaced by 0.319 (12) and 0.182 (12) Å from the mean planes of the other ring atoms in mol-ec...

1,1'-[5-Methyl-1-(4-methyl-phen-yl)-1H-pyrazole-3,4-di-yl)di-ethan-one condenses with thio-semicarbazide in the presence of acetic acid to form the title salt, C(15)H(17)N(4) (+)·NCS(-). The fused-ring system of the cation is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.020 Å) and the aromatic substituent is aligned at an angle of 48.2 (1)° with respect to the mean plane of the fused-ring system. The N ...
