Dimeric tri(tert-butyl)cyclopentadienyliron(II) bromide [Cp′′′Fe(μ-Br)]2 (1) reacts with phenylmagnesium bromide to give the dinuclear di(cyclohexadienylidene) complex [(Cp′′′Fe)2(μ ,η5:η5H5C6=C6H5)] (2), and with mesitylmagnesium bromide either to the dinuclear complex [Cp′′′Fe(μ ,η5:η1-C6H2Me3)Fe(Br)Cp′′′] (3) or to the mononuclear mesityl complex [Cp′′′FeC6H2Me3] (4), depending on the reacti...

Dibenzoylperoxide emerged as a versatile oxidant for quaternary ammonium iodide or bromide-catalyzed reactions of phenol derivatives with NaN3. While the use iodides allowed efficient benzylic azidations under these oxidative conditions, bromides dearomative instead. Both approaches have been successfully applied to different and first proof-of-concept an enantioselective variant using chiral q...

Three phase partitioning, a method generally used for protein separation, has been evaluated for extraction of oil from soybean. 82% oil was extracted within 1 h using this process which required simultaneous addition of t-butanol (1:1, v/v) and 30% ammonium sulphate to the soybean slurry.

The title ionic compound, C16H36N(+)·C10H20B10N3O3(-), consists of a tetra-butyl-ammonium cation and a closo-deca-borate cluster anion, which is bound to the substituted 2,3-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazole ring through a B-N bond [1.540 (2) Å]. The distances between connected B atoms in the deca-borate cluster range from 1.689 (2) to 1.844 (2) Å. The 2,3-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazole ring adopts an envelop...
