Correction for 'Reusable manganese compounds containing pyrazole-based ligands for olefin epoxidation reactions' by Ester Manrique et al., Dalton Trans., 2015, 44, 17529-17543.

High-valent iron–oxo species are frequently invoked as the key intermediates in the catalytic oxidation of organic substrates by heme and nonheme iron mono-oxygenases. In the case of heme-containing enzymes such as cytochromes P450, oxoiron(iv) porphyrin p-cation radicals have been proposed as active oxidants that effect a number of oxidation reactions, which include alkane hydroxylation, olefi...

The commercially available 6-methoxy-1-tetralone 1 was converted [15] into the olefin 2 in 94% yield by heating under reflux with 2,4-pentanediol and a catalytic amount of p-toluenesulphonic acid (p-TsOH) who’s spectroscopic properties perfectly agree with structure assigned. The olefin 2 was also previously synthesized by different routes [14,16] but the yield was not high compared with the pr...

It has been found that nucleophilic reagents, i.e., NaBH4, Grignard reagents, and alkyl lithium, uniquely react with the -alkoxyor acyloxy-lactone moieties in ginkgolide and F-seco-ginkgolides to give rise to lactol derivatives. The reaction is rapid and stops at the lactol stage; the strong coordination of Na, Mg, and Li metals to the conformationally rigid cage structure is involved in both t...

A series of Ru(II) mixed-ligand complexes RuBr(2)(PPh(3))(2)(N-AyBzTh) (Ay = prop-2-enyl; BzTh = benzothiazol-2-ylidene) (4), RuBr(OAc)(PPh(3))(N-MeAyBzTh) (5), RuBr(OAc)(PPh(3))(N-MeBnBzTh)(2) (MeBn = 3-methylbut-2-enyl) (6) and RuCl(OAc)(PPh(3))(N-MeBnBzTh) (7) have been synthesized from Ru(OAc)(2)(PPh(3))(2) in one-pot condensation and ligand exchange reactions. X-ray single-crystal diffract...

Aqua-coordinated sandwich-type polyoxometalates (POMs), {[WZnTM2(H2O)2](ZnW9O34)2} n- (TM=RhIII, PdII, and PtII), catalyze olefin epoxidation with hydrogen peroxide and have been well established, and they present an advance toward the utilization of olefins. To elucidate the epoxidation mechanism, we systematically performed density functional calculations. The reaction proceeds through a two-...

abstract: in this study an appropriate computational approach was presented for estimating the boiling temperatures of 41 different types of olefins and their derivatives. based on the guidelines of this approach, several structural indices related to the organic components were applied using graph theory. meanwhile, in addition to evaluating the relation between the boiling temperatures of ole...

OBSERVATION OF BIS-1,3-BENZODIOXONE TYPE HOMODIMER SYNTHESIZED VIA PIPERINE OLEFIN METATHESIS CATALYZED BY NON-COMMERCIAL Ru(II) PRE-CATALYSTS. LN-1 and LN-2 are two complexes coordinated to the phosphine amines simultaneously, each with chlorides. PPh3 is amine piperidine (LN-1) perhydroazepine (LN-2). The compounds five-coordinated square pyramidal geometry, in axial plane. were tested for fi...
