2-(2-Alkoxycarbonyl-1-arylamino-1-propenyl)benzimidazolium and 5-(2-alkoxycarbonyl-1-arylamino-1-propenyl)triazolium salts were synthesized in good yields from the reaction of benzimidazole and triazole carbenes with ketenimines. Upon treatment with a base, both salts were converted into novel 1,3-dipoles which underwent [3+2] cycloaddition reactions with electron-deficient alkynes and allenes ...

Irradiation of &methyl spiro [2.5] oct-7-en-4-one through its singlet excited state resulted in the formation of 4-methyl spirO [2.5] oct-4-en -6-one. We have used the cyclopropyl moiety in the molecule as a probe to study the operating mechanism in the photochemistry of ?, ?-unsaturated compounds. The results showed that this photoisomerization probably occurs through a concerted process.

Hole transporting materials (HTMs) play essential roles in facilitating hole extraction and suppressing recombination lead halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs). High levels of p-doping HTMs is necessary for achieving high device performance, attributed to an increased electrical conductivity. In this work, we provide evidences that the poor performance PSCs with low doping (i.e., 4 mol% spiro-O...

Electrophilic ring opening of spiro-cyclopropanecarboxylated sugars followed by reaction with DBU revealed interesting ring-contraction and ring-expansion reactions depending on the substrate and the kind of hydroxyl protective group present adjacent to the spiro center. A stereoselective method for accessing a new class of carbon chain extended keto-furanoses and C-glycosylated bicyclic compou...

In the present of methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate, the synthesis of arylidene heterobicyclic pyrimidinones is studied by condensation of aromatic aldehyde, cyclopentanone, and urea or thiourea. Using solvent-free conditions, non-toxic and inexpensive materials, simple and clean work-up, short reaction times and good yields of the products are the advantages of this method.

The mol-ecular conformation of the title compound, C41H29ClN4O3S, is stabilized by intra-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. The thia-zole ring adopts an envelope conformation with the N atom as the flap, while the pyrrolidine ring has a twisted conformation on the N-C bond involving the spiro C atom. The β la-ctam ring makes dihedral angles of 39.74 (15) and 16.21 (16)° with the mean pl...

Chiral spiro phosphorus ligands including monophosphoramidites and diphosphines, which contained 1,1'-spirobiindane as a backbone, were designed and synthesized. These spiro ligands were proven to be highly efficient for rhodiumand ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenations of prochiral olefins and ketones with excellent enantioselectivities.

A new approach towards the synthesis of indole derivatives via triflic acid-promoted cycloisomerization with rearrangement of 2-(alkyn-1-yl)phenyl isothiocyanates and 2-(alkyn-1-yl)phenyl isocyanates has been achieved. By this methodology, structurally diverse types of indole derivatives such as thieno- and furo-indoles, spiro-indolethiones, spiro-oxindoles, and 3-alkylidene-oxindoles were synt...

In an effort to develop new and possibly better types of barbiturates, suitable for intravenous use, a large number of spiro-barbiturates have been prepared by a ring closure on the 5-carbon atom of the barbituric acid and afforded for pharmacologic study. Spiro(2'-ethyl-3',5'-dimethyl cyclopentane) thio-barbituric acid appears to be the most promising product of a series of 50 analogues. Stoel...
