The title complex, systematic name hexa-kis-(μ2-4-tert-but-oxy-4-oxobut-2-en-2-olato)-1:2κ(9) O (2),O (4):O (2);2:3κ(9) O (2),O (4):O (2)-trizinc, [Zn3(C8H13O3)6], syn-the-sized from tert-butyl aceto-acetate and di-ethyl-zinc, consists of trinuclear centrosymmetric mol-ecules of an approximate C 3i symmetry. The three metal cations are arranged in a linear fashion, with the central Zn(II) atom ...

Methylibium sp. strain T29 was isolated from a gasoline-contaminated aquifer and proved to have excellent capabilities in degrading some common fuel oxygenates like methyl tert-butyl ether, tert-amyl methyl ether and tert-butyl alcohol along with other organic compounds. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of M. sp. strain T29 together with the description of the genome properties and its...

The title compound, C(25)H(38)O(5), was formed by the reaction of dimethyl 2-butyl-malonate and 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-[(dimethyl-amino)meth-yl]phenol. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains along [010].

Unambiguous catalytic homogeneous alkane transfer dehydrogenation was observed with a group 10 metal complex catalyst, LPt(II)(cyclo-C6H10)H, supported by a lipophilic dimethyl-di(4-tert-butyl-2-pyridyl)borate anionic ligand and tert-butylethene as the sacrificial hydrogen acceptor.

A total synthesis of paroxetine is reported, with a diastereoselective and diastereoconvergent cobalt-catalysed sp3-sp2 coupling reaction involving a 3-substituted 4-bromo-N-Boc-piperidine (Boc = tert-butoxycarbonyl) substrate as a key step. A 9:1 diastereoselectivity was obtained, while a control experiment involving a conformationally locked 3-substituted 4-bromo-tert-butyl cyclohexane ring p...
