The primary phosphine 3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-phosphinophenol has been prepared and characterized. Oddly, the presence of a sterically demanding tert-butyl group adjacent to the PH2 centre renders the molecule very sensitive to loss of PH3 and formation of 3,5-di-tert-butyl-phenol in chloroform solutions in the presence of air. The process was catalyzed by HCl and dependent on the purity of CDCl3. ...

The organo-phosphate experimental nematicide, O-ethyl S,S-di-sec-butyl phosphorodithioate (FMC 67825), provided yield increases of corn comparable to carbofuran. Both the emulsifiable concentrate and granular formulations of FMC 67825 were equally effective. The evaluations, duplicated in two adjacent fields, clearly demonstrated the importance of the type of plant pathogenic nematodes infestin...

background antioxidant compounds have been shown to slow down the development of chemically induced tumors. it has been estimated that most of human cancer cases are due to environmental factors and would be preventable if the main risks could be identified. the potential of vitamin e as a cancer preventive agent has been studied and individuals whose intake of vitamin e was above average showe...

A series of mononuclear boron halides of the type LBX(2) [LH = N-phenyl-3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylaldimine, X = Cl (2), Br (3)] and LBX [LH2 = N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylaldimine, X = Cl (7), Br (8); LH2 = N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylaldimine, X = Cl (9), Br (10); and LH2 = N-(3-hydroxypropyl)-3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylaldimine, X = Cl (11), Br (12)] were synthesized...

deprotection of phosphate, phosphate, and sulfite esters by silica chloride is described. silica chloride is a mild, selective, and effective reagent for cleavage of benzyl and t-butyl esters of the above compounds.

The MnBr2 complex of N2,N6-bis-(di-tert-butyl-phosphan-yl)pyridine-2,6-di-amine (1·MnBr2) co-crystallizes with 5.69% of the monophosphine oxide analogue (1O·MnBr2) and two tetra-hydro-furan (THF) mol-ecules, namely [N2,N6-bis-(di-tert-butyl-phosphan-yl)pyridine-2,6-di-amine]-dibromido-manganese(II)-[bis-(di-tert-butyl-phosphan-yl)({6-[(di-tert-butyl-phosphan-yl)amino]-pyridin-2-yl}amino)-phosph...
