1his thesis is the flfst report of reactions of atomic calbon with acid chlorides. Carbon is known to react with phosgene to afford dichlorocarbene. We report a similar reaction with carbon and acid ch~lorides, generating alkylchlorocarbenes. We examine both the nature of the carbene products generated through deoxygenation and the general reacliviry ofcarbon with the acid chlorides. We report ...

The catalytic performance of various metal chlorides in the conversion of cellulose to levulinic acid in liquid water at high temperatures was investigated. The effects of reaction parameters on the yield of levulinic acid were also explored. The results showed that alkali and alkaline earth metal chlorides were not effective in conversion of cellulose, while transition metal chlorides, especia...

A novel method for oxazine derivatives formation is established using the reaction of ammonium thiocyanate and acid chlorides with 1-naphthol in the presence of Nanoparticle of ZnO to afford [1,3]oxazine-4-thione derivatives under solvent-free conditions at room temperature in excellent yields. 

Manganese-induced early biochemical changes and effects of supplementation of magnesium nitrate (Mg(NO3)2) and antioxidant vitamins (A, C, D and E) were studied in rats intoxicated with manganese. Significant elevation in the level of chlorides in plasma, erythrocytes, liver and cerebellum, and a decrease in plasma inorganic phosphate (pi) with an increase in liver pi were observed in animals e...

the difficult to handle and store zinc borohydride, zn(bh4)2, is stabilized by supporting it on polyvinylpyridine. this new mild, efficient, selective, and regenerable polymer supported borohydride reducing agent reduces a variety organic compounds such as, aldehydes, a-b-unsaturated carbonyl compounds, acid chlorides, epoxides, disulfides, as well as reductive acetylation of carbonyl compounds...

The blood findings in five monkeys after experimental high intestinal obstruction are reported. All animals showed the marked rise in non-protein nitrogen characteristic of intestinal obstruction in man and the dog. Two monkeys showed a very marked drop in chlorides, the others a less marked fall. Coincident with the change in chlorides there is a rise in the CO(2)-combining power. The uric aci...

The first enantioselective Ni-catalyzed reductive acyl cross-coupling has been developed. Treatment of acid chlorides and racemic secondary benzyl chlorides with a Ni(II)/bis(oxazoline) catalyst in the presence of Mn(0) as a stoichiometric reductant generates acyclic α,α-disubstituted ketones in good yields and high enantioselectivity without requiring stoichiometric chiral auxiliaries or prege...

An effective synthesis of nucleosides using glycosyl chlorides as glycosyl donors in the absence of Lewis acid has been developed. Glycosyl chlorides have been shown to be pivotal intermediates in the classical silyl-Hilbert-Johnson reaction. A possible mechanism that differs from the currently accepted mechanism advanced by Vorbrueggen has been proposed and verified by experiments. In practice...
