1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of 1 mol or 2 mol of dibenzalaceton with 1 mol of non-stabilized azomethinylides generated in situ by decarboxylative condensation of isatin and proline or sarcosine give the novel new spiro-oxindolo(pyrrolizidines/ pyrrolidines) instead of bis-spirooxindolo( pyrrolizidines/ pyrrolidines).

Treatment of 2,2'-bis(allyloxy)-1,1'-binaphthyls with the first-generation Grubbs' carbene under MW-irradiation results in the formation of new polycyclic spiro-enones through an unprecedented RCM/Claisen sequence.

Mild and applicable synthesis of mono-, bis-, and spiro- perimidines is demonstrated in high yields via the condensation of 1,8-diaminonaphthalene and aldehydes or ketones in the presence of sulfamic acid as a green and highly efficient catalyst. This environmentally benign and clean synthetic pathway offers several advantages, such as high yields, short reaction times and easy work-up procedure.

The hole transport material (HTM) of organic–inorganic perovskite solar cells (PVSCs) plays a very important role for achieving high power conversion efficiency and long-term stability. 2,2’,7,7’-tetrakis[N,N-di(4-methoxyphenyl)amino]-9-9’-spirobifluorene (spiro-OMeTAD) is the first solid-state HTM used in PVSCs has gained tremendous attention during last decade. Herein, concept spirolinkage sy...

Herein we report on a series of bulky bis(alkyl)- and bis(silyl)- substituted polysilanes. Moreover, performed desilylation dechlorination experiments with them. These compounds were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, X-ray crystallography. It was found that the selective formation silyl mono- di-anions is crucial for successful isolation these utilized multiple ...

Addressing the stability issue in perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is a crucial step for commercialization purposes. Finding novel and stable hole-transporting layer (HTL) one of most effective strategies to solve this problem. Herein, new polymeric HTL, namely poly{2,7-[(5,5-bis(3?,7?-dimethyloctyl)-5 H-1,8-dithia-as-indacenone]-alt-5,5-[5?,6?-bis(octyloxy)-4?,7?-di-2-thienyl-2?,1?,3?-benzothiadi...

The C-C coupling of N,N'-bis(5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboximide) (3) and N,N'-bis(7-oxa-5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboximide) (6) with aryl and heteroaryl iodides gave under reductive Heck conditions the C-aryl(hetaryl), substituted N,N'-bistricyclic imides 7a-f and 8a,b. The fused spiro-1,3-indandionolylpyrrolidine compounds, 9, 10 and 11 were also obtained from ninhydrine, sarcosine and 3 or 6 via [3+2...

[reaction: see text]. Synthesis of novel dithiane-spiro-crown ethers starting from 5,5-di(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-dithiane is developed. These compounds can be used as building blocks to assemble photolabile bis-crown ethers via addition to dicarbonyl-containing tethers, e.g., isophthalic aldehyde. It is found that unlike their mono-crown precursors such bidentate bis-crowns are capable of efficient...
