A simple, efficient and clean procedure has been developed for the cleavage of imines C=N bond. Deprotection of imines to their parent carbonyl and amine compounds was achieved using p-toluenesulfonic acid in the solid state condition at 25-45 ˚C. The salient features of this methodology are shorter reaction times, cheap processing, high yields of product and easy availability of the catalyst. ...

effective methodologies for efficient preparation of semicarbazones from aldehydes or ketones via milling and the subsequent regeneration of the parent carbonyls by gaseous nitrogen dioxide are described under solid-solid and gas-solid reaction conditions, respectively. these methods are fast, simple and environmentally benign which do not require the use of any auxiliaries such as catalysts or...

[Cp(*)RhCl(PTA)(2)]X (PTA = 7-phospha-1,3,5-triazaadamantane) undergoes an H/D exchange process between the methyl groups of Cp(*) and D(2)O whose rate depends on the coordinating ability of the counterion X(-). Kinetic studies and DFT calculations indicate that deuteration involves the abstraction of a Me-Cp(*) proton by a coordinated OH(-); the formation of the latter seems to be facilitated ...

A lot of troilite reaction rim textures formed through sulfidation of FeNi alloy of kamacite and taenite with sulfur rich gas have been identified especially in C03 unequilibrated carbonaceous chondrites. Troilite formation through sulfidation of FeNi alloy of kamacite and taenite with sulfur rich gas in the solar nebula is expected from the reaction kinetics as well as from the equilibrium con...

AIM To determine the effect of parent education on adaptive behaviour, autism symptoms and cognitive/language skills of young children with autistic disorder. METHOD A randomised group comparison design involving a parent education and counselling intervention and a parent education and behaviour management intervention to control for parent skills training and a control sample. Two rural and...
