On-surface synthesis is a promising strategy for engineering heteroatomic covalent nanoarchitectures with prospects in electronics, optoelectronics and photovoltaics. Here we report the thermal tunability of reaction pathways of a molecular precursor in order to select intramolecular versus intermolecular reactions, yielding monomeric or polymeric phthalocyanine derivatives, respectively. Depos...

Cyclic azasilanes have been synthesized for the purpose of developing coupling agents appropriate for a variety of nanotechnologies including surface modification of nanoparticles, nanocrystals, mesoporous materials and substrates. N-Methyl-aza-2,2,4-trimethylsilacyclopentane is representative of this class of compounds. Preliminary data for the treatment of inorganic surfaces, including nanopa...

BACKGROUND The nature of the heteroatom substitution in the nitrogen of a 3-aza-Cope system is explored. RESULTS While N-propargyl isoxazolin-5-ones suffer 3-aza-Cope rearrangements at 60°C, the corresponding N-propargyl pyrazol-5-ones need a higher temperature of 180°C for the equivalent reaction. When the propargyl group is substituted by an allyl group, the temperature of the rearrangement...

[reaction: see text] A highly efficient aza Diels-Alder reaction of Danishefsky's diene with imines was found to occur in methanol in the absence of any acids at room temperature to give corresponding 2-substituted dihydro-4-pyridone derivatives in high yields. This reaction can be also carried out in a three-component one-pot reaction manner. The reaction was found to proceed through a Mannich...

elisa data is usually handled in the ms excel worksheets through different methods and different formulas. accurate and precise calculations of the data is time consuming and tedious. elisa analyzer was developed with a user friendly interface to streamline titration and analysis of the data obtained from elisa and improve rapid and lucid presentation of the results. the software can also help ...

A highly enantioselective Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction of maleimides with isatin derived ketimines has been developed to obtain enantiomerically enriched 3-substituted-3-aminooxindoles using β-isocupreidine as an organocatalyst. Maleimide acting as a nucleophile provides products with up to 99% ee.

A wide variety of chiral succinimides have been prepared in high yields and enantioselectivities by an asymmetric conjugate addition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds to maleimides under very mild reaction conditions using the bifunctional benzimidazole-derived organocatalyst 5f. Computational and NMR studies support the hydrogen-bonding activation role of the catalyst and the origin of the stereosel...
