Metalation of CH2OH-substituted triazolium salts with CoCl2 under basic conditions affords C,O-bidentate chelating carbene Co(III) complexes (3a, 3b), while analogous phenyl-substituted produce monodentate Co(II) (3c, 3d). The distinct substituent-induced properties the metal centers were demonstrated by electrochemical measurements and catalytic activities in two specific processes. showed app...

Oxalic acid dihydrate as a green, mild and efficient catalyst for the one-pot three-component Biginelli synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-(1H)-one derivatives from the reaction between β-keto esters (methyl or ethyl acetoacetate), aromatic aldehyde (benzaldehye derivatives) and urea or thiourea under thermal and solvent-free conditions with excellent yields and short reaction time is st...
