Single crystal ZnO microrods are deposited on the surface of Zn plate through corrosion of Zn plate by H2O2 which is a green neutral reagent and easy to transform to H2O and O2. The structure and morphology of the obtained ZnO microrods were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction. A thermodynamics mechanism was...

We report a Chan–Lam coupling reaction of benzylic and allylic boronic esters with primary secondary anilines to form valuable alkyl amine products. Both tertiary can be used as partners, mono-alkylation the aniline occurring selectively. This is rare example transition-metal-mediated transformation alkylboron reagent. Initial investigation into mechanism suggests that transmetalation from B Cu...

Available online-1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium selenocyanate ([bmim][SeCN]) proved to be a very efficient reagent for selenocyanation of alkyl halides. As part an eco-friendly process, no organic solvents were used during the transformation and reaction times are reduced by using microwave as heating source. The ionic liquid was carefully recycled in two different ways. Selenocyanate compounds ...

The new guanidinylation reagent N,N'-diBoc-N''-triflylguanidine was used to efficiently convert multiamine-containing glycosides including kanamycin A and B, tobramycin, paromomycin, and neomycin B to the corresponding fully guanidinylated analogues (guanidinoglycosides). This transformation occurs in the presence of H(2)O under mild conditions. Guanidinotobramycin and guanidinoneomycin B were ...

We present a simple, mild, and highly effective method for the direct conversion of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids. TPAP serves as the catalyst, and NMO·H(2)O plays a dual role, acting as the co-oxidant and as a reagent for aldehyde hydrate stabilization. This previously unknown stabilizing effect of geminal diols by N-oxides is the key for the efficiency of the overall transformation.

Nitrosonium ethyl sulfate (1), which is generated in situ from ethyl nitrite and sulfur trioxide, is a convenient reagent for the one-pot transformation of olefins and dienes into substituted aldehydes and ketones. New experimental and theoretical aspects of this reaction are discussed. A DFT and ab initio computational study is undertaken to provide further insight into the mechanism of electr...

The first enantioselective iridium-catalyzed allylic alkylation reaction of a masked acyl cyanide (MAC) reagent has been developed. The transformation allows for the use of an umpoled synthon, which serves as a carbon monoxide equivalent. The reaction proceeds with good yield and excellent selectivity up to gram scale for a wide range of substituted allylic electrophiles, delivering products am...
