An efficient BF3·Et2O-promoted benzylation of arenes and heteroarenes with various benzyl ether derivatives has been developed. This method provided alternative access to valuable diarylmethane in good yields under mild conditions via an easy work-up procedure.

Microwave assisted reactions have gained considerable attention, due to versatility and reduction ofsolvent and reaction time. The reaction of a nano-coconut shell and boron tri-fluoride in diethylether solvent resulted in preparation of nano-coconut shell-BF3 as a catalyst. The nano-coconutshell-BF3 catalyst has been characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (F...

We present the results of an extended computational study of the electric and magnetic properties connected to Cotton-Mouton birefringences, on the trifluoro- and trichloroborides in the gas phase. The electric dipole polarizabilities, magnetizabilities, quadrupole moments, and higher-order hypersusceptibilities--expressed as quadratic and cubic frequency-dependent response functions--are compu...

We present here results on molecular dynamics simulation of three 7-tert-butylbenzofurans with substituents at the fifth position: CONH(CH2)2OMe (BF1), CONH-c-Pr(cyclopropyl) (BF2) and 3-methylene-γ-butyrolactonyl (BF3), complexed with cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), a target for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Perturbative changes in the enzyme structure, energetics of interaction an...

a highly efficient procedure for the preparation of n,n'-alkylidenebisamides in the presence of bf3.sio2 as a catalyst is described. n,n'-alkylidenebisamides have been prepared via one-pot three-component condensation reaction of various aldehydes and amides. all of the reactions proceeded in high yields and in moderately short reaction times.
