The t-Bu-P4 base was found to be an excellent catalyst for the condensation of trimethylsilylacetate or trimethylacetonitrile with carbonyl compounds to form functionalized alkenes and beta-enaminoesters were also synthesized by the condensation with formanilides.

In this study, we combined different physico-chemical methods to show the effect of overheating on the quality of golden fry cooking oil. Those methods include spectroscopic methods such us 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and FTIR. Results showed that both overheating and excessive reuse of golden fry cooking oil seriously affected its quality by increasing its density, viscosity and different indexes like ref...

In this study, a set of frying oil samples of different compositional properties but passed qualitative and quantitative standards, which were of various vegetable oil sources (individually or as blends), were obtained from seven of big oil factories in Iran. Before starting the frying process, all the frying oils had carbonyl values (CV) higher than 2 micromol g(-1). The CV of most frying oils...

18.1 Enolate Ions and Enols We described in Chapters 13 and 16 that the C=O group of carbonyl compounds is reactive to attack by both nucleophiles (N:) and electrophiles (E+). We also saw in Chapter 13 that the C=O group causes Hs attached to its α-C (H-Cα-C=O) to be unusually acidic. As a result, these α-CH's are removed by bases giving enolate ions (-:Cα-C=O) Figure 18.01) that can react as n...

The recently discovered novel concept of self-terminating, oxidative radical cyclizations, through which alkynes can be converted into carbonyl compounds under very mild reaction conditions using O-centered inorganic and organic radicals as oxidants, is described.

An easily-accessible neutral scandium complex Sc[OC(CH3)2CH2PPh2][O-2,6-tBu2-C6H3]2[THF] behaves as a reactive Sc/P frustrated Lewis pair, which when added to organic and inorganic substrates e.g. carbonyl compounds, transition-metal chlorides, and diazoalkane compounds, yields unique and intriguing addition products such as a Sc/Rh heterobimetallic complex and a Sc phosphazine complex.

sulfonated polystyrene/montmorillonite nanocomposite (ommt/ps-so3h) was prepared and used as a novel, efficient and inexpensive heterogeneous acid catalyst in the one-pot reaction three-component mannich reaction of ketones, aromatic aldehydes and amines under solvent-free conditions. the catalyst was characterized by xrd, sem, tg, bet and ft-ir techniques. this method has advantages of high yi...

A highly efficient electroallylation of carbonyl compounds in aqueous electrolyte in a divided cell with a catalytic amount of zinc consumption is reported.

We have reported that the reaction of ethyl bromodifluoroacetate (1) with alkenyl iodides in the presence of copper powder gives ethyl alkenyldifluoroacetates. As an extension of this reaction, reaction of 1 with Michael acceptors in the presence of copper powder was examined and found to give 1,4-addition products selectively, unless the acceptor has a group stabilizing a radical intermediate,...
