Reactions of(4S,5R)-1-(3,4-Dimethyl-2-oxo-5-phenylimidazolidine)carbonyl-isocyanate (4) with appropriate Baylis-Hillman adducts 5 gave the corresponding acyl carbamates 6,7 as equimolar diastereomeric mixtures. These mixtures were treated with DABCO, to afford with moderate diastereoselection easily separable [2-(3",4"-dimethyl-2"-oxo-5"-phenylimidazolidine-1-carboxamido)(aryl)methyl]acrylates ...

A palladium (II) complex {[(PhCH2O)2P(CH3)2CHNCH(CH3)2]2PdCl2} catalyzed Hiyama cross-coupling reaction between aryl bromides and arylsilanes has been developed. The substituted biaryls were produced in moderate to high yields, regardless of electron-withdrawing or electron-donating.

Reactions of the aryl complexes Rh(aryl){? 3 -P,O,P-[xant(P i Pr 2 ) ]} (1; = 3,5-Me C 6 H (a), 5 (b), 3,5-Cl (c), 3-FC 4 (d); xant(P 9,9-dimethyl-4,5-bis-(diisopropylphosphino)xanthene) with O , CO, and MeO CC?CCO Me have been performed. Under 1 atm pentane solutions afford dinuclear peroxide derivatives [Rh(aryl){? -P,P-xant(P }] (?-O (2a–2d) as yellow solids. In solution, these species are u...

A series of 3-alkyl(aryl)-4-[3-(2-metylbenzoxy)-4-methoxybenzylideneamino]-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones (1-9) were titrated potentiometrically with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide in four non-aqueous solvents such as isopropyl alcohol, tert-butyl acetonitrile and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), graphs drawn for all cases. The half-neutralization potential values the corresponding pKa determine...

Aryl radical anions created in liquid alcohols decay on the microsecond time scale by transfer of protons from the solvent. This paper reports a 4.5 decade range of rate constants for proton transfer from a single weak acid, ethanol, to a series of unsubstituted aryl radical anions, Ar-*. The rate constants correlate with free energy change, DeltaG(o), despite wide variations in the two factors...

New efficient synthetic methods in pyrazoline and pyrazolopyrazine chemistry have been developed starting from 2,2-dichlorovinylacetophenones 1, which were sequentially transformed into 3-aryl-5-dichloromethyl-1-(2-hydroxiethyl)-2-pyrazolines 2, 3-aryl-5-dichloromethyl-1-(2-O-tosylhydroxyethyl)-2-pyrazolines 3, 3-aryl-5-dichloromethyl-1-(2-azidoethyl)-2-pyrazolines 4, 3-aryl-5-dichloromethyl-1-...

8β-Hydroxy-9(11),13-abietadien-12-one (1), an abietane diterpenoid and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) ligand, was synthesized in six steps from commercially available (+)-dehydroabietylamine (2). We used the hypervalent iodine catalyst phenyliodine dicarboxylate, a safer alternative to toxic organoselenide reagents, for oxidative dearomatization of ferruginol (7) compound 1. Compounds 1 2, as ...

Abstract A new type of ligand-free Ni-nanoparticles supported on rGO (size distribution average d = 9 ± 3 nm) was prepared and fully characterized via morphological (Fe-SEM), structural (P-XRD, HR-TEM), spectroscopic (ICP-EOS, XPS) analysis tools. The metal composite effectively employed in the unprecedented heterogeneously Ni-assisted cross-coupling reaction aryl/vinyl iodides thiocarboxylates...
