A novel method of photoinduced synthesis of unsymmetrical diaryl selenides from triarylbismuthines and diaryl diselenides has been developed. Although the arylation reactions with triarylbismuthines are usually catalyzed by transition-metal complexes, the present arylation of diaryl diselenides with triarylbismuthines proceeds upon photoirradiation in the absence of transition-metal catalysts. ...

A palladium-catalyzed arylation of hydrosiloxanes was developed for the synthesis of symmetrical and unsymmetrical siloxanes. Reactive functional moieties such as hydroxy or cyano groups were able to tolerate the reaction conditions and several novel unsymmetrical siloxanes were synthesized in moderate to high yield.

an efficient one pot multi component synthesis of 1, 4-polyhydroquinoline derivatives through unsymmetrical hantzsch reaction using lanthanum chloride heptahydrate (lacl3.7h2o) from an aromatic aldehyde, ethyl acetoacetate, dimedone and ammonium acetate as a nitrogen precursor in ethanol at room temperature is described. in the present work we report lanthanum chloride heptahydrate remarkably n...

Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are considered as one of the most promising alternativerenewable energy sources. In the structure of DSSCs, a photosensitizer composed of transitionmetal complexes is used to harvest light. In this work a binuclear complex containing twopropionitrile pendant arms [ZnLCu(OAC)]PF6 {L = 1, 6- bis (2-cyanoethyl) -2, 5-bis (2-hydroxy3-formyl-5-methylbenzyl)-2, 5- d...

Polyfluoro-substituted unsymmetrical biaryl ethers were synthesized via a novel Ni-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of polyfluoroarenes with arylboronic acids and oxygen. The polyfluorinated arenes presumably captured the phenoxide intermediate efficiently, which made the oxygen-insertion proceed smoothly via the S(N)Ar protocol. The (18)O labeling experiment demonstrated that the oxygen intro...

Microwave dielectric heating proved to be an efficient method for the one-pot and stepwise syntheses of symmetrical and unsymmetrical naphthalenediimide derivatives of alpha-amino acids. Acid-labile side chain protecting groups are stable under the reaction conditions; protection of the alpha-carboxylic group is not required. The stepwise condensation of different amino acids resulted in high y...

Two tridentate and one bidentate binding strands have been anchored on a carbon atom to provide a new unsymmetrical tripodal ligand L for Ln(III) coordination. The ligand itself adopts a single conformation in solution stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds evidenced in the solid state. The reaction of L with trivalent lanthanides provides different coordination complexes depending on the ...

Quantum chemical calculations have been carried out to study the electronic structure of metalated ylides particularly in comparison to their neutral analogues, the bisylides. A series of compounds of the general composition Ph3 P-C-L with L being either a neutral or an anionic ligand were analyzed and the impact of the nature of the substituent L and the total charge on the electronics and bon...
