The application of the [Pd{C6H3(CH2CH2NH2)-4-OMe-5-κ2-C,N}(μ-Br)]2 complex of 2-methoxyphenethylamine in the Heck coupling reaction was considered under both conventional and microwave irradiation conditions, and their results were compared. This complex is an efficient, stable and non-sensit...

a fi zr-based catalyst of bis[n-(3,5-dicumylsalicylidene)-2′,6′­diisopropylanilinato]zirconium(iv) dichloride was prepared and used for polymerization of ethylene. the effects of reaction conditions on the polymerization were examined in detail. the increase in ethylene pressure and rise in polymerization temperature up to 35 oc were favorable for catalyst/mao to raise the catalytic activity as...

Hydrosilylation of triethoxysilane with the mixture ortho- and para-divinylbenzene in presen¬ce Karstedt’s catalyst has been carried out corresponding product triethoxy(vinylphenethyl)silane have obtained. The structure composition obtained were proved by means determining molecular mass, refraction, 1H 13C NMR spectra data. It was found that addition reaction proceeds both ortho-position as we...

The majority of N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzed reactions of α-functionalized aldehydes, including annulations, oxidations, and redox reactions, occur more rapidly with N-mesityl substituted NHCs. In many cases, no reaction occurs with NHCs lacking ortho-substituted aromatics. By careful competition studies, catalyst analogue synthesis, mechanistic investigations, and consideration of the elem...

The synthesis of tris(ortho-carboranyl)borane (BoCb3), a single site neutral Lewis superacid, in one pot from commercially available materials is achieved. high fluoride ion affinity (FIA) confirms its classification as superacid and the Gutmann-Beckett method well adducts with bases indicate stronger acidity over widely used fluorinated aryl boranes. electron withdrawing effect ortho-carborane...

This chapter describes a comprehensive computational study on the template-assisted and Pd(OAc)2-catalyzed meta-selective C–H olefination reaction. The reaction mechanism, the active form of catalyst, the potential role of silver salt and the origin of meta-selectivity were investigated in this work. The computational results demonstrated that the conventionally proposed monomeric Pd(OAc)2 mode...

An unprecedented technique for the in situ generation of indolyl ortho-quinodimethanes from 2-methylindole-based methylenemalononitriles by amine-mediated remote C(sp(3) )-H deprotonation was developed. These intermediates were efficiently trapped by diverse enals to provide a rapid entry to 2,9-dihydro-1H-carbazole-3-carboxyaldehyde structures through a formal asymmetric [4+2] eliminative cycl...

In the present work, the transformation of m-xylene was studied over fresh and pre-coked HZSM-5 catalyst in a riser simulator over the temperature range of 350-500C.Significant differences were observed in both the activity and product selectivity pattern for the two forms of the catalyst. While, the fresh catalyst generally gave higher m-xylene conversion, the pre-coked catalyst produced highe...
