A reaction scheme has been devised according to 3 RX + 3 Ti(III) + 0.25 P4→ PR3 + 3 XTi(IV) wherein RX = PhBr, CyBr, Me3SiI, or Ph3SnCl with contrasting results in the case of more hindered RX; the scheme accomplishes direct radical functionalization of white phosphorus without intermediacy of PCl3. It is known that P4, white phosphorus, has excellent properties as a trap for carboncentered rad...

The O-tosylsalicylamide S3I-201 (10) was used as a starting point for design and synthesis of novel STAT-3 dimerization inhibitors with improved drug-like qualities. The phosphonic acid 12d and salicylic acids 13f, 13g with a shorter amide linker lacking the O-tosyl group had improved STAT-3 inhibitory activity. The equivalent potencies observed by the replacement of phosphonic acid moiety of 1...

OBJECTIVES The paper gives an overview on the components and the polymer chemical aspects of currently used self-etching enamel-dentin primers/adhesives. In addition, the contribution of new adhesives monomers and cross-linkers exhibiting enhanced hydrolytic stability than methacrylates to improve the performance of single-bottle adhesives is discussed. SOURCES Information from original scien...

Electrodes in dye sensitised solar cells are typically nanocrystalline anatase TiO2 with a majority (1 0 1) surface exposed. Generally the sensitising dye employs a carboxylic anchoring moiety through which it adheres to the TiO₂ surface. Recent interest in exploiting the properties of differing TiO₂ electrode morphologies, such as rutile nanorods exposing the (1 1 0) surface and anatase electr...

Rhodium(iii)-catalyzed C-H olefination of aryl phosphonic esters is reported for the first time. In this mild and efficient process, the phosphonic ester group is utilized successfully as a new directing group. In addition, mono-olefination for aryl phosphonates is observed using a phosphonic diamide directing group.

Streptomyces regensis strain WC-3744 was identified as a potential phosphonic acid producer in a large-scale screen of microorganisms for the presence of the pepM gene, which encodes the key phosphonate biosynthetic enzyme phosphoenolpyruvate phosphonomutase. (31)P NMR revealed the presence of several unidentified phosphonates in spent medium after growth of S. regensis. These compounds were pu...

Depending on reaction conditions, the phosphonylation of N-alkylacetamides with H3PO3-P C I3 in B-HC1 media (B = Py, Bu3N) gives either l-alkylaminoethylidene-l,l-bisphosphonic acids (la—e) or previously unknown l-alkylaminobutane-l,l,3,3-tetrayl-tetrakisphosphonic dianhydrides (2a-e). The latter convert into monocyclic forms (3a-e) under mild acidic hydrolysis. Acyclic forms (4a-e) cannot be i...

Microdroplets show unique chemistry, especially in their intrinsic redox properties, and to this we here add a case of simultaneous spontaneous oxidation reduction. We report the concurrent conversions several phosphonates phosphonic acids by reduction (R?P ? H?P) pentavalent phosphoric oxidation. The experimental results suggest that active reagent is water radical cation/anion pair. cation ob...

The work described in part I of this thesis is concerned with the development of a number of approaches designed to generate alkyl metaphosphates in solution. In each approach the final reaction step involves the crucial breakdown of a suitable precursor with a or-bond being both broken and formed at a central phosphorus atom. Two main routes to alkyl metaphosphates were investigated. The first...
