In the title compound, C(28)H(30)N(2)O(2), the cyclo-hexene ring system adopts a sofa conformation. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-H⋯O inter-actions between methyl H atoms of the ethyl substituents and the O atoms of carbonyl groups of adjacent mol-ecules, and by an inter-molecular carbon-yl-carbonyl inter-actions [3.207 (2) Å].

In situ prepared chromium catalysts containing bulky diphosphinoamine (PNP) ligands, upon activation with MAO, are extremely efficient catalysts for the trimerisation of ethylene to 1-hexene.

Two new chiral pre-ligands, (R)-3,3'-bis(tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)-2,2'-bismethoxy-1,1'-bisnaphthalene (1) and (R)-3-tetramethylcyclopentadienyl-2,2'-bismethoxy-1,1'-bisnaphthalene (2), were synthesized by reaction of (R)-3,3'-dilithium-2,2'-bismethoxy-1,1'-bisnaphthalene with 2,3,4,5-tetramethyl-2-cyclopentenone at room temperature. Treatment of the pre-ligands 1 and 2 with butyllithium and...

A novel imido-modified SiO2-supported Ti/Mg Ziegler-Natta catalyst for ethylene and ethylene/1-hexene polymerization is investigated. The catalyst is prepared by modification of (SiO2/MgO/MgCl2)TiClx Ziegler-Natta catalysts via supporting vanadium species followed by reaction with p-tolyl isocyanate as imido agents, to get the merits from both the SiO2-supported imido vanadium catalyst and the ...

PCNP diphosphines, in conjunction with Cr(acac)3, are excellent ethylene oligomerisation catalysts high activity and selectivity towards both 1-hexene 1-octene formation.

A concise synthesis of 3-(1-alkenyl)isoindolin-1-ones and 5-(1-alkenyl)pyrrol-2-ones has been achieved by the coupling reactions of N-acyliminium ions produced from 3-hydroxyisoindol-1-ones or 5-hydroxy-1-pyrrol-2-ones with unactivated olefins in the presence of BF(3)·OEt(2) at room temperature. For most of the olefins, the reactions afforded the C(sp3)-C(sp2) cross-coupling products, but for t...

In the title compound, C(28)H(33)NO(4)·CH(2)Cl(2), the pyrrolidone ring adopts a twisted envelope conformation and the cyclo-hexene has a half-chair conformation. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the components into chains along [100].

In the title compound, C20H18ClN3O3, the five- and six-membered heterocycles fused through a spiro C atom are inclined to each other at an angle of 87.4 (1)°. In the tricyclic ring system, the cyclo-hexene ring adopts an envelope conformation with the spiro atom as the flap. In the crystal, two sets of N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into columns containing centrosymmetric R 2 (2)(7) r...
