The title compound, [Ni(C(15)H(24)NSi)(2)], is a homoleptic metal-η(3)-aza-allyl centrosymmetric complex containing two aza-allyl ligands bound in an η(3)-manner to an Ni(II) atom located on a center of symmetry. The overall coordination about the Ni(II) atom is square-planar. The C and N atoms of the aza-allyl group are sp(2)-hybridized. The uneven Ni-C and Ni-N distances [2.045 (5)/2.060 (6) ...

A new family of amine- and ammonium-terminated hyperbranched polycarbosilanes (PCS) and dendrimers has been synthesized. The functionalization of a polycarbosilane matrix was carried out with peripheral allyl groups by two strategies in the case of PCS: 1) hydrosilylation of allyl amines with PCS containing terminal Si-H bonds, or 2) hydrosilylation of PCS-allyl with an aminosilane. Dendrimers ...

Predicting the results of collisions of polyatomic molecules with a bath of atoms is a research area that has attracted substantial interest in both experimental and theoretical chemistry. Energy transfer, which is the consequence of such collisions, plays an important role in gas-phase kinetics and relaxation of excited molecules. We present a study of energy transfer in single collisions of h...

The fumigant toxicity of various essential oils and selected monoterpenoid components were tested against the adult German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L.) (Dictyoptera: Blattellidae). Responses varied according to plant material, concentration, and exposure time. High insecticidal activity against adult B. germanica specimens was achieved with allyl isothiocyanate (component of horseradish)...

Organosulfur compounds (OSCs) present in garlic and onion oil have been shown to inhibit chemical carcinogenesis. In this study, we compared the chemopreventive efficacy of five lipid- and four water-soluble OSCs using the murine nuclear aberration assay. Administration of diallyl sulfide and S-allyl cysteine p.o. at a dose of 200 mg/kg 3 h prior to i.p. 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) injection (2...

An aquatic 24-hour lethality test using Caenorhabditis elegans was used to assess toxicity of glucosinolates and their enzymatic breakdown products. In the absence of the enzyme thioglucosidase (myrosinase), allyl glucosinolate (sinigrin) was found to be nontoxic at all concentrations tested, while a freeze-dried, dialyzed water extract of Crambe abyssinica containing 26% 2-hydroxyl 3-butenyl g...

Twenty-three naturally occurring and synthetic alkenylbenzene derivatives structurally related to the hepatocarcinogen safrole (1-allyl-3,4-methylenedioxybenzene) were assayed for their hepatocarcinogenicity in mice. Some of these compounds (safrole, estragole, eugenol, anethole, methyleugenol, myristicin, elemicin, and dill and parsley apiols) may be ingested in very small amounts by human as ...

the insertion of an olefinic c=c bond into a metal-carbon bond is of potential interest as a preparativeroute to new products and as results of c-c coupling reactions to organic compounds. the allyl compoundsof mg, react with an olefin by inversion of the allyl group via a six center transition state. these precyclicreactions may be one of the most important classes of organic reactions. the re...

A straightforward synthesis of 4,4-spirocyclic indol γ-lactams by tandem radical cyclization of iodoaryl allyl azides with CO was achieved. The reaction of iodoaryl allyl azides, TTMSS and AIBN under CO pressure (80 atm) in THF at 80 °C gave the desired 4,4-spirocyclic indoline, benzofuran, and oxindole γ-lactams in moderate to good yields.

A range of primary allylic amines were resolved with selectivity factors of up to 491 through [Pd(allyl)Cl]2/(S)-BINAP-catalyzed and mesitylsulfonyl hydrazide-accelerated asymmetric allylic alkylation of malononitriles involving enantioselective C-N bond cleavage under aerobic conditions. Moreover, the reaction proved useful for the asymmetric synthesis of α-branched allyl-substituted malononit...
