A Na(2)CO(3)-promoted addition of phenols to propiolonitriles generated (Z)-3-aryloxy-acrylonitriles in nearly quantitative yields with exclusively Z-isomers, and a DABCO-promoted addition reaction of phenols with propiolonitriles afforded mainly (E)-3-aryloxy-acrylonitriles with high yields. The obtained (E)-3-aryloxy-acrylonitriles underwent intramolecular cyclization to give 3-cyanobenzofura...

To overcome the main challenge of low performance waterborne polymer coatings due to particulate nature dispersions and complex film formation process, in this work we implemented strategy ionic complexation between oppositely charged particles. For that aim, doubled monomers ithaconic acid (IA) styrenic 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) were used densely functionalize (meth)acrylic forming...

A one-pot, two step synthesis of highly substituted imidazoles has been carried out in good to excellent yields for the first time via a cascade intermolecular aza-SN2'-intramolecular aza-Michael addition involving a variety of Morita-Baylis-Hillman acetates of nitroalkenes and amidines in the presence of DABCO at room temperature. The synthetic and biological utility of the products has been d...

A highly effective (1)H NMR method for determining the absolute configurations of various chiral α-hydroxyl acids and their derivatives has been developed with the use of bisthioureas (R)-CSA 1 and (S)-CSA 1 as chiral solvating agents in the presence of DABCO, giving distinguishable proton signals with up to 0.66 ppm chemical shift nonequivalence. Computational modeling studies were performed w...

The 1:1 co-crystallization of 1,4-di-aza-bicyclo-[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) with 4-nitro-benzoic acid in ethanol-water (3/1) gave the salt dihydrate C6H13N2 (+)·C7H4NO4 (-)·2H2O, (1), whereas from methanol, the salt C6H14N2 (2+)·2C7H4NO4 (-), (2), was isolated. In (1), the cation and anion are linked by a strong N-H⋯O hydrogen bond, and the carboxyl-ate anion is close to planar [dihedral angle betwe...

Flexible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) can undergo fascinating structural transitions triggered by external stimuli, such as adsorption/desorption of specific guest molecules or temperature changes. In this detailed study we investigate the potentials and limitations of tuning framework flexibility systematically by exploiting the powerful concept of mixed-linker solid solutions. We chose the...

The work interprets experimental data for the heat capacity of Zn2(BDC)2(DABCO) in region second-order phase transitions. proposed understanding processes occurring during transitions may be helpful to reveal quantum Zeno effects metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) with evolving (unstable) structural subsystems and establish relations between measurements entropy
