The organometallic approach to the functionalization of arenes and heteroarenes has recently been investigated by our group introducing modifications of the standard methods. This includes, in particular, the basicity-driven heavy halogen migration, which ...
The objective of this study was to unravel the structural properties responsible for the partitioning of solutes in o‐nitrophenyl octyl ether (o‐NPOE)/H2O, a new solvent system for the determination of the partition coefficients of ions. A set of 88 compou ...
The reactivity of phenolic compounds can be drastically affected by the electronic nature of substituents and by their positions in the aromatic ring. In this work, structure effect on the photoreactivity via TiO2 catalysis is studied using several substit ...
Two successive brominations of 8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]oct-6-en-2-one 6 provided 3-exo,6-exo,7-endo-tribromo-7oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-2-endo-one 10 with high stereoselectivity. NaBH4 reduced 10 into 3-exo, 6-exo,7-endo-tribromo-8-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-2-endo-ol ...
This research contributes to the study and development of a new degradation technique that couples solar and biological processes for the treatment of biorecalcitrant, nonbiodegradable, and/or toxic organic substances present in the aqueous medium. Efficie ...
The proton mobilities (kinetic acidities) of bis- and tris(trifluoromethyl)benzene are dictated to a large extent by steric factors; the trifluoromethyl group is a fairly bulky substituent that can seriously impede the approach of the metalating reagent. M ...
The inductive electron-withdrawing effect of the pos. charged P atom in triarylphosphine-BH3 adducts is largely compensated by the steric congestion caused in its vicinity. Therefore, Ph3P.BH3 reacts only sluggishly even with superbasic reagents, and produ ...
With reactivity being the most important integral reactor physics quantity - and simultaneously the one that can be measured with the highest accuracy there is a great interest in understanding how possible space- and energy-dependent data and/or modeling ...
