Synthesis of 3-Acyloxyindolenines by TiCl3-Mediated Reductive Cyclization of 2-(ortho-Nitroaryl)-Substituted Enol Esters

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Cyril Piemontesi, Dina Boyarskaya, Alberto Ongaro

In the presence of TiCl3, the reductive cyclization of tetrasubstituted enol esters bearing a 2-(ortho-nitroaryl) substituent affords 3-acyloxy-2,3-disubstituted indolenines in good yields. A domino process involving the partial reduction of nitro to a nit ...

Construction of Functional Superhydrophobic Biochars as Hydrogen Transfer Catalysts for Dehydrogenation of N-Heterocycles

Zhaowen Dong, Feng Zhou

To endow metal-free materials with the high catalytic activity that is typically featured by a metal-based catalyst is yet a constant pursuit in the field of catalytic chemistry. In this work, novel functional biochars (DCNs) were prepared from wheat straw ...

Action spectroscopy of deprotomer-selected hydroxycinnamate anions

Eduardo Carrascosa Casado

Tandem ion mobility mass spectrometry-coupled laser excitation is used to record photodetachment, photoisomerization and photodepletion action spectra for a series of deprotomer-selected hydroxycinnamate anions, including deprotonated caffeic, ferulic and ...
