The three-component Povarov reaction of aldehydes, anilines, and benzyl N-vinylcarbamate in the presence of 0.1 equiv of chiral phosphoric acid afforded cis-2,4-disubstituted tetrahydroquinolines, e.g. I, in good yields and excellent enantiomeric excesses. ...
The photo-curing behavior of composites containing nanosized SiO2 in an acrylated hyperbranched polymer matrix was investigated by means of photo differential scanning calorimetry. The chemical conversion data were analyzed using an autocatalytic model, pa ...
Reaction of aldehydes, anilines, and enecarbamates in dichloromethane in the presence of EtOH and a catalytic amt. of chiral phosphoric acid I afforded the Mannich adducts which were in situ reduced to anti-1,2-disubstituted 1,3-diamines II in excellent di ...
Ring strain confers to the cyclopropane ring an exceptional reactivity. Nevertheless, activation of the cyclopropane ring is usually needed to allow ring-opening reactions under mild conditions. The introduction of one or several carbonyl functionalities o ...
The heat flow reaction calorimetry technique was developed for reactions with supercrit. fluids and was applied to monitor the free-radical dispersion polymn. of Me methacrylate in supercrit. carbon dioxide (scCO2). The main math. equation for the calorime ...
Kinetic and spectroscopic analyses were performed to gain information about the mechanism of atom-transfer radical reactions catalyzed by the complexes [RuCl2Cp*(PPh3)] and [RuClCp*(PPh3)2] (Cp*=pentamethylcyclopentadienyl), in the presence and in the abse ...
Proteolysis with proteases preloaded within nanopores of porous material is a very fast process, where proteins can be digested in minutes compared to the conventional bulk enzyme reactions taking place over hours. To model this surprising phenomenon, a mo ...
The reaction of aldehydes, amines and TMSCN in the presence of 2-iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) afforded alpha -iminonitriles, e.g. 4-MeOC6H4C(C==N):NCH2CH2Ph, in good to excellent yields under mild conditions. The presence ...
The ignition delay times of CH4/C2H6/C3H8 mixtures representative of an average natural gas composition have been measured in a rapid compression machine (RCM) at the University of Lille. The pressure at the end of compression (EOC) varied from 13 to 21 ba ...
The Diels-Alder reaction has been examd. in room temp. ionic liqs. with high molar concns. of Lewis acids under various conditions. A molar ratio of 10% catalyst gave a large increase in the selectivity and the yield of the reaction. The effect of catalyst ...
