Hetero Diels-Alder reaction of oxadienes with 3,4-epoxy-2-methyleneoxolanes gave the corresponding 3,4-epoxy-1,6-dioxaspiro[4,5]-dec-7-enes with high stereoselectivity. Good yields of adducts were obtained in the presence of mild Lewis acis, such as zinc o ...
An easy prepn. of the title compds. involving a SRN1 o-arylation of phenolates by o-bromobenzonitrile followed by SiO2-catalyzed lactonization is described. Activated or not activated phenols are efficient. Access to benzonaphthopyranones is exemplified by ...
H2C:CHCH2OR (R = tetrahydropyranyl) gave a mixt. of H2C:CHCHR1OH and R1CHCH2CHO after metalation and reaction with an electrophilic agent R1X, whereas metalation of MeCH:CHOR (R = tetrahydropyranyl) with EtCHMeLi, followed by reaction with MeI and acid hyd ...
The reverse water gas shift reaction is considered to be a highly attractive catalytic route for CO2 recycling in a future sustainable economy. Copper-based catalysts are commonly used for this reaction due to their high activity and selectivity. However, ...
Benzene and all mono-, di-, tri, tetra-, and pentafluoro-substituted derivs. thereof were equilibrated with the corresponding aryl anions in the gas phase. Perfect additivity of the substituent effects on the acidity was obsd. The basicities were diminishe ...
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) was obsd. between donor dye mols. deposited onto the sample surface and acceptor dye mols. deposited onto the scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM) or at. force microscope tip. FRET was obsd. only when ...
