Homo- and heterobimetallic complexes of the late transitions metals have been synthesized by metathesis reactions of the corresponding chloro-bridged dimers. These reactions have the advantage of being fast and giving rise to structurally defined products ...
A new one-pot synthesis of sulfoxides is presented. It involves the bora-ene reaction of sulfur dioxide and prop-2-ene-1-boronic esters, giving mixed anhydrides of sulfinic and boric acids. The latter react chemoselectively at the sulfur center with Grigna ...
Synthesis, properties and reactions of two isomeric dipyrido-1,4-dithiins of the C-2h and C-2v symmetry are described. Their structure detennination and identification are based on spectroscopic methods (H-1 and C-13 NMR, HETCOR, gHMBC and MS), physical pr ...
During the last decades, weakly coordinating anions (WCAs) have become a field of great interest both in basic and applied chemistry, as – if compared to "normal" classical anions like Cl- or SO42- – they have a lot of unique and unusual properties, such a ...
The nucleation andthe crystal growth rates of mixed nickel manganese oxalates have been determined from the changes of the ionic concentration of the solution and the crystal size distribution during the precipitation process within a supersaturation range ...
The reaction of 1-bromo-3-halo-2-iodobenzene (I; X = Cl) with butyllithium gives 62% (II; X = Cl) similarly reaction of [I; X = F(III)] gave 64% II (X = F). These reactions involve the immediate intermediacy of the halolithiobiphenyl (IV) and the penultima ...
Aryl and alkenyl sulfonyl chlorides can be used in Heck-Mizoroki-type couplings with mono- and disubstituted olefins in a nitrile-functionalized ionic liquid, viz. [C3CNpy][Tf2N]. Advantages over previously reported methods include: (1) use of a cheap cat ...
Following several tragic chemical accidents that have occurred in recent years, some directives concerning chemical process safety have been issued. The Seveso directive, for example, requires a precise description of the consequences of a possible chemica ...
A new system combining a microreactor and a microcalorimetric chip was investigated. The small size of the microreactor channel permits maintaining isothermal conditions necessary for the kinetic characterization of highly exothermic reactions. These condi ...
Formation of racemic pentose-2,4-bisphosphates is demonstrated, starting from glycolaldehyde phosphate and glyceraldehyde-2-phosphate, and induced by mixed valence double layer metal hydroxide minerals. The reactions proceed from dil. aq. reactant solns. ( ...
