1-Bromo-3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene was selectively prepd. by treatment of 1,3-bis(fluoromethyl)benzene with N,N'-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin in strongly acidic media. A no. of synthetically useful reactions via 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylmagnesiu ...
A systematic comparison between 1,3-difluorobenzene, 1,3-dichlorobenzene, and 1,3-dibromobenzene did not reveal major differences in their behavior towards strong bases such as lithium diisopropylamide or lithium 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidide. Thus, all 2, ...
The polymn. of isoprene induced by alkyl lithium compds. in hydrocarbon solvents is known to proceed with a high stereoselectivity to (Z)-1,4-polyisoprene. We have studied the initiation step of this reaction with the help of ab initio mol. dynamics simula ...
Lithium is widely used in psychotherapy. The Li-6 isotope has a long intrinsic longitudinal relaxation time T-1 on the order of minutes, making it an ideal candidate for hyperpolarization experiments. In the present study we demonstrated that lithium-6 can ...
A novel lithium salt, cyclobutane-1,1-dicarboxylic lithium was synthesized and characterized by NMR, IR, ESI-MS, X-ray single crystal analysis, and TG/DTG (TGA) thermal analysis. The crystal structure information reveals the coordination polymer nature and ...
A future fusion reactor will use deuterium and tritium as fuel. The former is found in abundance in seawater, while the latter is not available naturally due to its short lifetime. Present developments in the context of fusion propose generating tritium in ...
Down syndrome (DS) is the most frequent cause of cognitive disability in children and adults. It has been reported that defects in neurogenesis occur both during development and adulthood and possibly underlie cognitive dysfunction associated with DS. Rece ...
A combination of weak Lewis acid (LiCl) and weak Bronsted acid (hexafluoroisopropanol, HFIP) promotes efficiently the Friedel-Crafts reaction of electron-rich arom. compds. with Et glyoxylate. [on SciFinder (R)] ...
Dopamine replacement therapy is useful for treating motor symptoms in the early phase of Parkinson's disease, but it is less effective in the long term. Electrical deep-brain stimulation is a valuable complement to pharmacological treatment but involves a ...
