Stilbene type olefins can be prepd. with cis-stereoselectivities approaching 95:5 if tris(2-methoxymethoxyphenyl)phosphine derived ylides are employed and the reaction is carried out at -75 Deg. Thus, treating phosphonium ylide I with p-MeOC6H4CHO in THF c ...
The proton mobilities (kinetic acidities) of bis- and tris(trifluoromethyl)benzene are dictated to a large extent by steric factors; the trifluoromethyl group is a fairly bulky substituent that can seriously impede the approach of the metalating reagent. M ...
Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) imaging is employed to characterize the surface of patterned noble metal (Pt) and titania (TiO2) thin films deposited on oxidized silicon wafers. ToF-SIMS is used to follow the different process ste ...
Tris(2-methoxymethoxyphenyl)phosphine was readily quaternized when treated with Me bromoacetate. The resulting phosphornium salt was deprotonated to give the corresponding ylide (2-MeOCH2OC6H4)3P+CH-CO2Me (I). I reacted with satd., unsatd., or a-alkoxy sub ...
The reaction of the aminophosphane C6H4(o-CN)NHPPh2 with elemental potassium in the presence of 18-crown-6 affords the phosphinoamide-containing complex [C6H4(o-CN)N-PPh2(THF)(18-Crown-6)K] which has been fully characterised in solution and the solid state ...
In a water/chlorobenzene biphasic reaction, the hydrogenation of trans-cinnamaldehyde, catalyzed by water-soluble Ru(II)-phosphane complexes at pH 3.04 (phosphate buffer), produces a 61:39 mixture of cinnamyl alcohol and dihydrocinnamaldehyde at 1 bar H-2; ...
Triphenylphosphoniomethanide and alkyl-substituted analogs are torsionally unrestricted even at -100 Deg whereas the temp. dependence of the rotation around the Ca, Ph axis in triphenylphosphoniophenylmethanide reveals this ylide to be resonance stabilized ...
Endosseous implant to be applied to a human or animal bone, said implant having a smooth or rough surface texture and wherein said surface has been treated with at least one organic compound carrying at least one phosphonic acid group or a salt thereof and ...

The reaction of the cluster complexes [Pt-3(mu -CO)(3)(PR3)(3)] (PR3 = PPh3 1, PPh(2)Bz 2, PCy3 3 and P(i)pr(3) 4) with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylate, R'O2CC drop CCO2R' (R= CH3 or Bu-t) have been examined under various conditions. At low temperature the ...
Mixing a finely pulverized alkyltriphenylphosphonium salt and potassium hydride in 1:1 molar ratio gives a ready-to-use powder the components of which react rapidly when tert-Bu Me ether is added under stirring. When, in general after a few minutes, the ge ...
