The title compound 4a, a purple transient whose main UV-vis absorption band occurs near 490 nm (epsilon = 5000 M-1 cm-1), has been generated by irradiation of 2,3,5,6-tetramethylene-7-oxonorbornane (5a). It has been observed directly by immobilization in f ...
The kinetics for the reactions of hypoiodous acid (HOI) with various phenols (phenol, 4-nitrophenol, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid), 3-oxopentanedioic acid (3-OPA) and flavone were investigated in the pH range of 6.0-11.0. The apparent second order rate constants ...
Five bonds form in one pot, from three well-designed yet readily accessible substrates. Simply mixing an o-alkynyl aniline, e.g., 2-H2NC6H4C==CCO2Me, an aldehyde, e.g., heptanal, and ammonium chloride in toluene at room temp., followed by addn. of an isocy ...
Chemical oxidants including ozone (O3), chlorine (HOCl/OCl-) and chlorine dioxide (ClO2) are applied for disinfection of drinking water. To cope with water scarcity and the increased risks associated with the presence of micropollutants, water treatment sy ...
The lactone motif is ubiquitous in natural products and pharmaceuticals. The Tishchenko disproportionation of two aldehydes, a carbonyl hydroacylation, is an efficient and atom-economic access to lactones. However, these reaction types are limited to the t ...
DNA biosensing requires high oligonudeotide binding capacity interface chemistries that can be tuned to maximize probe presentation as well as hybridization efficiency. This contribution investigates the feasibility of aldehyde-functionalized poly(2-hydrox ...
Tetrahydrofurans and pyrrolidines are among the most important heterocycles found in bioactive compounds. Cyclization-functionalization domino reactions of alcohols or amines onto olefins,constitute one of the most efficient methods to access them. In this ...
Norrish-type-II reaction on a semiquinone radical: Stable semiquinone radicals serve as novel molecular platforms on which a Norrish-type-II photoreaction can be initiated. A detailed reaction scheme involving a 1,5-hydrogen transfer followed by a cyclizat ...
