The increasing progress in medicinal chemistry and chemical biology requires more versatile synthetic strategies for the generation of libraries of active compounds and theirs analogues. A wide range of biologically active natural and synthetic compounds c ...
Ozonation is an efficient treatment system to reduce the concentration of trace organic compounds (TrOCs) from technical aquatic systems such as drinking water, wastewater and industrial water, etc. Although it is well established that ozonation generally ...
The first Pd(0)-catalyzed intramolecular oxy- and aminoalkynylation of nonactivated olefins is reported. The reaction gives access to important tetrahydrofuran and pyrrolidine heterocycles with high diastereoselectivity. The unique synthetic potential of a ...
Sequential intermolecular atom transfer radical addition reactions of activated dichlorides Cl2CRR′ (R = CN, CO2Et, R′ = H, CN, CO2Et) with two olefins catalyzed by [Cp*RuCl2(PPh3)] in the presence Mg allow the synthesis of linear 1,5-dichlorides. Differen ...
Dimensionally Stable Anodes (DSA®) are electrodes composed of a metal support and an oxide coating (catalyst). Particularly in this thesis, the Ti/IrO2 electrode was used for the study of the fraction of the surface which participates effectively in the in ...
The catalytic activity of [Cp*OsBr2(PPh3)] in conjunction with Mg has been evaluated for atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) and cyclization (ATRC) reactions. The Os complex enabled these reactions to be performed with similar efficiency as that of the a ...
Grafting of [W( NAr)(=CHtBu)(2,5-Me2NC4H2)(2)] on a silica partially clehydroxylated at 700 degrees C (SiO2-(700)) generates the corresponding monosiloxy complex [( SiO)W( NAr)(=CHtBu)(2,5-Me2NC4H2)] as the major species (approximate to 90%) along with [( ...
Sulphur dioxide reacts with 1-oxydienes generating zwitterions which are quenched by enoxysilanes to form substituted silyl alkenylsulfinates. These intermediates are desilylated with Bu4NF and the resulting sulfinates react with MeI giving the correspondi ...
The reaction of half-sandwich complexes of ruthenium, rhodium, and iridium with amino-substituted 3-hydroxy-2-pyridone ligands in aqueous solution gives monomeric O,O'-chelate complexes. Upon addition of base, the complexes assemble to form trimeric metall ...
Enhanced activity, lower catalyst loading, shorter reaction time, and expanded substrate scope are the advantages of [Mn(dpm)3] over Co catalysts in the hydrohydrazination reaction of alkenes. Thus, sterically hindered alkenes, including tetrasubstituted a ...
