Heterocycles are important compounds in organic chemistry. To introduce functional groups on heterocycles or synthesize functionalized heterocycles stays a hot topic of research. Among all the functional groups, alkynes attracted a lot of attention not onl ...
A new series of monoselenoquinone and diselenoquinone complexes, [((6)-p-cymene)Ru((4)-C6R4SeE)] (R=H, E=Se (6); R=CH3, E=Se (7); R=H, E=O (8)), as well as selenolate complexes [((6)-p-cymene)Ru((5)-C6H3R2Se)][SbF6] (R=H (9); R=CH3 (10)), stabilized by are ...
The electron self-exchange reaction CrCl(OH2)5(2+) + Cr(OH2)6(2+) -> Cr(OH2)(6)(2+) + CrCl(OH2)(5)(2+), proceeding via the inner-sphere pathway, was investigated with quantum-chemical methods. Geometry and vibrational frequencies of the precursor/successor ...
The reactivity of stable tertiary enamides in nucleophilic addition reaction with various in-situ generated imines was explored. Under very mild conditions, formyl-bearing tertiary enamides reacted with both aromatic and aliphatic amines to form imine inte ...
The base hydrolysis reaction of Co(NH3)5Cl2+ was investigated using density functional theory and molecular orbital methods. Geometries and energies of conjugate bases, intermediates, transition states, and minimum energy crossing points were computed. For ...
The reaction of tetranitromethane with B-alkylcatecholboranes leads to the formation of unusual dinitrooxime ethers. A tentative mechanism is provided, which suggests the involvement of extremely fast addition of alkyl radicals to tetranitromethane. The su ...
A -75 DegC, alpha-lithiated allyl Ph ether undergoes mainly the Wittig rearrangement to afford, after acidic hydrolysis, 1-phenyl-2-propen-1-ol as the main product. A second metalation taking place at one of the ortho positions is the sole competing side r ...
The organometallic approach to the functionalization of arenes and heteroarenes has recently been investigated by our group introducing modifications of the standard methods. This includes, in particular, the basicity-driven heavy halogen migration, which ...
The relative displacement rates of the halide substituent from 2-fluoro- and 2-chloropyridines by EtONa in EtOH at +25 Deg were assessed by competition kinetics. The 2-fluoropyridine reacts 320 times faster than the chloro analog. A CF3 group increases the ...
