Halogen addition to some 1-C-substituted pyranoid glycals

A highly efficient dual catalysis approach for C-glycosylation: addition of (o-azaaryl)carboxaldehyde to glycals.

A novel and efficient dual catalysis approach by concurrent activation of glycals and (o-azaaryl)-carboxaldehydes using palladium and N-heterocyclic carbene has been developed. The two electrophiles could react after activation through formation of the Breslow intermediate and a π-allyl Pd complex, widening the scope of reacting glycosylation partners and opening up possibilities for future gly...

Bacterial O-methylation of halogen-substituted phenols.

Two strains of bacteria capable of carrying out the O-methylation of phenolic compounds, one from the gram-positive genus Rhodococcus and one from the gram-negative genus Acinetobacter, were used to examine the O-methylation of phenols carrying fluoro-, chloro-, and bromo-substituents. Zero-order rates of O-methylation were calculated from data for the chloro- and bromophenols; there was no sim...

Halogen-substituted thiophenol molecules on Cu(111).

Para-halosubstituted thiophenols (X-TPs, where X is Br, Cl, or F) form ordered islands and monolayers on Cu(111) at temperatures as low as 81 K. At incomplete coverages, all X-TPs adsorb with the dehydrogenated thiol group attached to the substrate and the substituted ring inclined toward the surface, as verified experimentally and theoretically. The structure of ordered islands has a pronounce...

Halogen substituted iron(III) di(imino)pyridine complexes as catalysts for 1- pentene/1-hexene co-oligomerization reactions

Nine different bis(arylimino)pyridine complexes of Fe(III) with different halide substituents (F, Cl, Br, I) at different positions of the iminophenyl group of the ligand have been synthesized, characterized and applied for homogeneous 1-pentene and 1-hexene oligomerization and co-oligomerization reactions after activation with methylaluminoxane (MAO). The best activity in 1-hexene oligomerizat...
