New Synthetic Routes toC-Amino Phosphorus Ylides and their Subsequent Fragmentation into Carbenes and Phosphines

New synthetic routes to furocoumarins and their analogs: a review.

Many furocoumarins and their analogs possess a prominent photobiological activity. Some of them are successfully used as drugs in phototherapy of skin diseases. Fries rearrangement of acyloxyheteroarenes, condensation of acylhydroxyheteroarenes with alpha-carbonyl compounds under base catalysis and transformations of dihydrofurocoumarinones are new trends in synthesis of furocoumarins and their...

Carbenes stabilized by ylides: pushing the limits.

Synthetic routes to new physics

metals individually: it does not matter too much what the other electrons are doing. Technically, if the behaviour of one electron is essentially independent of the others, one says that the electrons are ‘uncorrelated’. In contrast, an accurate description of electronic correlations in molecules is often essential if one is to make usefully accurate predictions. However, electronic correlation...

Versatile routes to selenoether functionalised tertiary phosphines.

New selenoether functionalised tertiary phosphines, based on aryl (2a, 2b) or alkyl (4) backbones, have been synthesised and characterised. P,Se-chelation has been achieved upon complexation to square-planar Pt(II) (3a) or Pd(II) (3b) metal centres. For 3a and 3b, weak non-covalent M...Se contacts were established using single crystal X-ray crystallography.

F1-A1: Synthetic routes to new and improvised high explosives

The project deals with alternative routes for synthesis of triacetonetriperoxide (TATP) without the use of liquid peroxides. The research aims to explore commonly available chemicals which can be used as precursors along with ‘over the counter’ materials which have the ability to produce TATP. One of the most promising chemicals for the synthesis of TATP are percarbonates giving yields higher t...
