1,11-Dien-6-ynes undergo cycloisomerization in the presence of the cobalt catalytic system CoBr2/phosphine ligand/Zn/ZnI2 giving cyclohexene, diene or cyclopropane structures depending on the type of the phosphine ligand. This unpredictable behaviour suggests that, although the availability of the cobalt catalytic system is appealing, the development of well-defined catalysts is desirable for f...

the cross-coupling reaction between phenylboronic acid and various types of aryl halides (suzuki reaction) was carried out using a catalytic amount of a new palladium catalyst (1-benzyl-3-(1-benzyl-1-methylpyrrolidin-1-ium-2-yl) pyridin-1-ium palladium chloride [dbnt][pdcl4]) in poly (ethylene glycol) (peg-200) in the presence of koh as the base. this new catalyst was synthesized and characteri...

Two novel Sb(III) and Sb(V) peri-substituted acenaphthene phosphorus−antimony compounds were prepared. The compound, 1, was prepared via reacting the organolithium precursor with dichloro(p-tolyl)Stibine, 2 by chlorination of 1. Both 1 characterized multinuclear (1H, 13C 31P) NMR spectroscopy, their molecular structures resolved single-crystal X-ray diffraction. show a dative P−Sb interaction a...

Phosphine-free ruthenium benzylidene complexes containing imidazole ligands are reported. These catalysts effective for ring-closing metathesis (RCM) and cross-metathesis (CM) reactions at high temperatures, where the more widely used phosphine-containing N-heterocyclic carbene-based show side reactions. This discovery opens up a pathway to develop selective requiring harsh conditions.

In their article McDaniel et al. (2005) presented three case studies, one involving an evaluation by Sciences International, Inc. (Pepelko et al. 2004), of which I am the president and CEO. This case study was related to the reregistration of phosphine by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). McDaniel et al. (2005) make two principal accusations: a) that I improperly used my status as...

We report a one-step synthesis of the phosphine, PPh(2)(i)C(3)F(7) from commercially available precursors. The stereoelectronic properties of the phosphine were probed by coordination to transition metals. Mo(CO)(5)PPh(2)(i)C(3)F(7) was synthesised and the synthesis and structure of trans-PtCl(2)(PPh(2)(i)C(3)F(7))(2) are described. PPh(2)(i)C(3)F(7) was found to be a bulky electron-withdrawing...

Hydride gases, such as phosphine and arsine, are important contaminants in process chemicals used in both the petrochemical and semiconductor industries. For example, the presence of phosphine, arsine, hydrogen sulfide and carbonyl sulfide in polymer grade ethylene or propylene can have a deleterious effect on catalysts used in the production of polypropylene plastics. Accurate data on the conc...

Two new Zn(II) complexes have been prepared and evaluated for their capacity to activate and reduce CO2. The electrochemical properties of dichlorobis[diphenyl-(2-pyridyl)phosphine-κ(1)-N]zinc(II) [corrected]. and dichloro[diphenyl-(2-pyridyl)phosphine-κ(1)-N]zinc(II) 2 are compared using cyclic voltammetry. Electrochemical results indicate that 2 leads to a facilitated CO2 reduction to evolve ...

The title compound crystallized as an ethanol solvate, C(18)H(18)N(3)OP·C(2)H(6)O. It is the reduction product of tris-(3-nitro-phen-yl)phosphine oxide. In the crystal, there are inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between neighbouring tris-(3-amino-phen-yl)phosphine oxide mol-ecules and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the ethanol solvent mol-ecule.

A series of new triazolopyridine-based phosphines has been prepared. These compounds revealed unexpected spectroscopic patterns. In particular, the NMR spectra are highly dependent on the relative conformational preference of the phosphine substituent at C7. Here, we report on their complete NMR analysis, X-ray structures and DFT calculations that confirm the particular arrangement of the phosp...
