Ferrocenyl-β-diketone ligands have been synthesised by the reaction of (ferrocenyl methyl) trimethyl ammonium iodide (FcCH2N Me3I ), where Fc=C5H5FeC5H4 – with sodium salt of -β-diketone [Na+CH-(COR1) (COR2), where R1= R2=CH 3, R1= CH 3 , R2=Ph, R1= R2=CMe 3 ]. The formula of the ligands (1-3) are FcCH 2 CH(COCH 3 )(COCH 3 ), FcCH 2 CH(COCH 3 )(COPh) and FcCH 2 CH(COCMe 3 ) 2 respectively. The ...

The lipophilicity of a series of Schiff base ligands and their complexes with nickel(II) and copper(II) has been determined by reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography using binary dioxane-water mobile phase. Chelate ligands were prepared by condensation of diamine and the corresponding beta-diketone. Copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes with chelate ligands containing ethane-1,2-diamine or prop...

2-(methylthio)-1,4-diaryl-2-butene-1,4-dione (3) are prepared from readily available aryl methyl ketones in the presence of copper(II) oxide, iodine, and dimethyl sulfoxide. The success of the cross-coupling reaction of 4-chloroacetophenone with 2-acetylthiophene confirms a proposed self-sorting tandem reaction mechanism. Both Z- and E-isomers of compound 3 are readily converted into the corres...

First generation product yields from the OH-initiated oxidation of methyl vinyl ketone (3-buten-2-one, MVK) under both low and high NO conditions are reported. In the low NO chemistry, three distinct reaction channels are identified leading to the formation of (1) OH, glycolaldehyde, and acetyl peroxy R2a , (2) a hydroperoxide R2b , and (3) an α-diketone R2c . The α-diketone likely results from...

The formal intramolecular photoredox reaction initially discovered for the parent 2-(hydroxymethyl)anthraquinone (1) in aqueous solution has been extended to a variety of anthraquinones derivatives 6-13, to explore the generality of the reaction, and to investigate its potential utility as a photodeprotecting chromophore. In addition, the related diketone 14 was studied to investigate the need ...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of additives on the water sorption characteristics of Bis-GMA based copolymers and composites containing TEGDMA, CH3Bis-GMA or CF3Bis-GMA. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifteen experimental copolymers and corresponding composites were prepared combining Bis-GMA and TEGDMA, CH3Bis-GMA or CF3Bis-GMA, with aldehyde or diketone (24 and 32 mol%) totaling 30 groups. For com...
