The palladium-catalyzed functionalization of alkenes is a versatile transformation in synthetic chemistry, but intermolecular processes often suffer from low reactivity and selectivity. Molecular tethers can be introduced to answer these challenges. They have been used successfully for decades, their installation removal normally required multi-step procedures. In this review, we will present p...

This paper examines the unimolecular dissociation of propargyl (HCCCH2) radicals over a range of internal energies to probe the CH+HCCH and C+C2H3 bimolecular reactions from the radical intermediate to products. The propargyl radical was produced by 157 nm photolysis of propargyl chloride in crossed laser-molecular beam scattering experiments. The H-loss and H2 elimination channels of the nasce...

Betaine hydrochloride (BHC), as an ionic salt was found to be an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of 4-thiazolidinediones. The methodology of study was achieved by one-pot condensation of aromatic aldehydes, aromatic amine and mercaptoacetic acid in the presence of betaine hydrochloride (BHC) at reflux temperature in ethanol as solvent. The efficiency of Betaine hydro...

Deboronation and cage rearrangement of the closo-1,12-carborane salt [1,12-(PPh2Me)2-1,12-C2B10H10]I2 occurs in refluxing methanol to give the zwitterionic nido-7,9-carborane 7,9-(PPh2Me)2-7,9-C2B9H9. Notably, deboronation and cage substitution of the isomeric closo-1,7-carborane salt [1,7-(PPh2Me)2-1,7-C2B10H10]I2 takes place in methanol to afford the salt [10-OMe-7,9-(PPh2Me)2-7,9-C2B9H9]I.

The transition-metal-catalyzed rearrangement of 5-alkynals to gamma-alkynylketones and 1-cyclopentenylketones was developed using [Rh(P(OPh)3)2]BF4 or Cu(OTf)2 as a catalyst.

In the title salt, C(6)H(9)N(2) (+)·NO(3) (-), the 2-amino-5-methyl-pyridinium cation and the nitrate anion are cyclically linked through pyridinium and amine N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds [graph set R(4) (3)(12)]. These units are extended into a zigzag chain structure lying parallel to the a axis, through a second cyclic R(2) (2)(8) association involving amine N-H⋯O and aromatic C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to...
