One of the industries with high potential for energy saving is the petrochemical industry. Ethylene and propylene production plants (olefin plants) – as a part of the petrochemical industry – are very energy intensive. So, any try to improve their energy consumption efficiency could lead to a high amount of energy saving. Iran’s petrochemical industry uses old technologies and components and du...

A multidentate and flexible diolefin-diphosphine ligand, based on the dibenzylidene acetone core, namely dbaphos (1), is reported herein. The ligand adopts an array of different geometries at Pt, Pd and Rh. At Pt(II) the dbaphos ligand forms cis- and trans-diphosphine complexes and can be defined as a wide-angle spanning ligand. (1)H NMR spectroscopic analysis shows that the β-hydrogen of one o...

1- (Phthalazin-l'-yl-amino)-3-chloro-4-aryl-4H-(4o-rm ethyl)-2-azetidinones (3) were prepared by cycloaddition of-methyl substituted benzal hydrazinophthalazine (2) with chloro acetylchloride. The hydrazone (2) was synthesised by the condensation of 1- hydrazinophthalazine (1) with substituted aromatic aldehydes, ketones 7 acetophenones. 1- Hydrazinophthalazine was prepared from the phthal...

Methyltrioxorhenium (MTO) complexed with pyridine was shown to be a highly effective catalyst for the regioselective monoepoxidation of conjugated di- and trienes using 30% H2O2 at or below room temperature. The resultant allylic epoxides, and the triols derived from them, are versatile synthetic intermediates as well as substructures present in many bioactive natural products. The site of epox...

Five years have passed since the first publication of the Thematic Series on Olefin Metathesis in the Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry [1]. During these years the research continued to progress at full speed. Astute readers of this Thematic Series, as well as readers of the recent books devoted to olefin metathesis [2,3], can easily see that a great number of studies in this field have ad...

The cycloisomerization of 1,5-enynes catalyzed by cationic triphenylphosphinegold(I) complexes produces bicyclo[3.1.0]hexenes. Substitution at all positions of the 1,5-enyne is tolerated, leading to a wide range of bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane structures, including those containing quaternary carbons. Substrates containing a 1,2-disubstituted olefin undergo stereospecific cycloisomerization (cis-olefin...

              The present work is focused on the degradation of 4-chloro-2-nitrophenol in aqueous solution containing nano titanium dioxide, hydrogen peroxide and the combination of nano-TiO2/H2O2. The effect of experimental parameters, such as the amount of nano- TiO2 concentration of H2O2, initial concentration of 4-chloro-...

Selective transformation of 2-propargylthio-6-methyl-pyrimidin-4(1H)On e (2) to 3,5-dimethyl-7H-thiazolo [3,2-a] pyrimidin-7-one (3) is performed under the conditionof base catalysis . For elucidation of structure, palladium catalyzed cyclization reaction of (2) was carried out and the structures of the products were assigned (5) and (6). These compounds underwent isomerization to (3) and (4...

Protonation of the reactive intermediate produced in the  reaction between trimethyl phosphite and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate or diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate by resorcinol, 5-methylresorcinol, 2,5-dihydroxyacetophenone, 4-chloro-2-methylphenol, 4-chloro-3,5-dimethy-lphenol, 4-hydroxypyridine, 2-hydroxypyridine, 3-hydroxypyridine, or 8-hydroxyquinoline leads to vinylphosphonium salts,...

Objective(s): Melatonin, an important hormone secreted by the epiphysis, is a powerful anti-oxidant with a high potential to neutralize medical toxins. The goal of this study was to demonstrate the beneficial effect of melatonin on epididymal sperm and reproductive parameters in mice treated with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA).Materials and Methods:</stro...
