The title compound, C(10)H(14)N(2)O(3)·H(2)O, was synthesized by alkyl-ation of methyl 3-(1H-pyrrole-2-carboxamido)-propion-ate with ethyl bromide, followed by saponification and acidification. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules, forming layers parallel to the ac plane.

1,2-Annulated pyrrolo[2,1,5-de]quinolizin-5-ones (cycl[3.3.2]azin-5-ones) 6a-6k, 8a-8b and 9 have been synthesized by one pot tandem reactions of 2-acetyl-N-phenacylpyridinium bromides (1a-1d) with electron-deficient cyclic alkenes (N-alkyl(aryl)maleimides, benzoquinones and naphthoquinone) in the presence of sodium carbonate as a base and tetrakispyridinecobalt(II) dichromate (TPCD) as an oxid...

A simplistic green and neat procedure was developed for the synthesis of arylmethyl and heteroaryl phosphonates or phosphinates by silica gel supported Lewis acid catalyst, CeCl3.7H2O-SiO2 through Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction under conventional as well as microwave irradiation methods. Herein, tetraalkyl 1,4phenylenebis(methylene)diphosphonates 5(a-d)/dimethyl 1,4-phenylenebis(methylene)bis (phen...

Simple alkyl carbocations such as the tertbutyl cation can be isolated and stored (in a bottle) as stable salts at room temperature when partnered with inert carborane anions. The “Me” reagents CH3(CHB11H5X6), X = Cl or Br, are sufficiently powerful electrophiles that they can abstract hydride from hydrocarbons at or below room temperature. For more information, see the Communication by C. A. R...

In the title compound, C(12)H(28)N(+)·Br(-)·H(2)O, the ionic pairs formed by n-dodecyl-ammonium cations and bromide anions are arranged into thick layers; these layers are linked in a nearly perpendicular fashion [the angle between the layers is 85.84 (5)°] by hydrogen-bonding inter-actions involving the water mol-ecules. The methyl-ene part of the alkyl chain in the cation adopts an all-trans ...

While previous studies have identified FeMes2(SciOPP) as the active catalyst species in iron-SciOPP catalyzed Kumada cross-coupling of mesitylmagnesium bromide and primary alkyl halides, the active catalyst species in cross-couplings with phenyl nucleophiles, where low valent iron species might be prevalent due to accessible reductive elimination pathways, remains undefined. In the present stud...

Selective catalytic synthesis of Z-olefins has been challenging. Here we describe a method to produce 1,2-disubstituted olefins in high Z selectivity via reductive cross-coupling of alkyl halides with terminal arylalkynes. The method employs inexpensive and nontoxic catalyst (iron(II) bromide) and reductant (zinc). The substrate scope encompasses primary, secondary, and tertiary alkyl halides, ...

Efficient difunctionalization of alkenes allows the rapid construction of molecular complexity from simple building blocks in organic synthesis. We present herein a nickel-catalyzed dicarbofunctionalization of alkenes using readily available organoboronic acids and organic halides in a three-component fashion. In particular, an unprecedented regioselectivity of the 1,3-dicarbofunctionalization ...

The general approach to a novel class of functionalized ionic liquids 4-6 bearing grafted diphenylcarbamoylmethylphosphine oxide complexing groups in the cation has been elaborated. The synthetic route comprises the preparation of the intermediate (diphenylphosphorylmethylcarbamoyl)propylimidazole 3, followed by sequential quaternization by alkyl halides (chlorides or bromides) and anionic exch...
