The synthesis and solution and solid-state structural characterization of a family of amine bis(phenolate) [ONNO]-vanadium complexes is reviewed. These compounds have oxi dation states ranging from vanadium(II) to vanadium(V), and were evaluated as olefin polymerization catalysts. In association with EtAlCl2 cocatalyst, we studied the homo polymerization of ethylene, propene, and 1-hexene, as w...

The title complex, [Cu(2)(C(22)H(20)Br(2)N(4)O(2))(ClO(4))(2)], was prepared by the condensation of 2,6-diformyl-4-bromo-phenol with 1,3-diamino-propane in the presence of copper(II) ions. The macrocyclic ligand shows an approximately planar structure except for the two propene groups in the macrocycle. The coordination polyhedron of each Cu atom can be described as distorted square pyramidal. ...

MP2 calculations with full geometry optimizations were performed with a doubleand a triple-zeta basis set to obtain the energy profile for reactions of propene q OH and ethene q OH at low pressures. In these conditions, the b-hydroxyalkyl radicals formed after OH addition to the alkene double bond may go through a rearrangement reaction to form easily identifiable aldehydes and ketones. The the...

In the present investigation, a series of novel isoxazoline derivatives 4a-i were synthesized by cyclization of 1-(2’-hydroxy phenyl)-5-(6’’-methoxynaphthalen)-2-propene-1-one (i.e. Chalcones) 3a-i with hydroxylamine hydrochloride in dimethyl formamide and sodium acetate to obtained 3-(2’-hydroxy phenyl)-5-(6’’-methoxynaphthalen)-2-isoxazolines 4a-i. The structures of newly synthesized compound...

6-carbethoxy-5-(3'-bromophenyl)-3-aryl-2-cyclohexenones 2a-j were obtained from the1-aryl-3-(3'-bromophenyl)-2-propene-1-ones 1a-j by micheal addition of ethyl acetoacetate, followed by internal claisen condensation. reaction of 2a-j with hydrazine hydrate afforded the corresponding 6-aryl-4-(3'-bromophenyl)-3-oxo-2,3a,4,5-tetrahydro-2h-indazoles 3a-j. the structures of newly syn...

The oxidative dehydrogenation of propane to propene using carbon dioxide is an attractive novel synthesis route produce a key platform chemical. We investigated iron-chromia catalysts prepared by sol-gel. mixed oxides showed improved specific surface area and high concentration acid base sites were found be highly active catalysts. Although coking was observed over the catalysts, regeneration r...

Efficacy of the fumigants ethylene dibromide (EDB), EDB + chloropicrin, and 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) applied with one or three chisels per row, singly or in combination with aldicarb, was evaluated in 1982 and 1983 on potato (Solanum tuberosum) cultivars Atlantic and Sebago for control of several nematodes, including Belonolaimus longicaudatus, Meloidogyne incognita, and trichodorids. Genera...

Nematode population trends and vertical distribution were monitored in a southwest Michigan vineyard (Vitis labrusca cv. Concord) from 1976 through 1983. Shallow (20 cm) and deep (90 cm) applications of 1,3-dichloropropene applied at 281 (shallow) plus 658 or 1,122 (deep) liters/ ha provided excellent control of Xiphinema americanum, Criconemella xenoplax, and Meloidogyne hapla. Populations of ...
