We report the synthesis and total NMR characterization of 5-thia-1-azabicyclo-[4.2.0]oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid-3-[[[(4''-nitrophenoxy)carbonyl]oxy]-methyl]-8-oxo-7-[(2-thienyloxoacetyl)amino]-diphenylmethyl ester-5-dioxide (5), a new cephalosporin derivative. This compound can be used as the carrier of a wide range of drugs containing an amino group. The preparation of the intermediate produc...

The title compound, C(12)H(19)BrN(4)O, represents the minor component of the two products obtained in a series of transformations involving the Grignard reaction of tert-butoxy-carbonyl-protected 4-amino-cyclo-hexa-none with MeMgBr, and subsequent inter-action of the obtained amino-substituted cyclo-hexa-nol with 4-chloro-6-methyl-pyrimidin-2-amine followed by bromination with N-bromo-succinimi...

Density functional theory (DFT) calculation on the molecular structures, charge distribution, molecular orbitals, electronic absorption spectra of a series of eight unsymmetrical phthalocyaninato zinc complexes with one peripheral (E)-2-cyano-3-(5-vinylthiophen-2-yl) acrylic acid substituent at 2 or 3 position as an electron-withdrawing group and a different number of electron-donating amino gr...

The title compound, C(11)H(15)BrNO(+)·Cl(-), was obtained as a precursor within our current program for the synthesis of new β-amino-alcohols via a Mannich-type reaction. The protonated amino N atom is hydrogen bonded to the chloride anion. With exception of one methyl group, the cation is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation for all non H-atoms = 0.069 Å).

Divergent synthesis of indoles, oxindoles, isocoumarins and isoquinolinones is described in this report by using a general Pd-catalyzed tandem reaction of β-hydroxy carbonyl compounds with aryl halides bearing an ortho-nitro, -ester or -cyano substituent. A key retro-aldol/α-arylation reaction is involved that merges classic Pd cross-coupling chemistry with novel Pd-promoted retro-aldol C-C act...

Alcohols and epoxides were generated by the addition of organohalides to carbonyl compounds in the presence of sodium metal impregnated with silica gel (Na@SiO2) in THF at 25 °C through a radical pathway. Under the same conditions, Schiff bases were also successfully converted to the corresponding amines. Furthermore, the reaction of aldehydes with α-haloesters or 4-(chloromethyl)-coumarin with...
