Reaction of the aryltin(II) hydride {AriPr6Sn(μ-H)}2 (AriPr6 = −C6H3-2,6-(C6H2-2,4,6-iPr3)2) with two equivalents tungsten carbonyl THF complex, [W(CO)5(THF)], afforded divalent tin transition metal W(CO)5{Sn(AriPr6)H}, (1). Complex 1 reacted rapidly ethylene, or propylene under ambient conditions to yield corresponding hydrostannylated organometallic species, W(CO)5{Sn(AriPr6)(Et)} (2), W(CO)5...

Compared with the rapid deactivation of Pd/AC catalyst, an eco-friendly Pd-[DBU][Cl]/AC ([DBU][Cl], 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene hydrochloride) catalyst enhanced stability was synthesized and applied in hydrochlorination acetylene. The Pd-20[DBU][Cl]/AC exhibits 96.7% acetylene conversion 98.9% selectivity vinyl chloride within 24 h evaluation under conditions T = 180 °C, GHSV(C2H2) 360 h...

We report the direct incorporation of hexafluoroisobutyl group on a chiral glycine Schiff base complex mediated by 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU). The fluoroalkylation involves 2-(bromomethyl)-1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane reagent, which generates in situ hexafluoroisobutylene (HFIB), and reacts then with enolate through tandem allylic shift/hydrofluorination process. showed that use ...

In this report, novel systems, based on highly abundant saccharides, D-mannose, D-glucose, β-cyclodextrin, alginic acid and mannitol, in combination with an organic superbase, tetramethylguanidine (TMG) or 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), are studied for carbon dioxide capture. With D-mannose and D-glucose, several ratios of equivalents of alcohol groups of saccharide : superbase were ...

An efficient and divergent one-pot synthesis of 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrroles, 3-alkyl-1H-pyrroles and 3-alkenyl-1H-pyrroles from readily accessible 2,4-pentadienenitriles with isocyanide based on reaction condition selection has been described. The reaction of 2,4-pentadienenitriles with ethyl isocyanoacetate undergoes a formal [2 + 3] annulation either to generate 2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrroles in the pre...

BACKGROUND Pretreatment is a vital step upon biochemical conversion of lignocellulose materials into biofuels. An acid catalyzed thermochemical treatment is the most commonly employed method for this purpose. Alternatively, ionic liquids (ILs), a class of neoteric solvents, provide unique opportunities as solvents for the pretreatment of a wide range of lignocellulose materials. In the present ...

Chromium(III) mesityl complexes were synthesized by protonolysis of chromocene with 1,3-diisopropylimidazolium chloride or DBU hydrochloride, salt metathesis with MesMgBr, and single electron oxidation with iodine.

[reaction: see text]. A very simple methodology to stereoselectively achieve tricyclic isonucleosides (nucleobase = thymine, uracil, and 5-fluoruracil) and 3'-C-branched nucleosides (nucleobase = theophylline) was performed by means of a DBU-mediated addition process using a readily available 2-bromo sugar. The mechanism for these transformations implies the loss of both substituents at C-2 and...

Biodiesel is a promising alternative to petrodiesel, but its production from acid oils retains several technical challenges. Therefore, this study developed new approach involving 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU)-catalyzed one-pot reaction (simultaneous esterification-transesterification) produce biodiesel with enhanced efficiency. The was performed under water removal conditions and op...
