Ansa-cyclodextrins were obtained in high yields by reaction of sodium sulfide with A,B-di- or A,B,D,E-tetramesylated alpha-CD precursors; the resulting thiocavitands are suitable for forming nanotubular molecules, as well as for hosting metal-organic fragments.

The previously synthesized strained distannadiyl-ansa half-sandwich complex [{κ-SntBu2SntBu2-(η-C5H5)}Ru(CO)2] was investigated with respect to its reactivity toward group 16 elements and bis(tert-butylisonitrile)palladium(0). All products were analyzed by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. [{κ-SntBu2SSntBu2-(η-C5H5)}Ru(CO)2] was furthermore characterized by ...

We report here a novel procedure for the reduction of ketones to secondary alcohols using catalytic quantities of commercially available Cp2TiCl2, inexpensive Zn dust and water as proton source. Mechanistically the reaction presumably proceeds via titanoxy radicals. In practice this reduction process has significant advantages: it shows an interesting selectivity pattern, takes place under mild...

During the production of ethylene dichloride, entrainment catalyst particles out bed is considered a problematic issue that affects conversion hydrogen dichloride and causes repeated unit shut down. In this study effect various operating conditions was measured; fluidizing gas flowrate, parameters, reaction conditions, static design parameters such as internal orifice diameter distributer. A si...

In the crystal structure of the title salt, C(11)H(12)N(2) (2+)·2Cl(-)·H(2)O, the dication adopts a butterfly shape [dihedral angle between rings = 69.0 (1)°] with the water mol-ecule lying in the V-shaped cavity. Each O-H bond of the water molecule lies parallel to an aromatic ring and forms an O-H⋯Cl inter-action to a chloride anion. The methyl-ene C atom in the dication and the water O atoms...

The title complex, dichlorido[N,N-di-methyl-2-(η(5)-tetra-methyl-cyclo-penta-dien-yl)acetamidinido-κN']titanium(IV), [Ti(C(13)H(20)N(2))Cl(2)], exhibits an unusual ansa-bridged conformation. The cyclo-penta-dienyl ring and the mean plane of the Ti-N=C-C-C fragment form a dihedral angle of 88.08 (11)°.
