Reaction of the doubly-bridged biscyclopentadienes (C5H4(EMe2))(C5H4(SiMe2)) (E = Si(1a), or C(1b)) with Re2(CO)10 in refluxing mesitylene gave the corresponding dirhenium carbonyl complexes [(η(5)-C5H3)2(EMe2)(SiMe2)][Re(CO)3]2 (trans-2a,b and cis-2a,b), and the desilylated products [(η(5)-C5H4)2(EMe2)][Re(CO)3]2 (3a,b). Photolysis of trans-2a,b with a series of aryl halides in benzene results...

Simple iron salts such as FeCl(n), Fe(acac)(n) (n = 2,3) or the salen complex 4 turned out to be highly efficient, cheap, toxicologically benign, and environmentally friendly precatalysts for a host of cross-coupling reactions of alkyl or aryl Grignard reagents, zincates, or organomanganese species with aryl and heteroaryl chlorides, triflates, and even tosylates. An "inorganic Grignard reagent...

406 Emerging Infectious Diseases • Vol. 9, No. 3, March 2003 Correction, Vol. 8, No. 12 In the article "Induction of Inflammation by West Nile virus Capsid through the Caspase-9 Apoptotic Pathway" by Joo-Sung Yang, et al., errors occurred in the Figure 5 caption on page 1384: delta symbols inadvertantly dropped or were replaced by the letter "d."

N-(Pyridyl)pyridinium salts 7 and 8 as well as 4-phenylpyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidinium salts 4 and 12 have been prepared by reactions of 3-aryl-3-chloropropeniminium salts 5 with aminopyridines (6) using glacial acetic acid as solvent. 2-Phenylpyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidinium salts 2 are formed when ethanol is used as the solvent. The condensation of 2-aminopyridine (6a) with 3-chloro-2,3dehydromorpholino-2...
