A powerful and convenient reaction procedure for the C-N coupling reaction (the Buchwald-Hartwig reaction), yielding products of N-arylanilines and N-arylamines in both conventional heating and microwave irradiation has been reported. The protocol utilizes a stable and new supper ferromagnetic nanoparticle chelating N-heterocyclic dicarbene palladium(II) complex (Pd-NHC) as catalyst which helps...

In the presence of carbon monoxide, ruthenium carbenes give a net insertion/ring expansion (Buchner reaction) into one of the aromatic rings of the N-heterocyclic carbene ligand. In alkene metathesis applications, the N-heterocyclic carbene ligand is both robust and typically inert to reactions with the metal-bound carbene. This unique reaction is completely regioselective. The complexes obtain...

In the title mol-ecule, C(14)H(16)N(2)O(3), the heterocyclic ring adopts a flattened boat conformation, and the plane through its four coplanar atoms makes a dihedral angle of 89.65 (7)° with the benzene ring. The non-H atoms of the carbonyl, acetyl and methyl groups are nearly coplanar with the attached heterocyclic ring. Inter-molecular N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are present in the crysta...

In contrast to high spin pyridyl diimine iron(ii) dichloride complexes, analogous bis(amidinato)-N-heterocyclic carbene iron(ii) and iron(iii) complexes demonstrate complex magnetic behaviour. In the solid state, they are best described as intermediate spin complexes at low temperatures that demonstrate gradual spin transitions beginning near or below room temperature. Treating the bis(amidinat...

Heterocyclic ureas, such as N-3-thienyl N'-aryl ureas, have been identified as novel inhibitors of raf kinase, a key mediator in the ras signal transduction pathway. Structure-activity relationships were established, and the potency of the screening hit was improved 10-fold to IC(50)=1.7 microM. A combinatorial synthesis approach enabled the identification of a breakthrough lead (IC(50)=0.54 mi...

A versatile protocol for the synthesis of azolium thioglycosides is reported. This based on a PdG3-catalyzed Migita cross-coupling between p-di-iodo azoliums and protected or unprotected β-1-thioglucose partners. Moreover, solvent-free mechanochemistry approach was developed as unique access to corresponding Ag(I)-N-heterocyclic carbene thioglycosides. Finally, chemical reactivity antiprolifera...

Ammoxidation of technical lignins under mild conditions is a suitable approach to artificial humic substances. However, carbohydrates as common minor constituents of technical lignins have been demonstrated to be a potential source of N-heterocyclic ecotoxic compounds. Ethyl acetate extracts of ammoxidation mixtures of the monosaccharides glucose and xylose exhibited considerable growth inhibit...

A unique anionic phosphenium complex was prepared from reaction of an N-heterocyclic chlorophosphine with Collman's reagent or K[HFe(CO)4]/NaH and characterized by spectral and XRD data. The complex behaves as an ambident nucleophile. Reactions with acetic acid, ClSnPh3, and a further equivalent of an N-heterocyclic chlorophosphine proceed via electrophilic functionalization at the metal site t...

In the title mol-ecule, C(13)H(13)ClN(2)OS, the heterocyclic ring adopts a flattened boat conformation, and the plane through the four coplanar atoms makes a dihedral angle of 87.92 (10)° with the benzene ring. The thione, acetyl and methyl groups have equatorial orientations with respect to the attached heterocyclic ring. The chloro-phenyl group has an axial orientation. Inter-molecular N-H⋯O,...
