N-Metallated azomethine ylide generated from methyl (E)-N-benzylideneglycinate, LiBr and triethylamine underwent cycloaddition to quinolyl , -unsaturated ketones with excellent diastereoselectivity to afford new functionalised 3-pyrrolidinylquinoline derivatives.

in this paper, the chemical functionalization of carboxylate multi-walled carbon nanotubes by methyl (triphenyl phosphoranylidene) acetate have been investigated. phosphorus ylides are important compound in organic chemistry. at first, methyl (triphenyl phosphoranylidene) acetate, synthesized from salt metod in two steps: the formation of the phosphonium salt and the deprotonation of the latter...

The reverse regio- and diastereoselectivities are observed between the reactions involving 5- and 6-membered-ring cyclic carbonyl ylide dipoles with alpha-methylene ketones. A mild catalytic route to synthesize spirocyclic systems with high regio-, chemo- and diastereoselectivities is described.

3-Mercapto-1,2,4 benzotriazine (1) was methylated by methyl iodide in the presence of base to afford 1,2-dihydro-3-methyhercapto-1, 2,4 benzotriazine (2). The latter was reacted with hydrazine hydrate to give the corresponding 3-hydrazine derivative (3). Compound (3) on condensation with phenacyl bromide gave 3- phenacyl hydrazino l,2,4-benzotriazine (4). PPA cyclization of the ketone (4) ...

Electron-transporting organic semiconductors (n-channel) for field-effect transistors (FETs) that are processable in common organic solvents or exhibit air-stable operation are rare. This investigation addresses both these challenges through rational molecular design and computational predictions of n-channel FET air-stability. A series of seven phenacyl-thiophene-based materials are reported i...

Dicarbomethoxycarbene can be generated by photolysis of S-C sulfonium ylides derived from thiophene. By manipulating the thiophene (leaving group) portion of the ylide, the initial spin distribution of the carbenes can be strongly influenced. With certain carbene traps, product distributions from dicarbomethoxycarbene depend on the initial spin state distribution in which the carbene is generat...

ABSTRACT Detailed DFT studies provide an in-depth mechanistic understanding for the use of chiral amide-based ammonium ylides in epoxidation reactions. It is shown that the used chiral auxiliary efficiently shields one face of the ylide, which thus results in an extraordinarily high stereoselectivity giving only one trans-isomer with perfect control of the absolute configuration. GRAPHICAL AB...

We have developed an enantiospecific, nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of unsymmetric 1,3-disubstituted allylic pivalates with arylboroxines. The success of this reaction relies on the use of BnPPh2 as a supporting ligand for the nickel(0) catalyst and NaOMe as a base. This method shows excellent functional group tolerance and broad scope in both the allylic pivalate and arylboroxine, enabling t...

A pyridine-catalyzed ylide cyclization affording dihydrofurans and dihydropyrroles has been developed. In the presence of a catalytic amount of pyridine and Fe(Tcpp)Cl, α-ylidene-β-diketones and α,β-unsaturated imines react with diazoacetates providing dihydrofurans and dihydropyrroles respectively, in up to 96% yield with high diastereoselectivities.

The first structurally characterized niobium(v) complex possessing a terminal methylidene ligand is reported in high yield from the reaction of [(Ar'O)2Nb(CH3)2Cl] (Ar' = (2,6-CHPh2)2-4-tBu-C6H2) and two equivalents of H2CPPh3.
