Six supramolecular complexes incorporating benzil as a guest, CMCR*bipy*benzil (alpha) 1 (CMCR = C-methylcalix[4]resorcinarene), CMCR*bipy*benzil (beta) 2, CMCR*2bpe*benzil*ethanol 3 (bpe = trans-1,4-bis(pyridyl)ethylene), CMCR*2bpe*benzil*2H2O 4, CMCR.2bpeh*benzil*ethanol 5 (bpeh = bis-(1-pyridin-4-yl-ethylidene)-hydrazine), and CECR*2bpe.benzil 6 (CECR = C-ethylcalix[4]resorcinarene), have be...

A new framework based on C-methylcalix[4]resorcinarene and the flexible nonconjugated spacer 1,4-bis(imidazol-1yl-methyl)benzene encloses a large one-dimensional channel, containing benzil nanocolumns. Unlike in a previously reported series of benzil-containing supramolecular solids with conjugated linker molecules, benzil luminescence is observed, but the lifetime of 580 ns at 77 K is consider...

Schiff base condensation of benzil bis(hydrazone) with formaldehyde, acetone and benzaldehyde and its nickel(II) complexes were synthesised. Preparation of the free ligands was accomplished by refluxing benzil with hydrazine derivatives in 1:10 mole ratios in ethylene glycol. The spectral characterisation of hydrazone based 14-membered octaaza macrocyclic complexes of nickel(II) was undertaken....

Abstract We have investigated the photo-induced reduction of Cu2+-Cu0 using benzil/triethylamine mixtures. The formation of elemental Cu is indicated by the appearance of its characteristic plasmon absorption peaks at 515 nm and 620 nm. Importantly, the nature of the counterion of the Cu2+ salt affects the reduction process. In the presence of Cl-, the reduction proceeds faster than with SO42-....

Using a fully saturated linker, DPP [DPP ~ 1,3-di-(4-piperidyl)propane], a new CMCR-based (CMCR ~ C-methylcalix[4]resorcinarene) supramolecular complex incorporating benzil, CMCR-DPP-benzilEtOH-H2O, and a corresponding benzil-free analogue CMCR-DPP-3EtOH, have been synthesized. Comparison of the TDDFT energy levels and the experimental host-absorption and guest-emission spectra, confirms that t...

A three-step synthesis of pseudoephenamine suitable for preparing multigram amounts of both enantiomers of the auxiliary from the inexpensive starting material benzil is described. The sequence involves synthesis of the crystalline monomethylimine derivative of benzil, reduction of that substance with lithium aluminum hydride, and resolution of pseudoephenamine with mandelic acid.

In alkaline medium the benzil reacts with urea or thiourea in presence of base like 30% w/v NaOH, using ethanol as solvent to give the cyclic hydantoin compounds, or phenytoin (5,5’dipenylimidazolidine-2,4-dione) and thiohydantoin (5,5-diphenyl-2-thioimidazolidine-4-one) respectively. The first step in the reaction involve the attack by urea or thiourea on the carbonyl group of the benzil to gi...

We report here a comparative theoretical and experimental study of four triazine-based hydrazone derivatives. The hydrazones are synthesized by a three step process from commercially available benzil and thiosemicarbazide. The structures of all compounds were determined by using the UV-Vis., FT-IR, NMR (1H and 13C) spectroscopic techniques and finally confirmed unequivocally by single crystal X...

THE TITLE COMPOUND (SYSTEMATIC NAME 1,1',2,2'-tetra-phenyl-2,2'-azinodiethanone), C(28)H(20)N(2)O(2), was obtained by the reaction of benzil monohydrazone with chromium(III) nitrate. The dibenzyl-idene hydrazine unit is nearly planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.073 Å) and the two benzoyl units are oriented almost perpendicular to it [dihedral angle = 87.81 (2), 87.81 (2)°]. The mol-ecules are linked ...
