Behaviour of Interacting Protons: The Average-Mass Approach to its Study and its Possible Biological Relevance

1973

Among all other kinds of ions occurring in the solid, liquid and living states of matter, positive hydrogen ions (which we shall henceforth call protons for brevity) are singled out by their exceptionally small mass. This is the reason for their specific property of tunnelling through potential barriers, which in turn is responsible for such properties as hydrogen bonding. This is also responsible for the unique properties exhibited in many cases by (sub)systems of interacting protons. Examples are the intriguing properties of liquid water and ice [1]; the para-ferroelectric transition in hydrogen-bonded ferroelectrics [2]; the cooperative transitions in ammonium salts [3] and in hexamine h…

Synthesis of Cycloprophyl Halides

1963

Finely tuned nickel complexes as highly active catalysts affording branched polyethylene of high molecular weight: 1-(2,6-Dibenzhydryl-4- methoxyphen…

2018

Abstract A series of unsymmetrical 1,2-bis(imino)acenaphthenenickel(II) halides containing N-2,6-dibenzhydryl-4-methoxyphenyl – a single bulky group with adjusted electron donating properties – has been synthesized and characterized. These compounds adopt distorted tetrahedral geometry and their 1H NMR spectra show the paramagnetically shifted peaks. On activation with a low amount of Et2AlCl or ethylaluminum sesquichloride (EASC), these nickel complexes display high activity in ethylene polymerization, yielding the polyethylene of high molecular weight. They are also stable at elevated temperature; superb activity of 2.51 × 106 g of PE (mol of Ni)−1 h−1 can be attained at 90 °C. The result…

Atom transfer radical polymerization with different halides (F, Cl, Br, and I): Is the process "living" in the presence of fluorinated initiators?

2016

Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is often used for grafting from fluorinated polymers. Nevertheless, the possibility to initiate an ATRP from a C-F functionality and the activity of the catalysts in the presence of fluoride anions are essentially unexplored. Therefore, we investigated the thermodynamics and kinetics of C-F bond activation by ATRP catalysts and compared it with other halide systems. The ATRP equilibrium constant was estimated to be small for the reaction between [CuITPMA]+ and benzyl fluoride (TPMA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)- amine). However, [CuITPMA] + could react with the more active initiator diethyl fluoromalonate (DEFM). With DEFM as initiator and CuIBr/TPMA as…

Palladium-catalyzed synthesis of aryl-substituted polyamine compounds from aryl halides

1997

The reaction of polyamines having primary amino groups and 1,2-diaminoethane and/or 1,3-diaminopropane fragments with aryl bromides or iodides in the presence of sodium tert-butoxide and (dppf)PdCl2 (dppf = 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene) proceeds selectively leading to monoaryl-substituted derivatives of polyamine. This reaction provides a convenient method of arylation of di-, tri- and tetraamine compounds. The Pd-catalyzed reactions of 1,3-diaminopropane and 3,3′-diaminodipropylamine with more reactive 1-bromonaphthalene can be used for the preparation of sym-dinaphthyl derivatives of these amines.

ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis of 1,2-Disubstituted Indoles from α-Aminonitriles and 2-Halobenzyl Halides.

2016

The α-alkylation of deprotonated Strecker products derived from primary amines and aromatic aldehydes with 2-halobenzyl halides furnishes intermediates that can be cyclized to 1,2-disubstituted indoles in moderate to high yields (up to 94% over two steps) by microwave-assisted copper- or palladium-catalyzed intramolecular cross-coupling.

Direct catalytic cross-coupling of alkenyllithium compounds

2015

A catalytic method for the direct cross-coupling of alkenyllithium reagents with aryl and alkenyl halides is described. The use of a catalyst comprising Pd-2(dba)(3)/XPhos allows for the stereoselective preparation of a wide variety of substituted alkenes in high yields under mild conditions. In addition (1-ethoxyvinyl) lithium can be efficiently converted into substituted vinyl ethers which, after hydrolysis, give readily access to the corresponding methyl ketones in a one pot procedure.

Palladium-catalysed direct cross-coupling of secondary alkyllithium reagents

2014

Palladium-catalysed cross-coupling of secondary C(sp(3)) organometallic reagents has been a long-standing challenge in organic synthesis, due to the problems associated with undesired isomerisation or the formation of reduction products. Based on our recently developed catalytic C-C bond formation with organolithium reagents, herein we present a Pd-catalysed cross-coupling of secondary alkyllithium reagents with aryl and alkenyl bromides. The reaction proceeds at room temperature and on short timescales with high selectivity and yields. This methodology is also applicable to hindered aryl bromides, which are a major challenge in the field of metal catalysed cross-coupling reactions.

Ion diffusion-controlled processes in fluoride crystals

2001

Ionic and ion diffusion-controlled thermally stimulated relaxation (TSR) processes in CaF 2 , BaF 2 and LiBaF 3 crystals (X-ray irradiated at 290 K) have been investigated by means of ionic conductivity and the correlated ionic thermally stimulated depolarisation current (TSDC), and radiation-induced optical absorption band thermal bleaching techniques at 290-650 K. It was found that under a DC field fluorides store large ionic space-charge. In CaF 2 , BaF 2 and LiBaF 3 , by using the ionic TSDC technique we were able to detect a series of the interstitial anion and/or anion vacancy delocalisation stages in the extrinsic ionic conductivity region. At least 4-6 wide and overlapping ionic TSD…

Mollwo–Ivey relations for optical absorption bands of the atomic and F′ centres in alkali halides

2001

Evidence indicates that two classes of the transient IR-absorption bands: (a) with maxima at 0.27-0.36 eV in NaCI, KCI, KBr, KI and RbCl and due to shallow electron traps or bound polarons according to Jacobs (Phys. Stat. Sol. B 129 (1985) 755) and Korovkin and Lebedkina (Fiz. Tverd. Tela (Russian) 35 (1993) 642), and (b) with maxima at 0.15-0.36 eV in NaI, NaBr, NaCl : I, KCl : I I, RbCl: I and RbBr : I, due to on-centre STE localised at iodine-dimer according to Hirota et al. (J. Phys. Soc. Japan 63 (1994) 2774, Phys. Rev. B 52 (1995) 7779) and Edamatsu and Hirai (Mater. Sci. Forum 239-241 (1997) 525), are caused by the same defect. We propose that the defect is an atomic alkali impurity …
