Reduction of the aluminum iodide AlI2AriPr8 (1; AriPr8 = C6H-2,6-(C6H2-2,4,6-Pri3)2-3,5-Pri2) with 5% w/w Na/NaCl in hexanes gave a dark red solution from which the monomeric alanediyl :AlAriPr8 (2) was isolated in ca. 28% yield as yellow-orange crystals. Compounds 1 and 2 were characterized by X-ray crystallography, electronic and NMR spectroscopy, and theoretical calculations. The Al atom in 2 is one-coordinate, and the compound displays two absorptions in its electronic spectrum at 354 and 455 nm. It reacts with H2 under ambient conditions to give the aluminum hydride {AlH(μ-H)AriPr8}2, probably via a weakly bound dimer of 2 as an intermediate.

ChemInform Abstract: Cycloaddition Reactions with Vinyl Heterocycles

2010

Publisher Summary The Diels-Alder reaction is one of the most common and elegant methods for the construction of six-membered rings. Although the number of Diels-Alder cycloadditions with open-chain and alicyclic dienes is very large, the number of examples with aromatic heterocyclic compounds is relatively small. The introduction of a vinyl group as a substituent onto a heterocycle increases the number of possible reactions. This new possibility, however attractive for synthetic purposes, is successful only with π-excessive five-membered heterocyclic derivatives with a few exceptions. The chapter discusses the reactions of vinyl heterocycles with carbodienophiles. The endocyclic and exo-en…

Die Isomerisierung des Linolsäuremethylesters mit Rhodiumkomplexen

1977

Die isolierten Doppelbindungen des Linolsauremethylesters konnen mit Rhodiumkomplexen und Zinn(II)chlorid-Dihydrat als Katalysatorsystem konjugiert werden. Die Abhangigkeit der Reaktion von verschiedenen Phosphor- und Stickstoffliganden am Rhodium wurde untersucht. Tri-p-tolylphosphin als Ligand ergab den aktivsten Katalysator, der auch noch bei 25°C eine wirkungsvolle Isomerisierung bewirkt. The Isomerisation of Linoleic Acid Methyl Ester with Rhodium Complexes The isolated double bonds of the linoleic acid methyl ester were conjugated with rhodium complexes plus SnCl2 · 2H2O as catalysts. The dependence of the reaction on phosphorous and nitrogen ligands was studied. The most active catal…

A theoretical study of neutral and reduced tetracyano-p-quinodimethane (TCNQ)

2004

Abstract The molecular structure of neutral, anionic, and dianionic tetracyano- p -quinodimethane (TCNQ), as well as the electron affinity of TCNQ, have been studied with HF, MP2, and different density functional theory (DFT) procedures. The optimized geometries compare well with the available experimental data, although the C N bond distance is not correctly described at the MP2 level. The calculated parameters are rather insensitive to the basis set employed, and the addition of diffuse functions does not yield significant changes. When the extra electrons are added, the central ring of TCNQ progressively becomes more aromatic. Compared with the CCSD(T) estimate, the value of the adiabati…

Hydrothermal liquefaction of waste biomass in stirred reactors: One step forward to the integral valorization of municipal sludge

2020

Abstract Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of municipal sludge (MS) was performed at 350 °C for 30 min (subcritical water) and at 400 °C for 0 min (supercritical water) at fixed kinetic severity (LogR0 = 8.9) in static and stirred batch reactors to study the effect of the flow regime on the energy recovery (ER) of the process and on the quality of the products. With adopted experimental procedures it was possible to reduce to less than 10% the yield of lost organic compounds, termed volatiles (VT), and to collect and quantify a liquid hydrocarbon fraction (HC) separated from the biocrude (BC). The highest value of the HC yield, 25% w/w, was obtained in supercritical conditions. The C content …

Acid-catalyzed mechanocatalytic pretreatment to improve sugar release from birch sawdust: Structural and chemical aspects

2022

Abstract This study examined acid-catalyzed mechanocatalytic pretreatment of birch sawdust without a separate impregnation step. Catalyst amount and pretreatment time were the key variables. Pretreated material was mixed with water for hydrolysis (100 °C, 60 min). The efficient release of total reducing sugars from birch sawdust is significant to the path towards biofuels and biochemicals. Based on the results, the structure and surface of birch sawdust changed as a function of mechanocatalytic pretreatment. Milling time caused significant transformations in birch structure and also increased the yields of reducing sugars. The highest yield of total reducing sugar from pretreated sawdust wa…

High Yield Syntheses of Stable, Singly Bonded Pd26+ Compounds

2006

A general method for the syntheses of dipalladium compounds having a singly bonded Pd26+ core and the formula R,S-cis-Pd2(C6H4PPh2)2(O2CR)2Cl2 is described. When the alkyl group in the carboxylate ligands is an electron donating group, the compounds are stable and the yields high. The Pd-Pd distances for the diamagnetic compounds with R = CF3 and CMe3 are 2.5434(4) and 2.5241(9) A, respectively. Calculations at the DFT level suggest that the electronic configuration is sigma2pi4delta2delta*2pi*4. These represent rare examples of palladium(III) compounds.

Cyclodextrin-assisted Glycan Chain Extension on a Protected Glycosyl Amino Acid

2000

By the use of cyclodextrins, we have enhanced the solubility of the protected amino acid glycan Fmoc-Thr(GalNAcα1)-OtBu (1b) up to 100-fold. This improvement enabled us to carry out an enzymatic glycosylation employing a β-galactosidase in combination with an α2,3-sialyltransferase without the aid of organic cosolvents. After optimization of the one-pot reaction, the sialylated core 1 structure Fmoc-Thr[Neu5Ac(α2-3)Gal(β1-3)GalNAcα1]-OtBu (3b) could be obtained with 50% yield.

Zur protonenkatalysierten elektrophilen substitution von 2,3-dimethylindol mit arylaldehyden: C6-regioselektivität am indol-gerüst

1986

The proton catalyzed reaction of 2,3-dimethylindole (1) with several arylaldehydes 2 yields the 6,6′bisindolylarylmethanes 5 regioselectively. No mechanistic information about the predominant attack of the aldehydes on the indole nucleus is obtained, because the reaction proceeds too fast to control. The electron-rich aldehydes, 2,4,6-trimethoxybenzaldehyde and indole-3-carbaldehyde, yield exclusively the 6,6′,6″-trisin-dolylmethane 9. The constitutions of all isolated methanes were elucidated by 400 MHz 1H-nmr spectroscopy.

Interrelationships between Growth Yield, ATPase and Adenylate Kinase Activities inZymomonas mobilis

2001

The presence of cytoplasmic and membrane-bound adenylate kinase (EC 2.7,4.3) as well as inorganic pyrophosphatase (EC 3.6.1.1) was detected in Zymomonas mobilis ATCC 29191. An increase in the molar growth yield (Y X/S ) of Z. mobilis under aerobic growth conditions appeared to be in proportion to a reduction of membrane-bound adenylate kinase (mAK) and ATPase activities and to an increase in cytoplasmic adenylate kinase (AK) activity. Significant (1 - P < 0.01) multiple regressions were observed between the values of Y x (dependent variable), ATPase and AK or AK and mAK as independent variables, suggesting that a combined operation of these phosphohydrolases and phosphotransferases would be…
