10030-80-5 Formation of Chiral Structures in Photoinitiated Formose Reaction

-
The possibility to synthesize biologically important sugars and other chiral compounds without any initiators in the UV-initiated reaction of formaldehyde in aqueous solution has been shown for the first time. An optically active condensed phase due to an sp3-hybridized carbon atom has been detected. It has been shown that this phase is formed due to the spatial cleavage of antipodes in the racemate, similar to the cleavage of enantiomers following the sign of chirality in the known experiments of Pasteur. The results have been obtained under the conditions that correspond to modern ideas about the form and vector of prebiological evolution and, therefore, can be of fundamental importance for understanding the processes of biopoiesis. https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_10030-80-5.htm

100-64-1 On the Oxidation of Hydroxylamines with o -Iodoxybenzoic Acid (IBX)

-
o -Iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) is confirmed as a powerful tool for the oxidation of hydroxylamines. The synthetic route is demonstrated as efficient and user friendly, and is exploited on various carbohydrate-derived N,N-disubstituted hydroxylamines (cyclic, acyclic, and functionalized ones), affording the corresponding nitrones in good yields and regioselectivity. N-Monosubstituted hydroxylamines revealed an interesting divergent behavior depending on the reaction conditions. While IBX oxidation in dimethyl sulfoxide at 45 °C furnished oximes as reported, the oxidation in dichloromethane at room temperature afforded efficiently the unusual corresponding nitroso dimers. https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_100-64-1.htm

75-01-4 Nickel(I) Octaethylisobacteriochlorin Anion. An Exceptional Nucleophile. Reduction and Coupling of Alkyl Halides by Anionic and Radical Processes. A Model for Factor F-430

-
Nickel(I)octaethylisobacteriochlorin anion (Ni(I)OEiBC - ) reacts extremely rapidly with aliphatic halides and methyl tosylate in homogeneous DMF solution.The reactivity sequence, CH3 > primary > secondary tertiary, and the rate law accord with an S N 2-like process for the carbon-halogen bond scission.However, the main products of the reactions derive from free radicals.The rate for methyl chloride is 2000 times faster than the corresponding reaction with the super nucleophile Co(I)B12 s -1 and the rate constant for isopropyl bromide is 350 times greater than that observed with CpFe(CO)2 - .The results indicate NiOEiBC - is the fastest nucleophile on record.Studies of the influence of solvent and reactant deuteration and the influence of anion and radical scavengers upon the product distribution suggest the intermediacy of at least one and possibly two nickel alkyls of fleeting lifetime.A novel explanation for the unusual speed of these reactions is put forward.It entails the...

100-40-3 ?-Arene Complexes of Nickel(II). Synthesis (from Metal Atoms) of (?-Arene)bis(pentafluorophenyl)nickel(II). Properties, ?-Arene Lability, and Chemistry

-
A new series of transition-metal-?-arene complexes has been prepared by a metal atom synthetic method.The deposition of Ni vapor, C6F5Br, and arenes has prodused high yields of (C6F5)2Ni-?-arene complexes.A variety of ?-arene ligands are η 6 bound by the (C6F5)2Ni moiety, resulting in soluble highly labile materials, where the ?-arene ligand is exchangeble at room temperature.These complexes have not been isolable when ?-bonding ligands other then C6F5 have been employed.The formation of the ?-toluene complex proceeds through a pseudostable C6F5NiBr species that can be trapped at -80 deg C with R3P but decomposes by reductive elimination of CF5-CF5 in the absence of R3P or electron-rich arenes.It is likely that C6F5NiBr-?-arene is formed initially, which then disproportionates to (C6F5)2Ni-?-arene and NiBr2.Due to the high lability of the ?-arene ligand, these complexes possess a rich chemistry.Displacement of the ?-arene ligand can bee carried out cleanly and in high yield by P(Et)3,...
