756-79-6 Water determines the products: An unexpected Br?nsted acid-catalyzed PO-R cleavage of P(iii) esters selectively producing P(O)-H and P(O)-R compounds

Water is found able to determine the selectivity of Br?nsted acid-catalyzed C-O cleavage reactions of trialkyl phosphites: with water, the reaction quickly takes place at room temperature to afford quantitative yields of H-phosphonates; without water, the reaction selectively affords alkylphosphonates in high yields, providing a novel halide-free alternative to the famous Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction. This method is general as it can be readily extended to phosphonites and phosphinites and a large scale reaction with much lower loading of the catalyst, enabling a simple, efficient, and practical preparation of the corresponding organophosphorus compounds. Experimental findings in control reactions and substrate extension as well as preliminary theoretical calculation of the possible transition states all suggest that the monomolecular mechanism is preferred. https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_756-79-6.htm

1023-17-2 Syntheses, structures, and catalytic activity in Friedel–Crafts acylations of substituted tetramethylcyclopentadienyl molybdenum carbonyl complexes

Reactions of the substituted tetramethylcyclopentadienes [C 5 HMe 4 R] [R?=? t Bu, Ph, CH 2 CH 2 C(CH 3 ) 3 ] with Mo(CO) 3 (CH 3 CN) 3 in refluxing xylene gave a series of dinuclear molybdenum carbonyl complexes [(η 5 -C 5 Me 4 R)Mo(CO) 3 ] 2 [R?=? t Bu (1), Ph (2), CH 2 CH 2 C(CH 3 ) 3 (3)], [(η 5 -C 5 Me t Bu)Mo(μ-CO) 2 ] 2 (4)], and [(η 5 -C 5 Me 4 ) t Bu] 2 Mo 2 O 4 (μ-O) (5)], respectively. Complexes 1–5 were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1 H NMR, and 13 C NMR spectroscopy. In addition, their crystal structures were determined by X-ray crystal diffraction analysis. The catalytic activities of complexes 1–3 in Friedel–Crafts acylation in the presence of o-chloranil has also been investigated; the reactions were achieved under mild conditions to give the corresponding products in moderate yields. https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_1023-17-2.htm

7440-47-3 Influence of pulse plating on the crystal structure and orientation of chromium

Chromium deposits with various structures and orientations were prepared by pulse plating from a sulfate-catalyzed chromic acid solution and without formic acid addition. The influences of the puls duration, off-time, curent density, formic acid concentration, and plating time on the structure and orientation were studied by X-Ray diffraction and transmition electron microcsopy. https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_7440-47-3.htm

101219-73-2 Influences of electronic effects and anions on the enantioselectivity in the oxazaborolidine-catalyzed asymmetric borane reduction of ketones

The influence of electronic effects on the enantioselectivity of the oxazaborolidine-catalyzed asymmetric borane reduction of ketones has been observed and investigated with use of parasubstituted acetophenones and propiophenones with a variety of functional groups and B-unsubstituted and B-methoxyoxazaborolidines derived from (S)-2-(diphenylhydroxymethyl)-pyrrolidine with borane and trimethyl borate as catalysts in toluene and THF. The results indicate that Hammett linear free energy electronic effects on the enantioselectivity in the asymmetric reduction were observed and rationalized. Tuning electronic effects of the catalyst can improve the enantioselectivity in the reduction. Another interesting finding to be noted is that anions heavily affect the enantioselectivity, especially for the B-methoxy catalyst, because of their coordination with the boron atom in the catalysts. https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_101219-73-2.htm
