Diversification of shotgun process

Three protocols for shotgun process are put forth in which simultaneous multi-fold reactions occur exclusively to each other. The first one involves simple combination of selective and non-selective reactions. Even if the simple protocol fails to give rise to the high selectivity, satisfactory outcome can be achieved by kinetic control or adjustment of functional groups.     

Bis

[formula: see text] The generation of (2-PyMe2Si)2CHLi was easily accomplished by the deprotonation of (2-PyMe2Si)2CH2 using n-BuLi in Et2O. Thus generated (2-PyMe2Si)2CHLi was found to react with a variety of aldehydes and ketones to give the corresponding vinylsilanes in extremely high yields with complete stereoselectivities.     

One‐Shot Double Elimination Process: A Practical and Concise Protocol for Diaryl Acetylenes

A variety of diaryl acetylenes were obtained in good yields when lithium hexamethyldisilazide was added to a solution of arylmethyl sulfone, aryl aldehyde, and chlorodiethylphosphate in THF. In this one‐shot process, a number of transformations such as aldol reaction, phosphorylation of aldolate, and double elimination of the resulting β‐substituted sulfone proceeded successively to afford the desired acetylenes. The one‐shot process was accelerated by the substitution of halogen atoms on the phenyl groups, and unsymmetrically substituted diaryl acetylenes were obtained without contamination of the dehalogenated products. Diaryl acetylenes with other substituents such as CF₃, ethoxycarbonyl, dimethylamino, TMS‐acetylene groups, as well as pyridinyl and thienyl moieties were also accessible with this method. However, methoxy‐substituted compounds were obtained in moderate yields under the same conditions, but the yields were increased when lithium diisopropylamide was used instead.     

Facile routes to natural acyclic polyenes syntheses of spilanthol and trail pheromone for termite

The synthetic procedures for spilanthol and trail-following pheromone for a southern subterranean termite were described. The syntheses heavily depend on the new diene synthesis using titanium reagent.

Fluorescence quenching of pyrene and pyrenedecanoic acid by various kinds of N,N-dialkylanilines in dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine liposomes

Fluorescence quenching of pyrene and pyrenedecanoic acid by various kinds of anilines has been studied in dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine liposomes in gel phases. N,N-dimethylaniline and p-isopropyl-N,N-dimethylaniline caused anisotropic diffusional quenching, while N,N-dicetylaniline, a less mobile quencher, predominantly caused static quenching. These data suggested the location sites of both pyrenes and anilines in the membranes.     

Fluorous distannoxane-catalyzed acetylation of alcohols in heterogeneous single fluorous solvent system

Acetylation of alcohols with an equivalent amount of acetic anhydride is feasible in the presence of fluorous distannoxane catalyst in heterogeneous single fluorous system. The fluorous layer containing catalyst can be recycled and reused at least 10 times.     

High n-value phases in the complex bismuth oxides with layered structure,Bi2CaNan−2NbnO3n+3

Complex bismuth oxides with layered structure are prepared with a series of compositions in the system Bi₂CaNb₂O₉-NaNbO₃. It is found by X-ray powder diffraction that each compound is composed of more than two phases, which are described by a formula Bi₂CaNa_n?2Nb_nO_3n+3, e.g., in the sample with the nominal composition Bi₂CaNb₂O₉ · 8NaNbO₃, the phases with n = 6 to 8 appear predominantly. These phases are closely intergrown to each other. Moreover, high-resolution electron microscopy reveals that microsyntactic intergrowth frequently occurs in the phases with n > 5. The occurrence of the latter intergrowth is explained in terms of the bond length obtained.
