Multinuclear magnetic resonance studies of five silver(I) trinuclear pyrazolate complexes

Structural Chemistry - Experimental multinuclear determination of the chemical shifts, especially 15N and 109Ag, of five silver(I) trinuclear pyrazolate complexes, (PzAg)3, coupled with ZORA...     

Silica gel-mediated hydrohalogenation of unactivated alkenes using hydrohalogenic acids under organic solvent-free conditions

Silica gel-mediated hydrochlorination of unactivated alkenes using 35% hydrochloric acid under organic solvent-free conditions proceeded to give the corresponding chlorides in good yields. Hydrobromination or hydriodination using 47% hydrobromic acid or 55% hydriodic acid afforded the corresponding halides, respectively. Silica gel could be recycled five times without any significant loss of activities.     

The Polymerization of 1,3-Dioxolane Catalyzed by Ion Exchange Resin (Polystyrene Sulfonic Acid)

Polystyrene sulfonic acid resin (Amberlyst 15) was found to initiate the cationic polymerization of 1,3-dioxolane easily in bulk at 0 to 50° C, and polymers with a reduced viscosity of 0.1 were obtained. However, this resin showed only low initiator activity for the polymerizations of 2-methyl-1, 3-dioxolane and trioxane.     

Quinone-recognition by Four-point Hydrogen Bonding in Porphyrin System Having Urea Moiety

5,15- cis -bis(Ureidophenyl)porphyrins have significant recognizing ability for p -benzoquinones through four-point hydrogen bonding. Although an unusual temperature-dependence of the complexation is observed with bis( N '-phenylureidophenyl) porphyrin, bis( N '-ethylureidophenyl)porphyrin shows a satisfactorily linear van't Hoff plot and recognizes an electron-rich p -benzoquinone such as tetramethyl- p -benzoquinone more effectively, which is ascribed to the large enthalpy change in the complex.     

Polymer-Supported Bases. 10. Synthesis of Phosphatidylcholines Using Polymer-Supported or Free Acylimidazoles

Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine was synthesized in a good yield by the reaction of L-α-glycerophosphorylcholine with 1-palmitoylimidazole in the presence of DBU. Polymer-supported 1-palmitoylimidazole moiety also could be used as the acylating reagent, though the yield of the choline was moderate.     

Generation of 3-Carbanion Species from 3-Phenylsulfinyl- and 3-Phenylsulfonyl Propionic Acids

During the course of studies on butenolide synthesis¹ we have investigated the utilities of 3-sulfur-functionalized propionic acid derivatives. We report the results with 3-carbanion species obtained from 3-phenylsulfiny1- and 3-phenylsulfonylpropionic acids (1) and (2). These compounds were easily prepared from 3-phenylthiopropionic acid.     

Where is the Oxygen? Structural Analysis of α‐Humulene Oxidation Products by the Crystalline Sponge Method

Crystal structures of α‐humulene, a cyclic sesquiterpene, and its oxidized subproducts, were analyzed by the crystalline sponge method. Regio‐ and stereochemistry, including absolute configuration when a chiral oxidant was applied, and the stable conformations of all the scaffold‐related compounds were successfully determined for samples on a 5–50 μg scale.
