Synthesis and photochemical properties of 3,6-di-<Emphasis Type="Italic">tert</Emphasis>-butyl-9<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-carbazole derivatives

Method of synthesis has been developed for a series of 3,6-di-tert-butyl-9H-carbazole derivatives and their photochemical properties have been investigated. The dependence of the Steglich esterification reaction on the nature of the catalyst was studied. The synthesized compounds show fluorescent emission in the range 400–600 nm with a high quantum yield.     

Reaction of 1-germatranol hydrate with carboxylic acids

Reaction of 1-germatranol hydrate with carboxylic acids RCOOH (R = ClCH₂, PhCH=CH, Ph, 2-FC₆H₄, 3-BrC₆H₄, 3-HOC₆H₄, 3-EtOC₆H₄) in protic (CH₃OH, iso-C₅H₁₁OH) and aprotic polar solvent (CH₃CN) is studied. 1-Acyloxygermatranes RC(O)OGe(OCH{in2}CH{in2}){in3}N are formed in yields from 11 to ~100 % depending on the nature of the acid, solvent, duration of the process and the method of its completion. The reaction is the most effective in acetonitrile. Its topochemical completion (heating of the reaction residue in a vacuum) increases the yield of 1-acyloxygermatranes.     

Chalcogenation of 1,4-dichlorobut-2-yne with organic dichalcogenides in the system hydrazine hydrate–KOH

A reaction of organic dichalcogenides R₂Y₂ (R = Ph, Bn, Pr; Y = S, Se) with 1,4-dichlorobut-2-yne in the system hydrazine hydrate–KOH leads to four principal products: 1,4-bis(organylchalcogenyl)but-2-ynes, 1-organylchalcogenylbut-1-en-3-ynes, 4-organylchalcogenylbut-1-en-3-ynes, and 3(5)-methylpyrazole. The selectivity of the formation of individual products is determined by the ratio of the substrates used and the reaction temperature. A plausible mechanism of chalcogenation considered in the work agrees with the effect of the nature of chalcogene atoms and organic substituents R on stability of intermediates and products. The stabilization of carbanions by α chalcogene-containing groups corresponds to the following order: PhS > PhSe > BnS > BnSe > PrS.     

Application of polymethyl methacrylate in cathode materials of lithium-ion batteries

A study of the Li₂FeSiO₄/C cathode material doped with Mn demonstrated that introduction of polymethyl methacrylate results in a substantial decrease in the particle size and increase in the specific surface area of the cathode material. Polymethyl methacrylate strongly improves the cyclic stability of the cathode material. The discharge capacity after the first cycle was 218 mA h g^–1, and that upon stabilization of the structure of the cathode material, 170 mA h g^–1.

Tandem Chemoselective Suzuki–Miyaura Cross‐Coupling Enabled by Nucleophile Speciation Control

Control of boronic acid speciation is presented as a strategy to achieve nucleophile chemoselectivity in the Suzuki–Miyaura reaction. Combined with simultaneous control of oxidative addition and transmetalation, this enables chemoselective formation of two C? C bonds in a single operation, providing a method for the rapid preparation of highly functionalized carbogenic frameworks.
