Diastereoselective Alkylation of (Diene-Aldehyde)Fe(CO)3 Complexes with Functionalized Zinc-Copper Reagents NuCu(CN)Znl

Addition of functionalized zinc-copper reagents to the title complexes proceeds in a highly diastereoselective fashion to afford dienol complexes. The relative configurations of adducts 3d were determined by single X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry determination of aromatic amines in hydrolysed urine from workers exposed to thermal degradation products of polyurethane

Chromatographia - An LC-MS method is described for the determination of 4,4′-MDA (4,4′-methylene dianiline) in hydrolysed urine as a biomarker for exposure to 4,4′-MDI...     

Reversed phase behaviour of high molecular mass polystyrenes in ethyl acetate solvent mixtures

Chromatographia - The reversed phase behaviour of high molecular mass polystyrenes was investigated on C18 bonded phase columns with ethyl acetate-methanol and ethyl acetateacetonitrile mobile...     

Prediction of chromatographic retention of metal complexes from stability constants measured by ion chromatography

Chromatographia - A theoretical model is used to predict retention times of divalent metal cations in single-column ion chromatography using one or more ligands in the eluent. Stability constants...     

Density functionals for exchange and correlation energies: Exact conditions and comparison of approximations

A set of exact conditions is compiled for the purpose of developing and testing approximations for the exchange-correlation energy as a functional of the electron density. Special emphasis is placed upon recently developed density-scaling relationships. Commonly used generalized gradient approximations are compared against several of these conditions. A direct tabular comparison of these functionals (not of calculated properties) with one another is also made. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

GIPKh catalysts

In the Russian Scientific Center Applied Chemistry catalysts have been developed for the gas-phase fluorination of organics, including chlorine-containing substances, hydrogenation and reductive amination of organic substances, decomposition of liquid substances to gases, complete oxidation and reduction, suitable for environment at protection.     

The lead tetraacetate oxidation of bisacylhydrazones of α-diketones: A scope re-assesment

Oxidation of the title compounds yields, besides the reported isoimides 3 and/or the amides 4 , also the imides 5 . The observed product dichotomy is considered as the result of an intramolecular nucleophilic attack on the aroyl group, of the pressumed zwitterionic intermediate 2 , by O or N present in the ambident N-aroylimine site of 2 . The results of AM1 calculations agree with the product studies and both permit the formulation of a set of rules correlating structure and selectivity.
