Summary:
This paper describes the theoretical study on borazine and substituted borazines by the means of density functional theory. Amino group was used as the common donor group while four acceptor groups namely –NO2, –C≡N, –COCl and –NMe2 were chosen...
Summary:
A polymeric film as fluorescent sensor for detection of Pb2+ in aqueous solutions, synthesised from 1-vinylimidazole, poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate and trimethylolpropane triacrylate has been described. The manuscript also describes the...
Summary:
The article presents the synthesis and characterization of two mononuclear Re(V) complexes. DFT and TD-DFT methods were employed for exploring the electronic structure and absorption spectra. Furthermore, the complexes were also tested for...
Summary:
A new copper selective solid-state electrode based on o-xylylenebis(N,N-diisobutyldithiocarbamate) ionophore has been described. It has been developed for selectively measuring the copper levels found in the tea infusion samples. Robust, cheap...
A pinacle reaction of the synthesis required the cross coupling off a two highly heteroatom functionalised fragments, the use of traditional Heck conditions, such as palladium (II) acetate, triphenyl phosphine and triethylamine afforded poor yields and...
Procedure for synthesis of intermediate 2 was repeated three times at identical scale and reaction conditions as described and then modified. When followed exact same procedure as-written (12 hours), desired compound was obtained in 14% yield (confirmed by...
This review addresses the published preparation of compound 10c as listed in JOC 69, 4361 (2004). The stated preparation utilizes the inexpensive, commercially available diol, 6c. The preparation begins by combining the diol with one equivalent of TESCl in...
This reaction was repeated to prepare O-diphenylphosphinyl hydroxylamine as this compound was reported to be a "less explosive" electrophilic aminating agent. Note: a recent improved preparation has been reported. (DSC measurements of the isolated compound...
t-Bu amine (50 mmol) and methyl acrylate (50 mmol) were dissolved in MeOH (10 mL) and stirred overnight under nitrogen. The secondary amine was isolated by Kugelrohr distillation after the MeOH had been removed by rotary evaporation. The purified material...
