A simple and robust method for instant carbon monoxide generation at room temperature using easily accessible standard lab chemicals: formic acid, mesyl chloride and triethylamine.
The first example of an alkyl-aryl Negishi coupling in a practical, sustainable, and high-yielding process using a silica-supported catalyst in flow is described. Excellent conversions and good functional group compatibility were obtained under very mild conditions. Functionalized alkyl groups were also introduced to provide access to synthetically useful molecules and to demonstrate the versatility of the method. The scalability was assessed, and a throughput of 7.5 mmol/h of processed substrate was achieved. All crude products were free from phosphine derivatives and ready for use in subsequent reaction steps.
The first continuous flow carbonylation reaction using aryl formates as CO precursor is reported. The reaction is practical, scalable and high yielding. The use of a flow protocol safely allows expanding the scope to activated chlorides, nitrogen heterocycles and to the selective introduction of an ester group in dihalo-derivatives. Further selective reduction of the ester formed to an aldehyde in flow is also described.
Background:The size and/or protein nature of current von Willebrand factor (VWF)-glycoprotein (GP) Ib␣ inhibitors limits oral bioavailability and clinical development. Results: Through a rational approach, a small molecule was selected that modulates the VWF-GPIb interaction. Conclusion: Further chemical modifications will now allow full characterization and manipulation of the specific activity of the compound. Significance: Rational design allows for the identification of small molecules that interfere with protein-protein interactions.
We performed a systematic investigation of the conditions causing or preventing self-ignition of spent palladium on a carbon catalyst after hydrogenation reactions. The solvent used for hydrogenation plays a major role. We compared the pyrophoricity of a filtered catalyst, produced with 11 commonly used hydrogenation solvents. Self-ignition was only observed with alcoholic solvents. We also show that self-ignition of spent catalyst can be prevented by an efficient water rinse and/or addition of thiophene. A method is also presented to evaluate the risk of spontaneous ignition of the catalyst cake after hydrogenation with palladium on carbon in a systematic way.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
