Copper(I) bromide-catalyzed amidation of 2-arylpyridine derivatives and 1-methylindoles with a variety of amides was achieved by employing tert-butyl peroxide (TBP) as oxidant. Aryl halides could be tolerated under the reaction conditions. Neither a special ligand nor a base was required for this amidation process.
Chemical
bonding in the triclinic phase of 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene
(TATB) has been analyzed based on the experimental electron density
derived from X-ray diffraction data obtained at 20 K. The results
have been compared with those from solid state theoretical calculations.
The total electron density has been analyzed in terms of the Quantum
Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM). Features of the covalent bonds
demonstrate the presence of multiple bonds of various order. Strong
intramolecular hydrogen bonds and weaker intermolecular bonds within
the layer structure are characterized by the properties of their (3,
−1) critical points. Weaker interactions, predominantly O···O,
between the layers have additionally been characterized. Integrated
atomic charges are also reported. The importance of correcting the
primary X-ray data for λ/2 contamination is discussed.
The reaction of nitric oxide with benzyl cyanide in the presence of potassium methoxide at low temperature gave the dipotassium salt of a bis-diazeniumdiolate 2 in excellent yield. Two new stereospecific syntheses of E or Z 2-(hydroxyimino)-2-phenylacetonitrile from 2 have been found. The thermodynamics of the E/Z isomerization has been investigated spectroscopically in solution, in the solid state by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and theoretically in the gas phase. Evidence of catalysis by NO of E/Z oxime isomerization has been observed.
Herein, we report the conjugate addition of a,bunsaturated carbonyl compounds to thiophene derivatives. We used a2 -iodoimidazolinium triflate salt as ah alogenbonding donor,w hich afforded moderate-to-excellent yields of the corresponding alkylated thiophenes. Insight into the catalytic process was obtained from 1 HNMR spectroscopy studies and DFT calculations, which indicated ah alogenbonding-supportedm echanism with limited Brønsted acid catalysis.
Low-temperature X-ray and neutron diffraction experiments are used to characterize the electron-density distribution and intermolecular interactions in the insoluble carbonate salt of a 2,6-pyridine-bis(iminoguanidine), a potential CO2 sequestering agent. The importance of the hydrogen-bonding ability of the cation to the anion–water structure is discussed.
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.
