PEG-embedded potassium tribromide ([K+PEG]Br3 −) was found to be an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of functionalized piperidines in high yields in a one step, three component coupling between aldehyde, amine and β-keto ester. At the end of the reaction the [K+PEG]Br3 − was readily regenerated from the reaction mixture by treating the residue containing [K+PEG]Br− with molecular bromine.

A new method for fast and simple synthesis of crystalline TiO2 nanoparticles with photocatalytic activity was developed by carrying out a classic sol–gel reaction directly under vacuum. The use of microwaves for fast heating of the reaction medium further reduces synthesis times. When the solvent is completely removed by vacuum, the product is obtained in the form of a powder that can be easily redispersed in water to yield a stable nanoparticle suspension, exhibiting a comparable photocatalytic activity with respect to a commercial product. The present methodology can, therefore, be considered a process intensification procedure for the production of nanotitania.

<div> <p>Amphiphilic ligands are valued for their ability to facilitate organometallic reactions in the presence of water. The regioselective sulfonation of a series of commercially available biaryl monophosphines to generate amphiphilic ligands is presented. In this one-step protocol, the temperature and addition of fuming sulfuric acid were carefully controlled to arrive at sulfonated biaryl monophosphine ligands in high yields with >95% regioselectivity without the need for chromatographic purification.</p> </div>

The present paper describes the synthesis of new palladium–oxazoline complexes in one step with good to high yields (68–95%). The oxazolines were prepared from enantiomerically pure α-aminoalcohols. The structures of the synthesized palladium complexes were confirmed by NMR, FTIR, TOFMS, UV–visible spectroscopic analysis and X–ray diffraction. The optical properties of the complexes were evaluated by the determination of the gap energy values (E g) ranging between 2.34 and 3.21 eV. Their catalytic activities were tested for the degradation of Eriochrome Blue Black B (a model of azo dyes) in the presence of an ecological oxidant (H2O2). The efficiency of the decolorization has been confirmed via UV–visible spectroscopic analysis and the factors affecting the degradation phenomenon have been studied. The removal of the Eriochrome reached high yields. We have found that the complex 9 promoted 84% of color elimination within 5 min (C 0 = 30 mg/L, T = 22 °C, pH 7, H2O2 = 0.5 mL) and the energetic parameters have been also determined.

AbstractHigher-order cycloadditions are a powerful strategy for the construction of polycycles in one step. However, an efficient and concise version for the induction of asymmetry is lacking. N-heterocyclic carbenes are widely used organocatalysts for asymmetric synthesis and could be an ideal choice for enantioselective higher-order cycloadditions. Here, we report an enantioselective [10 + 2] annulation between catalytically formed aza-benzofulvene intermediates and trifluoromethyl ketone derivatives. This protocol exhibits a wide scope, high yields, and good ee values, reflecting a robust and efficient higher-order cycloaddition. Density functional theory calculations provide an accurate prediction of the reaction enantioselectivity, and in-depth insight to the origins of stereocontrol.

A novel reagent system is described for the efficient, one-step transformation of hydroxyl groups in carbohydrates to bromodeoxy groups. The reaction proceeds with inversion of configuration. The reagent system consists of triphenylphosphine, tribromoimidazole, and imidazole in toluene at elevated temperature. The carbohydrate need not be soluble in toluene. The examples given include substitution of isolated primary and secondary hydroxyl groups in otherwise protected carbohydrates as well as disubstitution involving one primary and one secondary position in hexopyranosides. High yields are obtained in the replacement of hydroxyl by bromine in the 2-position of 3,4,6-protected methyl α-D-gluco- and -mannopyranosides.

A one-step conversion of 3-aryl-3-(2-aminophenyl)-1-propyn-3-ols into quinoline-2(1 H)-thiones and quinoline-2(1 H)-selones was achieved only by treating the substrates with n-butyllithium and either elemental sulfur or selenium, respectively. The reactions were assumed to proceed through an intramolecular nucleophilic attack of the neighboring amino group to the plausible in situ generated reactive species related to chalcogenoketenes. The subsequent mCPBA oxidation of quinoline-2(1 H)-selones afforded quinolin-2(1 H)-ones in high yields.


To discover the reactions undergone in plants by organophosphorus compounds of the type used as insecticides the non-ionizable metabolites of several compounds were studied. Octamethylpyrophosphoramide (schradan) is degraded in four species of plants. Low yields of heptamethylpyrophosphoramide and a powerful anticholinesterase are obtained besides ionizable compounds. Oxidation of schradan with hydrogen peroxide and with oxygenated liver slices gives the same products in similar proportions. Thus plants probably degrade schradan by oxidation, producing mainly compounds unstable in water, which are hydrolyzed to substituted phosphoric acids. The powerful anticholinesterase is believed to be hydroxymethyl-heptamethylpyrophosphoramide from its chloroform/water partition coefficient and its yield in plants. It may, however, be octamethylpyrophosphoramidic oxide. Turnip plants also degrade the dimethylamide, monomethylamide, n -butylamide, iso propylamide and ethyl ester of tetramethylphosphorodiamidic acid. As these compounds contain no acidic group which can be removed by hydrolysis after oxidation, high yields of compounds extractable from water by chloroform are obtained. None of the parent compounds are hydrolyzed, nor are butyl or wopropyl groups removed in one step. Probably the dimethylamide is demethylated to the monomethylamide in a way similar to schradan. The physical properties of the degradation products of the other compounds indicate that only the dimethylamido groups are attacked, the other groups being inert. OO -diethyl O -ethylthioethyl phosphorothionate is converted in plants to at least three compounds extractable by chloroform. Their structures are unknown. OO -diethyl S -ethylthioethyl phosphorothiolate is oxidized rapidly in plants to OO -diethyl S -ethylsulphinylethyl phosphorothiolate and another compound of unknown structure, both of which are more stable in plants than the parent compound. The same products are formed by the action of hydrogen peroxide on the parent compound. Thus a number of organophosphorus compounds are degraded by oxidation in plants. There is no evidence that their hydrolysis is catalyzed.
