Sodium trimethoxyborohydride or a 1:3 mixture of sodium borohydride and sodium tetramethylborate reacts with a number of vicinal dibromides to form the corresponding olefin. Variable (sometimes good) yields were obtained when the bromine atoms were on secondary or tertiary carbons, but little or no olefin was detected when one bromine was primary.

We studied three process modifications to investigate their effects on the property and yield recovery capabilities of kraft pulping integrated with hemicellulose pre-extraction of southern pine. Loblolly pine chips were pre-extracted with hot water until the sugar extraction yield reached the targeted value of 10% and then subjected to conventional and modified kraft pulping. Modification included polysulfide pretreatment; polysulfide-sodium borohydride dual pretreatment, and polysulfide followed by polysulfide-sodium borohydride dual pretreatment two-stage pretreatments prior to kraft pulping. In the first modification, about 5% of the lost pulp yield (total 7%) caused by hemicellulose pre-extraction could be recovered with 15%-20% polysulfide pretreatment. Complete recovery (7%) was achieved with simultaneous pretreatment using 15% polysulfide and 0.5% sodium borohydride with 0.1% anthraquinone in polysulfide-sodium borohydride dual pretreatment. Two-stage pretreatment using recycled 15% polysulfide followed by simultaneous treatment of 6% polysulfide and 0.4%–0.5% sodium borohydride with 0.1% anthraquinone also achieved 100% yield recovery. Continuous recycling of 15% polysulfide employed in the two-stage process modification maintained its yield protection efficiency in a repeated recycling cycle. No significant changes in paper strength were found in handsheets prepared from the three process modifications, except for a minor reduction in tear strength.

Silver nanoplates (SNPs) having different size were synthesized by a seed-mediated method. The seeds -silver nanoparticles with 4 – 6 nm diameters were synthesized first by reducing silver nitrate with sodium borohydride in the present of Trisodium Citrate and Hydrogen peroxide. Then these seeds were developed by continue reducing Ag\(^+\) ions with various amount of L-Ascorbic acid to form SNPs. Our analysis showed that the concentratrion of L-Ascorbic acid, a secondary reducing agent, played an important role to form SNPs. In addition, the size and in-plane dipole plasmon resonance wavelenght of silver nanoplates were increased when the concentration of added silver nitrate increased. The characterization of SNPs were studied by UV-Vis, FE-SEM, EDS and TEM methods.

<p>The masked Ti(II) synthon (<sup>Ket</sup>guan)(<i>η</i><sup>6</sup>-Im<sup>Dipp</sup>N)Ti (<b>1</b>) oxidatively adds across thiophene to give ring-opened (<sup>Ket</sup>guan)(Im<sup>Dipp</sup>N)Ti[<i>κ</i><sup>2</sup>-<i>S</i>(CH)<sub>3</sub><i>C</i>H] (<b>2</b>). Complex <b>2</b> is photosensitive, and upon exposure to light, reductively eliminates thiophene to regenerate <b>1</b> – a rare example of early-metal mediated oxidative-addition/reductive-elimination chemistry. DFT calculations indicate strong titanium π-backdonation to the thiophene π*-orbitals leads to the observed thiophene ring opening across titanium, while a proposed photoinduced LMCT promotes the reverse thiophene elimination from <b>2</b>. Finally, pressurizing solutions of <b>2 </b>with H<sub>2</sub> (150 psi) at 80 °C leads to the hydrodesulfurization of thiophene to give the Ti(IV) sulfide (<sup>Ket</sup>guan)(Im<sup>Dipp</sup>N)Ti(S) (<b>3</b>) and butane. </p>

<p>Herein we report a sulfur (IV) mediated cross-coupling for facile synthesis of heteroaromatic substrates. Addition of heteroaryl nucleophiles onto a simple, readily-accessible alkyl sulfinyl (IV) chloride allows formation of a trigonal bipyramidal sulfurane intermediate. Reductive elimination therefrom provides bis-heteroaryl products in a practical and efficient fashion. <br></p>

<div>While carbon-heteroatom cross coupling reactions have been extensively studied, many methods are specific and</div><div>limited to a set of substrates or functional groups. Reported here is a method that allows for C-O, C-N and C-S cross coupling reactions under one general methodology. We propose that an energy transfer pathway, in which an iridium photosensitizer produces an excited nickel (II) complex, is responsible for the key reductive elimination step that couples aryl halides to 1° and 2° alcohols, anilines, thiophenols, carbamates and sulfonamides.</div>

Lactones VI-IX were prepared on reduction of anhydrides of 4-aryl-1-methoxynaphthalene-2,3-dicarboxylic acids IV and V with sodium borohydride in methanol. Catalytic hydrogenation on platinum of lactones VIII and IX gave lactones with hydrogenated ring A, or A and C. Lactones XII and XIII were found to possess an inhibitory effect on the growth of the tumour S 37 in experimental animals.
