Solvent- and catalyst-free gem-bisallylation of carboxylic acid derivatives with allylzinc bromide

Mild double allylboration reactions of nitriles and acid anhydrides using potassium allyltrifluoroborate

The double allylboration of nitriles and acid anhydrides to form bis-allyl amines and esters, respectively, can be achieved through the use of potassium allyltrifluoroborate in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate at room temperature. The method described is relatively mild, exhibits chemoselectivity to other electrophiles present, avoids the use of metals, and features the use of an operationally stable and robust potassium organotrifluoroborate reagent.

Synthesis and photophysical properties of aluminium tris-(4-morpholine-8-hydroxyquinoline)

Aluminium tris(4-morpholinyl-8-hydroxyquinoline) has been synthesized and characterized. The photoluminescence measurements showed that the new derivative is blue shifted and has relative photoluminescence quantum yield two times higher compared to the pristine Al tris(8-hydroxyquinoline). Deferential scanning colorimetric studies revealed that the newly synthesized Alq3 derivative in this work is amorphous material with the highest transition glass temperature value among the reported amorphous Alq3 derivatives.

Ultrasound-promoted catalyst-free one-pot four component synthesis of 2H-indazolo[2,1-b]phthalazine-triones in neutral ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide

A catalyst-free one-pot four component methodology for the synthesis of 2H-indazolo[2,1-b]phthalazine-triones under ultrasonic irradiation at room temperature using 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide, [Bmim]Br, as a neutral reaction medium is described. A broad range of structurally diverse aldehydes (aromatic aldehydes bearing electron withdrawing and/or electron releasing groups as well as heteroaromatic aldehydes) were applied successfully, and corresponding products were obtained in good to excellent yields without any byproduct.
