Carbon selective synthesis

Fluormated organosilanes are used as reagents for the construction of carbon-carbon bonds and for the selective synthesis of phosphate esters... 

The identity in sign and similarity in optical rotations of sultones (+)-52A,B, obtained from (—)-49A and (+)-49B, indicate that the absolute configuration of the y-carbon in both sultones as well as in both sultines is the same. In conclusion, the authors suggested113,114 that of the four possibilities shown below, y-sultines 48A-51A and 48B-51B may be assigned the (R)c-(Sf and (R)c-(Rf absolute configurations, respectively. Although initiated by mechanistic interest, this study has also resulted in a new method for selective synthesis of... 

The aim of this volume is to convince the reader that metal carbene complexes have made their way from organometallic curiosities to valuable - and in part unique - reagents for application in synthesis and catalysis. But it is for sure that this development over 4 decades is not the end of the story there is both a need and considerable potential for functional organometallics such as metal carbon multiple bond species which further offer exciting perspectives in selective synthesis and catalysis as well as in reactions applied to natural products and complex molecules required for chemical architectures and material science. 

Recently Lin and coworkers have developed a selective synthesis of N-acyl and 0-acyl propanolol vinyl derivatives by enzyme-catalyzed acylation of propanolol using divinyl dicarboxylates with different carbon chain lengths (Scheme 7.10) [24]. Lipase AY30 in diisopropyl ether demonstrated high chemoselectivity toward the amino... 

C coupling has very little significance in everyday proton NMR interpretation, though it has been used in the past to crack specific problems by means of selective enrichment of a specific carbon during synthesis, with a greater than normal percentage of 13C isotope, which makes detection easy. 

Selective Synthesis of Carbon Nanofibers as Better Catalyst Supports for Low-temperature Fuel Cells... 

Five main types of CNFs, platelet (P-CNF), tubular (T-CNF), thick herringbone (thick FI-CNF), thin herringbone (thin H-CNF) and very thin herringbone (very thin FI-CNF) vere selectively prepared and examined as supports of anode catalysts for DMFCs. P-CNF was synthesized from carbon monoxide over a pure iron catalyst at 600 °C, whereas thick H-CNF was obtained from ethylene over a copper-nickel catalyst [Cu-Ni (2 8 w/w)]. An Fe-Ni alloy (6 4 w/w) was used for the selective synthesis of T-CNFs from carbon monoxide gas at 650 °C [15, 16]. 

The reaction of dimethyl carbonate with synthesis gas requires a cobalt-iodide catalyst and operating conditions of 180 C and 4000 psig. The acetaldehyde rate approaches 30 M/hr with selectivities greater than 85%. The productivities are much better than with methanol however, recycle of the CO and methanol back to dimethyl carbonate is very difficult ... 

Selective synthesis of acetylene (>90%) from methane was accomplished by microwave plasma reactions.568 Conversion of methane to acetylene by using direct current pulse discharge was performed under conditions of ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure.569 The selectivity of acetylene was >95% at methane conversion levels ranging from 16 to 52%. In this case oxygen was used to effectively remove deposited carbon and stabilize the state of discharge. Similar high... 

Recently, it has been reported that magnesium and its oxide have been used as catalysts for the highly selective synthesis of carbonate through the carbonylation of a variety of 1,2-diols such as glycol, phenyl glycol with C02, without any organic solvents or additives [223], In the presence of 0.05mmol% of Mg or MgO, a TON > 20 was achieved, with 100% selectivity.

The selective synthesis of the 2-allyltetrazoles 55 by the three-component coupling reaction of the cyano compounds 54, allyl methyl carbonate 5b, and trimethylsilyl azide 42 was accomplished in the presence of Pd2(dba)3.CHCl3 and P(2-furyl)3 (Scheme 19) [55,56]. Most probably, the formation of (r)3-allyl)( ]5-tetrazoyl)-palladium complex 56 took place through [3 + 2] dipolar cycloaddition of 7r-allylpalladium azide 44 with the nitrile 54. The complex 56 thus formed would undergo reductive elimination to form the products 55.
