Abstract It is difficult to achieve nucleophilic attack on a carbon atom bonded on two trifluoromethyl groups. However, N-[1-chloro-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethyl]-dimethylformamidine (1) reacts readily with H2O, MeOH, EtSH and P(OMe)3 even under mild conditions to form products 2, 3, 4 and 5. The reaction between 1 and Ph2PH is complex but leads in nearly quantitative yield to N-[2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(trifluoromethyl)ethyl]-dimethylformamidinium chloride 6 which has been characterized by an X-ray structure analysis. A reaction mechanism is proposed.

Extraction of Ceanothus americanus (Jersey Tea) has afforded a new pentacyclic triterpenoid of the empirical formula C29H42O4. It is a dicarboxylic acid containing two ethylenic linkages. The environment of one carboxyl group and one ethylenic linkage has been shown by diagnostic transformations characteristic of ring E of the lupeol–betulin series. The other ethylenic linkage has been shown to be present in a contracted ring A from which one carbon atom has been lost. The position of the second carboxyl group has been established by introduction of the 11-oxo-12-ene system, when monodecarboxylation occurred under mild conditions. This and other evidence establishes ceanothenic acid to be A-norlupa-1,22-diene-14,17-dicarboxylic acid.

Fullerene molecules are created entirely of carbon and form orbicular or ellipsoidal cage shape similar to a hollow tube. The derivatives of fullerenes are classified into the following categories according to their functionalization: endohedral fullerenes with active molecules residing inside the carbon cage, exohedral with wide variety of both inorganic and organic groups existing outside and connected to the fullerenes’ exterior and heterofullerenes when one or more carbon atoms that form the fullerene carbon cage are replaced by a non-carbon atom, i.e. a heteroatom. Fullerene C240belongs to the family of giant fullerenes and is characterized by a greater stability than that of the well-known fullerene C60. This has been proved by observing an increased formation heat that accompanied the decreasing of the carbon cage size.In order to determine the fullerene C240 ability to transport the steroid hormones: estradiol, progesterone, androsterone and their basic structures: estrone, androstane and pregnane, the following parameters, inter alia, have been calculated: energies of stabilization, interaction and deformation of each endohedral complex. The calculations for all chosen structures were carried out with the use of the molecular modeling technique. Based on all available studies, it can be stated that fullerene C240 could be a solution for problems faced by medicine and pharmacy.

Under normal circumstances, Pt dissolves only a very small amount of interstitial carbon in solid solution. Even so, an appropriate quench/age treatment leads to the formation of stable Pt2C {100} plate precipitates. Excess (quenched-in) vacancies play a critical role in the process by accommodating the volume and structural changes that accompany the transformation. This alloy system exhibits other interesting properties. Due to a large vacancy/carbon atom binding energy, Pt can absorb excess carbon at high temperatures in a carburizing atmosphere. In regions rich in carbon and vacancies, another carbide phase, Pt7C which undergoes an order-disorder reaction was formed. The present study of Pt carburized at 1160°C and aged at 515°C shows that other carbides in the PtxC series can be produced.

Carbon-Fluorine (C-F) bonds are considered the most inert organic functionality and their selective transformation under mild conditions remains challenging. Herein, we report a highly active Pt-Pd nanoalloy as a robust catalyst for the transformation of C-F bonds into C-H bonds at low temperature, a reaction that often required harsh conditions. The alloying of Pt with Pd is crucial to activate C-F bond. The reaction profile kinetics revealed that the major source of hydrogen in the defluorinated product is the alcoholic proton of 2-propanol, and the rate-determining step is the reduction of the metal upon transfer of the <i>beta</i>-H from 2-propanol. DFT calculations elucidated that the key step is the selective oxidative addition of the O-H bond of 2-propanol to a Pd center prior to C-F bond activation at a Pt site, which crucially reduces the activation energy of the C-F bond. Therefore, both Pt and Pd work independently but synergistically to promote the overall reaction

Anthracene derivatives have been used for a wide range of applications and many different synthetic methods for their preparation have been developed. However, despite continued synthetic efforts, introducing substituents in some positions has remained difficult. Here we present a method for the synthesis of 2,3,6,7-substituted anthracene derivatives, one of the most challenging anthracene substitution patterns to obtain. The method is exemplified by the preparation of 2,3,6,7-anthracenetetracarbonitrile and employs a newly developed, stable protected 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarbaldehyde as the precursor. The precursor can be obtained in two scalable synthetic steps from 2,5-dibromoterephthalaldehyde and is converted into the anthracene derivative by a double intermolecular Wittig reaction under very mild conditions followed by a deprotection and intramolecular double ring-closing condensation reaction. Further modification of the precursor is expected to enable the introduction of additional substituents in other positions and may even enable the synthesis of fully substituted anthracene derivatives by the presented approach.<br>
