Room temperature synthesis of perylene diimides facilitated by high amic acid solubility

A novel protocol for the synthesis of perylene diimides (PDIs), by reacting perylene dianhydride (PDA) with aliphatic amines is reported. Full conversions were obtained at temperatures between 20 and 60˚C,...

Room Temperature Synthesis of Polythioamides from Multicomponent Polymerization of Sulfur, Pyridine-activated Alkyne, and Amines

Through the design of pyridine-activated diyne monomer, the catalyst-free multicomponent polymerizations of sulfur, aromatic alkyne, and a group of commercially available primary and secondary diamines were realized at room temperature...

H2O2-mediated room temperature synthesis of 2-arylacetophenones from arylhydrazines and vinyl azides in water

An environmentally benign, cost-efficient and practical methodology for the room temperature synthesis of 2-arylacetophenones in water has been discovered.
