The mechanism of the Brønsted acid-catalyzed aza-Darzens reaction is explored by charting the stereochemical outcome of the triflic acid-promoted conversion of trans-triazolines to cis-aziridines. The
Rh(III) porphyrin complexes with bridging hydrazine and substituted hydrazine ligands were characterized in solution by 1H NMR spectroscopy and in the solid state by X-ray diffraction. Addition of fur
The synthesis of a new diboron compound, 5,5‘-bis(BMes2)-2,2‘-bipy (B2bipy, 1), has been accomplished. The conjugation of the 2,2‘-bipy unit with the two BMes2 groups in 1 has been found to greatly en
