Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors synthesize authentic polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) reference standards for analytical and toxicological studies, which are used as flame retardants.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The use of high-throughput experimentation (HTE) in homogeneous catalysis research for the production of fine can be found within a very short time frame as discussed by the authors. At the same time, a reliable process can be achieved because extensive imisation can be undertaken.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, rational strategies for the prepn. of all 10 2-, 3-, or 4-pyridinecarboxylic acids and all nine 2, 3-, 4-, or 8-quinolinecarboxyl acids bearing trifluoromethyl substituents at the 2-position were elaborated.

Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The potential of tetrathiafulvalene as a π-electron donor in molecular and supramolecular chemistry has been explored for more than 30 years as mentioned in this paper.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the direct conversion of allyl ethers to cyclic enol ethers using an olefin metathesis/double bond migration sequence was described, where Ruthenium carbene complexes were activated to catalyze the double bond migration step by addition of hydride sources, such as NaH or NaBH4.
