TL;DR: The coordination geometry of the central atom in diorganotellurium(IV) halides, almost invariably described as ψ- trigonal bipyramidal, is in fact much more diversified.
Abstract: The coordination geometry of the central atom in diorganotellurium(IV) halides, almost invariably described as ψ- trigonal bipyramidal, is in fact much more diversified. If intra and intermolecular secondary bonds and electron lone pairs are considered ψ-trigonal bipyramidal, ψ-octahedral, ψ-pentagonal bipyramidal and some others coordination geometries can be identified. A careful reexamination of a number of published structures is presented, with the analysis of the coordination polyhedra.

TL;DR: The reaction of aryloxyacetic acid with thiocarbohydrazide under condition of fusion gave the corresponding s-triazole derivatives 2a-c as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The reaction of aryloxyacetic acid with thiocarbohydrazide under condition of fusion gave the corresponding s-triazole derivatives 2a-c. The dicyano derivatives 3, 4 were obtained via reaction of compound 2c with [bis(methylsulfanyl)methylidine]malononitrile and/or ethoxymethylenemalononitrile. Interaction of compound 2c with bromomalononitrile yielded the corresponding triazolothiadiazine derivative 5. In addition reaction of compound 2c with phenyl isothiocyanate furnished triazolothiadiazole derivative 6. Fusion of arylaminoacetic acids 8, 9 with thiocarbohydrazide afforded s-triazole derivatives 10, 11, respectively. The reaction of benzylthioacetic acid 12 with thiocarbohydrazide yielded the triazole derivative 13, When cyanoacetic acid 14 was reacted with thiocarbohydrazide the pyrazolotriazole derivative 16 was obtained. Some of the obtained compounds showed remarkable antifungal activity comparable to the fungicide Mycostatine.

TL;DR: In this article, a range of new ureylene and thioureylene-bisphosphonates, prepared as potential profungicides of ampropylfos, proved to be inactive as seed dressings.
Abstract: α-Aminopropane-phosphonous,-methylphosphinic, and-phenylphosphinic acids do not exhibit comparable antifungal activity to that shown by α-aminopropanephosphonic acid (ampropylfos) against Drechslera teres, when applied as seed dressings. It is concluded that the phosphonic acid function is necessary for this type of activity. Moderate activity against several organisms was nevertheless shown by α-aminopropane-and α-aminoethane-phosphonous acids in foliar spray tests, although longer chain compounds were found to be inactive, α-Ureidopropanephosphonate (ammonium salt) also showed activity in foliar tests at 1000 ppm. A range of new ureylene-and thioureylene-bisphosphonates, prepared as potential profungicides of ampropylfos, proved to be inactive as seed dressings although tetrakis(2,2,2-trifluoroethyl) thioureylenebis(1-propylphosphonate) gave 75–100% control of Puccinia recondita as a foliar spray (1000 ppm). Characterization of the various compounds by nmr spectroscopy and mass spectrometry is ...

TL;DR: Eleven new bisphosphonates were prepared from naturally-occurring 1-amino acids and showed moderate to no anti-resorptive activity, but two compounds were more active than clodronate, but less than alendronate.
Abstract: Eleven new bisphosphonates were prepared from naturally-occurring 1-amino acids. The synthesis required special attention to amino and side-chain protections. The novel compounds were tested in TPTX (thyroparathyroidectomized) rats against arotinoid-induced hypercalcemia and were compared to alendronate. Most of the compounds showed moderate to no anti-resorptive activity. Two compounds were more active than clodronate, but less than alendronate. Limited SAR conclusions were drawn.

TL;DR: In this article, the ring opening of 3-aryl-S-phenyl-2(3H)-furanones (la-c) with benzylamine at 100°C in the absence of solvents was observed.
Abstract: Upon heating 3-aryl-S-phenyl-2(3H)-furanones (la-c) with benzylamine at 100°C in the absence of solvents, ring opening occurred with the formation of the corresponding N-benzylamides (3a-c). When the latter compounds (3a-c) were allowed to react with thionyl chloride at room temperature, the corresponding isothiazolones (4a-c) were obtained. Treatment of the isothiazolones (4a-c) with sodium hydroxide in benzene at room temperature affected debenzoylation to give the corresponding 2-benzyl-4-aryl-3(2H)-isothiazolones (5a-c).

TL;DR: In this paper, a cyclic polychalcogenides containing a variety of heavier main group elements of groups 13, 14, and 15 as ring members have been synthesized as stable crystalline compounds by taking advantage of an effective steric protection group, 2,4,6-tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]-phenyl.
Abstract: Novel cyclic polychalcogenides containing a variety of heavier main group elements of groups 13, 14, and 15 as ring members have been synthesized as stable crystalline compounds by taking advantage of an effective steric protection group, 2,4,6-tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]-phenyl (denoted as Tbt in this article). The molecular structures of tetrachalcogenametallolanes of group 14 elements, Tbt(R)ME4 (M = Si, Ge, Sn, and Pb; E = S, Se), and some polysulfides containing antimony or boron atom as a ring member were analyzed by X-ray crystallography to elucidate the skeletal features of these novel ring systems. Dechalcogenation reactions of these cyclic polychalcogenides with trivalent phosphorus reagents provide new and useful synthetic methods for the doubly bonded compouds between the corresponding heavier main group element and a chalcogen atom, a novel class of low-coordinate compounds in the main group element chemistry.

TL;DR: The best results were obtained with s-BuLi/TMEDA in hexane and diethyl ether at -78°C as mentioned in this paper, with the CH2O group being deprotonated preferentially over the CHO group (3:1 versus 2,5:1).
Abstract: The regioselectivity of metallation of hexyl diisopropyl phosphate (1) depends on the solvent, the temperature, and the base used. The best results are obtained with s-BuLi/TMEDA in hexane and diethyl ether at -78°C. the CH2O group being deprotonated preferentially over the CHO group (3:1 versus 2,5:1). The intermediate phosphonyloxy-substituted alkyllithiums (±)-4 and (±)-5 rearrange to phosphonates (±)-6 and (±)-7, respectively. The isopropyl groups can be replaced by t-butyl groups to direct metallation exclusively to CH2O. Homochiral diamines in place of TMEDA give chiral, nonracemic α-hydroxyphosphonates.

TL;DR: In this paper, the free hydroxyl and carboxyl groups of a series of polyphenol-containing olive oil model compounds with 2-chloro-4, 4,4,5, 5,5-tetramethyl-dioxaphospholane were used to obtain valuable information about polyphenols that are present in olive oils.
Abstract: Phosphitylation of the free hydroxyl and carboxyl groups of a series of polyphenol-containing olive oil model compounds with 2-chloro-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-dioxaphospholane allows their classification on the basis of 31P NMR chemical shifts. Unambiguous assignment of the 31P NMR chemical shifts of the dihydroxy- and polyhydroxy-phenols has been achieved by employing one and two-dimensional NMR techniques. Furthermore, integration of the appropriate signals of the hydroxyl derivatives in the corresponding 31P NMR spectra allows the quantification of these compounds. This study forms the basis for the development of a novel and sensitive method that can be used to obtain valuable information about polyphenols that are present in olive oils.

TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of 19 newly synthesized cyclic aminophosphonic acid derivatives was described and their biological activity studied and it was found, as in the case of the previously described series of acyclic analogues, that the phytotoxicity of the compounds, tested on aquatic plant Spirodela oligorrhaza depended mainly on their hydrophobic parameters.
Abstract: The synthesis of 19 newly synthesized cyclic aminophosphonic acid derivatives was described and their biological activity studied. It was found, as in the case of the previously described series of acyclic analogues, that the phytotoxicity of the compounds, tested on aquatic plant Spirodela oligorrhaza depended mainly on their hydrophobic parameters. The most pronounced phytotoxicity, the measure of which was concentration of aminophosphonates causing 50% inhibition of plant growth (EC50), exhibited compounds with not too long hydrocarbon substituent on the nitrogen atom (8–10 carbon atoms) and branched propyl groups on the phosphorus atom. The test had preliminary character and permitted to eliminate the less promising compounds for further studies.

Abstract: Acylals react with 1,3-propanedithiol, 1,2-ethanedithiol and 2-mercaptoethanol in the presence of silica chloride to give 1,3-dithianes, 1,3-dithiolnnes and 1,3-oxathiolanes in excellent yields in CH2Cl2 at room temperature. It has been observed that acylals were more reactive than their aldehydes hut less reactive than acetals and ketals. Also aliphatic acylals survive under these conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the reaction between dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates and triphenylphosphine by arylsulfonamides leads to vinylphosphonium salts, which undergoes Michael addition with the conjugate base of the NH-acid to produce highly functionalized, salt free phosphorus ylides in good yields.
Abstract: Protonation of the reactive 1:1 intermediate produced in the reaction between dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates and triphenylphosphine by arylsulfonamides leads to vinylphosphonium salts, which undergoes Michael addition with the conjugate base of the NH-acid to produce highly functionalized, salt-free phosphorus ylides in good yields. These stable ylides exist as a mixture of two geometrical isomers as a result of restricted rotation around the carbon-carbon partial double bond, resulting from conjugation of the ylide moiety with the adjacent carbonyl group.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors theoretically investigated inorganic inorganic rings [X2MYH2]2 and [XMYH]2 (X=H,F,Cl,Br,I; M=Al,Ga,In; Y=N,P,As) at the B3LYP/LANL2DZP level of theory.
Abstract: Dimeric inorganic rings [X2MYH2]2 and [XMYH]2 (X=H,F,Cl,Br,I; M=Al,Ga,In; Y=N,P,As) and related monomer compounds X2MYH2, XMYH were theoretically investigated at B3LYP /LANL2DZP level of theory. Optimized structures and standard thermodynamic parameters of gas phase dissociation reactions were obtained. Nitrogen and Al-containing rings have higher stability compared to P,As and Ga,In systems; substituents X have minor effect on M-Y dissociation energy. [X2MNH2]2 dimers are stable in the gas phase up to 1100–1300K.

TL;DR: The triad tribenzylphosphite-iodine-pyridine offers a general selective method for phosphorylation reactions of primary alcohols of unprotected α-diols and polyols.
Abstract: The triad tribenzylphosphite-iodine-pyridine offers a general selective method for phosphorylation reactions of primary alcohols of unprotected α-diols and polyols. A mechanistic study by 31P NMR allowed to evidence the formation, from iododibenzyl phosphate and pyridine, of a very reactive pyridinium salt intermediate. This analysis shows that pyridine behaves as a covalent catalyst like DMAP in acylation reactions from acylchloride. Due to its steric hindrance and high reactivity, this species appears to be the efficient selective phosphorylation reagent but leads to dibenzylphosphoric esters. Under mild conditions, the cleavage of benzyl groups gives monoester phosphoric acid.

TL;DR: In this paper, the present state of the preparations and chemical properties of perfluoroalkyl compounds, mainly trifluoromethyl tellurium compounds, are summarized.
Abstract: This paper summarizes the present state of the preparations and chemical properties of perfluoroalkyl, mainly trifluoromethyl tellurium compounds. Te(CF3)2 is a reactive educt for trifluoromethyl transfer reactions in inorganic and organic syntheses. CF3TeTeCF3 is used as a starting material for preparations of CF3Te compounds, e.g. Hg(TeCF3)2, CF3Tel. The pyrolysis of (CH3)3SnTeCF3 gives difluoro telluroketone. Te(CF3)2 is easily oxidized to yield trifluoromethyl tellurium(IV) derivatives. The preparations and properties of many compounds of the composition (CF3)2TeX2 are described. Nucleophilic trifluoromethylation of (CF3)2TeCl2 yields tetrakis(trifluoromethyl) tellurium(IV).

TL;DR: White phosphorus readily reacts with 2-chloro-5-(chloromethyl)thiophene under phase-transfer conditions (KOH, water, dioxane, benzyltriethylammonium chloride, 50-52°C, 3 h) to form tris[(5-chlom-2-thienyl)methyl]phosphine oxide in good yield as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: White phosphorus readily reacts with 2-chloro-5-(chloromethyl)thiophene under phase-transfer conditions (KOH, water, dioxane, benzyltriethylammonium chloride, 50–52°C, 3 h) to form tris[(5-chloro-2-thienyl)methyl]phosphine oxide in good yield. This new phosphine oxide undergoes the Wittig - Homer reaction with benzaldehyde (NaNH2/THF system) leading to 2-chloro-5-|(E)-2-phenylethenyllthiophen and bis[(5-chlom-2-thienyl)methyl]phosphinic acid.
