A copper(II)-catalyzed borylation of alkyl halides with bis(pinacolato)diboron (B2pin2) has been developed, which can be carried out in air, providing a wide range primary, secondary, and some tertiary alkylboronates high yields. variety functional groups are tolerated the protocol is also applicable to unactivated chlorides (including 1,1- 1,2-dichlorides). Preliminary mechanistic investigations show that this reaction involves one-electron processes.
In the context of our longstanding interest in subvalent boron compounds, we targeted liberation a carbene-stabilized borylene from suitable organoboron precursor. For this purpose, tested 7-borabicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-dienes (or 7-boranorbornadienes short) obtained facile [4 + 2] cycloaddition boroles and alkynes. By formation Lewis adduct with an N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC), intended to block previously reported pericyclic reactions leading undesired ring expansion achieve cheletropic...
In this work, a yttrium aluminosilicate glass-ceramic was employed to join two different SiC/SiC ceramic matrix composites be used as radiant tube furnace components for energy-intensive industries, such steelmaking. Two joining processes are reported. The joints were morphologically characterized using scanning electron microscopy, and they mechanically tested the single-lap offset shear test at room temperature, where failure caused by delamination of composite, thus denoting an excellent...
The naphthoquinone droserone (1) is a natural product occurring in dicotyledonous plants. We have now observed that the addition of 1 during infection tissue culture cells with measles virus considerably reduced infection. Interestingly, was inhibited only when added entry, but not to prior uptake or after uptake. These findings suggest interacts viral particles reduce infectivity. formation progeny 50 % by at concentration (IC50) approximately 2 µM half-maximal cytotoxicity (CC50) about 60...
Abstract Carbon foams with and without functional particles were prepared via a simple direct foaming process. The carbon composed of pyrolytic graphite. In the additional particles, latter integrated directly in These catalytic material Saponite induction heat‐able MagSilica ® . characterized including heatability. also successfully tested an heated lab‐scale reactor for case study reaction, ethanol to 1,3‐butadiene.
Fiber coatings for BN/SiC-and BN/Si 3 N 4 -bilayer systems were developed the use in SiC/SiC composites. All produced with high process velocities of 500 m/h by a continuous roll-to-roll dip-coating process. The fiber surface was fully covered homogeneous coating and without bridging. Tensile tests bundles used to examine potential degradation properties due application coatings. coated showed reduction maximum tensile load 90.0 % 86.7 BN/SiC comparison bundle as-received state.
