Synthesis of novel cyclodextrin derivatives by aromatic spacer insertion and their inclusion ability

Novel cyclic host molecules were synthesized by the insertion of three types of aromatic spacers into the skeleton of permethylated α-cyclodextrin. These host molecules formed a 1:1 complex with sodium 3- and 4-nitrobenzenesulfonates (3- and 4-NBS), and s

Synthesis of new organosilicon compounds by CS2: Mercapto-silyl-thiones

A new type of chemistry of carbon disulfide proceeding by way of nucleophilic attack of tris(trimethylsilyl)methyllithium (TsiLi) at carbon of carbon disulfide is reported. The treatment of TsiLi and CS2 with some symmetrical and unsymmetrical

Silicaphosphine (Silphos): A filterable reagent for the conversion of alcohols and thiols to alkyl bromides and iodides

Silicaphosphine (Silphos), [P(Cl)3-n(SiO2) n], as a new heterogeneous reagent is introduced. This reagent converts alcohols and thiols to their corresponding bromides and iodides in the presence of X2 (X=Br, I) in refluxing CH3CN in high to quantitative yields. Use of Silphos provides a highly practical method for the easy separation of the Silphos oxide byproduct by a simple filtration.
