Usage

General Description

Magnesium dipropionate is a type of magnesium supplement that is made from a combination of magnesium and dipropionic acid. It is often used to help increase magnesium levels in the body, as magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a key role in many bodily functions, including muscle and nerve function, blood sugar control, and bone health. The dipropionate form of magnesium is believed to be more easily absorbed by the body compared to other forms of magnesium. It is commonly used as a dietary supplement to help support overall health and well-being. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before taking magnesium dipropionate as a supplement, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.

Iron-mediated coupling of carbon dioxide and ethylene: Macrocyclic metallalactones enable access to various carboxylates

Treatment of (iPrPDI)Fe(N2)2 (iPrPDI, 2,6-(2,6-iPr2C6H3Na? CMe)2C5H3N) with CO2 and ethylene resulted in the formation of a homologous series of saturated and unsaturated iron carboxylate products, (iPrPDI)Fe(O2CR), the distribution of which depends on the ratio of the reagents. The solid-state and electronic structures of a saturated product, (iPrPDI)Fe(O2CC2H5), were elucidated. Product distributions, deuterium labeling studies, and stoichiometric experiments support initial formation of a five-membered metallalactone intermediate, which undergoes subsequent ethylene insertions to generate macrocyclic metallalactones. Competitive β-hydride elimination, CO2 insertion, or reaction with H2 determines the fate of the metallalactone, the latter accounting for formation of iron complexes with saturated carboxylates. Similar reactivity was observed upon addition of propiolactone and ethylene to (iPrPDI)Fe(N2)2, supporting C-O oxidative addition and C-C bond formation through metallacycle intermediates.
