2-(2-Oxoalkylidene)-1,3-oxazolidine derivatives were synthesized in good to excellent yields regiospecifically through the catalyst-free electrophilic ring expansion of N-unprotected aziridines and the ketene C=O double bond of α-oxoketenes, in situ generated from the microwave-assisted Wolff rearrangement of 2-diazo-1,3-diketones. The ring expansion predominantly underwent an SN1 process and the hydrogen bond decides the (E)-configuration of products. (Figure presented.).
The hydrogenation of mandelonitrile over a Pd/C catalyst: Towards a mechanistic understanding

A carbon supported Pd catalyst is used in the liquid phase hydrogenation of the aromatic cyanohydrin mandelonitrile (C6H5CH(OH)CH2CN) to afford the primary amine phenethylamine (C6H5CH2CH2NH2). Employing a batch reactor, the desired primary amine is produced in 87% selectivity at reaction completion. Detection of the by-product 2-amino-1-phenylethanol (C6H5CH(OH)CH2NH2) accounts for the remaining 13% and closes the mass balance. The reaction mechanism is investigated, with a role for both hydrogenation and hydrogenolysis processes established.
Nitration-Peroxidation of Alkenes: A Selective Approach to β-Peroxyl Nitroalkanes

Nitration-peroxidation of alkenes for the synthesis of β-peroxyl nitroalkanes has been developed by using tert-butyl nitrite and tert-butyl hydroperoxide. The method presents a new and selective difunctionalization of alkenes to introduce a nitro group and a peroxyl group across the double bonds of alkenes under mild conditions. A radical reaction pathway is proposed by experimental and theoretical studies.
