Non-hygroscopic, non-toxic, and readily available iron(III) trifluoroacetate [Fe(O2CCF3)(3)] was found to be a highly regioselective catalyst for the ring opening of a wide variety of epoxides with diverse amines under solvent-free conditions. The stereospecific ring opening of (R)-styrene oxide (4) with p-anisidine (2b) in the presence of 1 mol% of Fe(O2CCF3)(3) gave 2-(p-methoxyphenyl-amino)-2-phenylethanol (5b) in enantiopure form (> 99 % ee) within 60 minutes.

Iron(III) ion removal from solution through adsorption on chitosan
Burke, A; Yilmaz, E; Hasırcı, Nesrin; Yilmaz, O (2002-05-09)
The potential of different forms of chitosan to adsorb iron(III) ion from a Jectofer [an iron(III)-sorbitol-citric acid complex] solution was investigated. The working solution was chosen as Jectofer, to mimic the composition of excess iron(III) as may be found in biological systems. The equilibrium studies showed that chitosan powder has the highest sorption capacity for the iron(III) ion when compared to chitosan flakes and microspheres. The amount of iron(III) adsorbed onto chitosan was found to increase...
3,5-Dimethylpyrazolium Chlorochromate(VI): An Efficient Reagent for Solvent-Free Oxidation of Organic Substrates
Özdemir, Melek (Informa UK Limited, 2012-01-01)
A new chromium(VI) reagent 3,5-dimethylpyrazolium chlorochromate, C5H8N2H[CrO3Cl] (DmpzHCC), was synthesized and used for the selective oxidation of various organic compounds under solvent-free conditions with high efficiency. This new compound has certain advantages over its companion analogues in terms of controlled acidity, amount of oxidant, lack of solvent, short reaction times, and high yields.
Synthesis of n-(2-propylphenyl) substituted chiral amino alcohols and their usage in enantioselective diethylzinc addition reactions
Günler, Zeynep İnci; Tanyeli, Cihangir; Department of Chemistry (2011)
IChiral 1,2-amino alcohols were synthesized via newly developed “intramolecular unsaturation transfer” using cyclohexanone, propargyl bromide, and various chiral amino alcohols as starting components. These amino alcohols can be potential chiral ligands for many asymmetric transformation reactions. Therefore, their effectiveness as chiral ligands in diethylzinc addition to benzaldehyde and N-diphenylphosphinoyl imines were tested. Various parameters including temperature, solvent, ligand amount etc. were sc...
Metal ion functional polybenzoxazine based on phenol and 2-aminopyridine
Öztürk, Yurdagül; Hacaloğlu, Jale (2014-08-05)
A novel Co2+ ion functional benzoxazine monomer based on phenol and 2-aminopyridine was prepared, polymerized by step-wise curing and characterized via direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry in addition to classical spectrometry techniques. Curing of neat monomer yielded a highly cross-linked polymer as a consequence of competing and consecutive reactions involving the heterocyclic ring opening followed by attack of -NCH2 groups to ortho and para positions of phenol and pyridine rings and coupling of --NCH2 gro...

Keskin, Selda; Usanmaz, Ali (Wiley, 2010-07-05)
Hydroxyl-terminated poly(urethane acrylate)s were synthesized for use in biomedical applications. Acrylate end capping via an interesterification reaction was successfully achieved with methacryloyl chloride addition to the hydroxyl ends of the polyurethane at low temperatures. 2,4-Toluene diisocyanate, 1,6-hexane diisocyanate, and methylene diphenyl diisocyanate were used as diisocyanates for urethane synthesis, and they were end-capped with methyl methacrylate and hydroxyethyl methacrylate. The nature of ...
