Calixarenes are supramolecular structures characterized by their “calix” shape and their easy synthetic accessibility. They are amphiphilic in nature, thus they can bear in their structure both hydrophobic and hydrophilic features as well as charged groups. They are characterized by architectural plasticity responsible for their unique fine-tuned properties that can be shaped for an array of applications. Herein, we will Read More

As one of the most important chemical reactions, SN2 reactions play a central role in both synthetic chemistry and the development of mechanistic paradigms. Most of the previous attention has centered on substitution at carbon, whereas displacement at nitrogen is clearly less studied and less understood. The SN2@N reactions have enormous synthetic potential, especially in heterocyclic chemistry, which is a cornerstone of me Read More

Benzofuran derivatives and benzofuransare presented as scaffolds in complex molecules and have attracted much attention and prevalent interest due to their interesting biological activity. They also exist in several numbers of naturally occurring compounds and exhibiting biological activity. In this review, we will try to underscore the reactivity of benzofurans through comprehension and giving a full perspective to the readers.

The mechanism for the T3P®-promoted derivatizations of five-membered cyclic phosphinic acids was studied by theoretical calculations using the DFT method at the B3LYP/6- 31g(d,p)\\6-311g(2d,2p) level in order to elucidate the role of T3P® and interpret the experimental results. The esterification and amidation of 1-hydroxy-3-methyl-3-phospholene 1-oxide, along with the esterification of 1-hydroxy-3,4-dimethylphosp Read More

Nano-ferroferric oxide (Nano-Fe3O4) can be used as a ferrite absorbing material when exposed to microwave absorption due to its high magnetic permeability. However, a single nanometer-sized material has a narrow frequency range for its reflection absorption wave during the secondary polymerization process used for preparing nanomaterials. In this study, mesoporous materials and nano-Fe3O4 were used to prepare a Read More
