Over the last few decades, transition metal-catalyzed direct C-H activation with the assistance of a coordinating directing group has emerged as an atom- and stepeconomical synthetic tools to transform C–H bonds into carbon-carbon or carbonheteroatom bonds. Although the strategies involving regioselective C–H cleavage assisted by various directing groups have been extensively reviewed in the literature, we now atte Read More

Magnetic nanoparticles derived from iron oxide, for example, magnetite (Fe3O4) and maghemite (γ-Fe2O3), fulfill most of these requirements, and recent advances in their synthesis give access to size-controlled monodisperse particles. Hybrid magnetic materials have been synthesized from organic compounds and metal or metal oxide nanoparticles and examined as catalysts for the organic synthesis. When the reaction has Read More

N-Heterocyclic architectures are omnipresent in many bioactive natural products, synthetic drugs, and materials science, thus have evoked a vast research interest of academic, as well as industrial chemists. Recently, several efficient methods have been developed for the preparation of various nitrogen-containing compounds with in situ generated 1,2-diaza-1,3-dienes from the easily available precursors including α -halo Read More

Since Geim and co-workers reported their groundbreaking experiments on graphene, research on graphene oxide (GO) and its derivatives has greatly influenced the field of modern physics, chemistry, device fabrication, material science, and nanotechnology. The unique structure and fascinating properties of these carbon materials can be ascribed to their eminent chemical, electronic, electrochemical, optical, and me Read More

Thioxo, Oxo and Seleno diastereomeric cyclophosphamides containing 1,3,2- dioxaphosphorinane are prepared by a one-step chemical reaction. Their structural determination is carried out by means of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance NMR (31P, 1 H, 13C) and High-Resolution Mass Spectroscopy (HRMS). The conformational study of diastereomeric products is described. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations allowed the ide Read More
