The Journal of organic chemistry, 77(15), 6431-6442 (2012-06-30)
Mechanisms of alkylation by PhCH(2)Cl or CH(3)I in THF and of deuteriation by DCl (4 N in D(2)O) in THF or THF-toluene of lithiated phenylacetonitrile monoanions and dianions obtained with LHMDS, LDA, or n-BuLi are studied by vibrational and NMR

Males of a variety of insects transfer an anti-aphrodisiac pheromone to females during mating that renders them less attractive to conspecific males. In cabbage white butterflies, the transfer of an anti-aphrodisiac can result in the unwanted attraction of tiny egg

The Journal of organic chemistry, 72(16), 5994-6005 (2007-07-17)
Enantiomerically pure alpha-substituted alpha-amino phenylacetonitriles have been readily prepared from 2-p-tolylsulfinylbenzaldimines following a two-step sequence: a moderately stereoselective hydrocyanation of the imines and a completely stereoselective quaternization of the resulting diastereoisomeric mixture of alpha-amino phenylacetonitriles with different alkylating or acylating

Aerobic oxidations of dianionic C(60) were examined in PhCN and PhCH(2)CN, where dioxygen was activated to O(2)(•-) via the single-electron transfer from C(60)(2-) and underwent oxygenation and dehydrogenation reactions, respectively. Addition of PhCH(2)Br led to further benzylation for the oxygenated

The carbanionic species possibly formed during the first alkylation step of phenylacetonitrile lithiated anion by CH(3)I and PhCH(2)Cl in THF-hexane solution and their complexes with the lithium salt formed have been observed by infrared spectrometry and characterized by density functional
