An efficient catalytic four-component reaction of carbonyl compounds (or acetals/ketals), benzyl chloroformate (CbzCl), 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS), and allyltrimethylsilane has been successfully developed to produce Cbz-protected homoallylic amines in the presence of 5 mol % of iron(II) sulfate heptahydrate (FeSO4 x 7H2O), an inexpensive and environmentally friendly catalyst, at room temperature.

In this paper, we propose a non-invasive imaging method of microwave near field using a diamond containing nitrogen-vacancy centers. We applied synchronous pulsed sequence combined with charge coupled device camera to measure the amplitude of the microwave magnetic field. A full reconstruction formulation of the local field vector, including the amplitude and phase, is developed by measuring both left and right circular polarizations along the four nitrogen-vacancy axes. Compared to the raster scanning approach, the two dimensional imaging method is promising for application to circuit failure analysis. A diamond film with micrometer thinness enables high-resolution near field imaging. The proposed method is expected to have applications in monolithic-microwave-integrated circuit chip local diagnosis, antenna characterization, and field mode imaging of microwave cavities and waveguides.
