A naked-eye and fluorescent detector for Zn2+ was synthesized by the combination of salicylhydrazide and diarylethene with good photochromic properties.
Reductive cyanation of tertiary alkyl
bromides using electrophilic
cyanating reagent and zinc reductant was developed, providing various
α-cyano ketones, esters, and carboxamides containing a nitrile-bearing
all-carbon quaternary center in good to excellent yields under mild
reaction conditions. The corresponding reaction mechanism involving
in situ generated organozinc reagent and reactivity distinction was
elucidated by density functional theory computation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
