Palladium-catalyzed selective synthesis of 3,4-dihydroquinazolines from electron-rich arylamines, electron-poor arylamines and glyoxalates.

A simple palladium-catalyzed selective synthesis of structurally diverse 3,4-dihydroquinazolines from electron-rich arylamines, electron-poor arylamines and glyoxalates has been developed under mild conditions. This reaction is carried out in a tandem manner constituted by the condensation of arylamines and glyoxalates, the selective Diels-Alder cycloaddition and oxidation processes, in which 4-nitrothiophenol was used as the key ligand.

Properties and Applications of Sodium (5-methyl-2-alkyl-1,3-dioxane-5-yl)-Carboxylate Synthesized with Nanosolid Superacid.

A series of novel sodium (5-methyl-2-alkyl-1,3-dioxane-5-yl) carboxylate surfactants were synthesized using nanosolid superacid SO₄²⁻/Fe₂O₃as a catalyst and characterized by ¹H NMR, IR and elemental analysis. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of surfactants was determined and the results showed that the CMC values were less than 2.0 x 10⁻³ mol/L.

2-(2-Chloro-phen-yl)-5-methyl-1,3-dioxane-5-carboxylic acid.

In the title compound, C(12)H(13)ClO(4), the 1,3-dioxane ring adopts a chair conformation and the 2-chloro-benzene and methyl substituents occupy equatorial sites. The carboxyl group is in an axial inclination. In the crystal, carb-oxy-lic acid inversion dimers linked by pairs of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate R(2) (2)(8) loops.
