The composition of oxidant-reactive dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) is poorly characterized, although its ozonation is likely to form a great variety of disinfection by-products containing a nitrogen-oxygen bond (NDBPs). In this study, two chemical oxidat ...
Nitrogen-containing moieties are widespread in natural waters in dissolved organic nitrogen and micropollu-tants. They are often susceptible to an electrophilic attack of ozone because of the electron-rich nature of the neutral form of nitrogen in organic ...
Amides are ubiquitous molecules in nature and in synthetic chemistry. Here we report a convenient and efficient method to synthesize N-aryl amides via amidation of esters with nitroarenes. In the presence of manganese metal, this amidation proceeded smooth ...
Aminocarbonylation of aryl halides is one of the most useful methods in amide synthesis, but nitroarenes have not been used as a nitrogen source in this method even though they are more economical and accessible than anilines. Reported here is the developm ...
Amides are an important class of organic compounds, which have widespread industrial applications. Transamidation of amides is a convenient method to generate new amides from existing ones. Tertiary amides, however, are challenging substrates for transamid ...
Esters are one of the most common functional groups in natural and synthetic products, and the one-step conversion of the ester group into other functional groups is an attractive strategy in organic synthesis. Direct amidation of esters is particularly ap ...
The reaction of isocyanomethylenetriphenylphosphorane, generated in situ from the corresponding phosphonium salt, with a diverse set of aldehydes afforded vinyl isocyanides in good to high yields. Excellent E-selectivity was observed for aliphatic aldehyde ...
