[EN] The electrophilicity index, omega, of a series of substituted ethylenes used in some relevant organic reactions has been evaluated from the ionization potential JP) and the electron affinity (EA) computed by vertical ...

[EN] Synthetic cathinones are a class of new psychoactive substances whose consumption has increased a lot and is widespread throughout the world. Thus, there is currently a need for rapid and simple detection of these ...

[EN] The [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction between carbonyl ylides generated from epoxides and alkynes (phenylacetylene, methyl propiolate, methyl but-2-ynoate and methyl 3-phenylpropiolate) to give substituted 2,5-dihydrofurans ...

[EN] Chemical submission is becoming a global growing threat. Therefore, the development of fast and reliable methods for detecting the presence of chemical submission drugs in drinks is of great interest. For this purpose, ...

Oxidative electron transfer cycloreversion of trans,trans-2-cyclopropyl-4-methyl-3-phenyloxetane, using triphenylthiapyrylium perchlorate as a photosensitizer, leads to distonic 1,4-radical cations; subsequent cleavage ...

The radical anions of azetidin-2-ones, generated by UV-irradiation in the presence of triethylamine, undergo ring-splitting via N-C4 or C3-C4 bond breaking, leading to open-chain amides. This reactivity diverges from that ...

[EN] A new selective fluorogenic chemosensor for Hg2+, which combines a calixarene derivative with a BODIPY core as a fluorescent reporter, is described. The remarkable change in its fluorogenic properties in DMSO and CHCl3 ...

[EN] The nonpolar [3+2] cycloaddition (32CA) reaction of the carbonyl ylide (CY) 23 with tetramethylethylene (TME) 24 has been studied with DFT methods at the B3LYP/6-31G* level. This cycloaddition reaction, which has a ...
