Direct evidence for arylmethyl ether coordination of sodium and potassium cations: An electrospray ionization mass spectrometry study

Evidence is presented for complexation between sodium and potassium cation (1 mM) and the simple ethers dibenzyl ether, bis(p-methoxybenzyl) ether, bis(p-nitrobenzyl) ether, or bis(ferrocenylmethyl) ether (concentration 0.01-10 mM). Complexation was asses

N-Alkylation of amines with alcohols over nanosized zeolite beta

Direct N-alkylation of amines with alcohols was successfully performed by using nanosized zeolite beta, which showed the highest catalytic activity among other conventional zeolites. This method has several advantages, such as eco-friendliness, moderate to high yields, and simple work-up procedure. The catalyst was successfully recovered and reused without significant loss of activity and only water is produced as co-product. In addition, imines were also efficiently prepared from the tandem reactions of amines with 2-, 3- and 4-nitrobenzyl alcohols using nanosized zeolite beta.

Photolytic decomposition of dibenzylic sulfites

The photolytic decay of a library of para-substituted dibenzylic sulfites has been evaluated by UV radiation in a Srinivasan-Griffin-Rayonet photochemical reactor in various deuterated solvents. The decay for each dibenzylic sulfite was examined with respect to Swain and Lupton's field constant, F. The rate of photolytic decay varies depending on the identity of the benzyl substituents. Furthermore, it has been observed that the solvent affects both the rate of sulfite photolytic decay as well as final product distribution.
