The reaction of tetramethylsilane with boron tribromide in deuterochloroform in ambient temperature or at 40°C led to bromotrimethylsilane (3) and to dibromomethylborane (4). Identity of products was confirmed by NMR ...

HMF is a good starting material for the synthesis of precursors of various pharmaceuticals, thermo-resistant polymers and complex macrocycles. Among these precursors, one can find 2,5- furandicarbaldehyde and ...

Reaction of 3,3’,4,4’-tetramethyl-1,1’-diphosphaferrocene 1 with an excess of benzoyl chloride and AlCl3 afforded a ~1:1 mixture of meso- and rac-2,2’-dibenzoyl-3,3’,4,4’-tetramethyl-1,1’- diphosphaferrocenes 2, which ...
