The reaction of 2-cyanothiophene with a zerovalent platinum bisalkylphosphine fragment yields two thiaplatinacycles derived from the cleavage of the substituted and unsubstituted C-S bonds. While cleavage away from the cyano group is preferred kinetically, cleavage adjacent to the cyano group

In this study, the synthesis of micron-sized poly(vinylbenzyl chloride) (p(VBC)) beads and subsequent conversion of the reactive chloromethyl groups to double amidoxime group containing moieties by post modification is reported. The prepared beads were characterized by SEM and FT-IR spectroscopy.

[reaction: see text] Two new series of 2,2'-bipyrroles and 2,2'-thienylpyrroles have been prepared by trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf)-mediated reaction of donor-acceptor cyclopropanes with 2-cyanopyrroles and 2-cyanothiophene, respectively. This method opens the door toward a wide variety of unsymmetrical bipyrroles and thienylpyrroles.
