General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. This product has been enhanced for catalytic efficiency. Find details here.

Zirconocene dichloride serves as a catalyst, enabling efficient synthesis of pyrrole with high yields and simplifies the purification process economically.

Application

Used to promote greener amidations of carboxylic acids and amines in catalytic amounts. This technology avoids the requirement of preactivation of the carboxylic acid or use of coupling reagents.

Direct amide formation from unactivated carboxylic acids and amines
Useful in the synthesis of a wide range of early-transition-metal complexes and organometallic compounds.

A zirconocene-mediated one-pot multicomponent synthesis process leading to the synthesis of pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine (5-azaindoles) and pyrrole derivatives has been developed starting from a silicon-tethered diyne and three or two different or identical organonitriles. Pyrrolo[3,2-c]pyridine and pyrrole derivatives with diverse structures and

Cationic zirconocene complexes are active species in Ziegler-Natta catalysis for olefin polymerization. Their structure and metal-ligand bond strength strongly influence their activity. In the present work, the infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) spectrum of mass selected Zr(C(5)H(5))(2)(OH)(CH(3)CN)(+) cations was obtained in

Free Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics (CPMD) simulations of four diastereomers of the zirconium-propene complexes [{iPr(3-iPr-CpFlu)}ZriBu(C3H6)]+ (Cp=cyclopentadienyl; Flu=fluorenyl) provide valuable insight into the mechanism and stereocontrol of propene polymerization with stereorigid metallocenes. Spontaneous insertion of propene into the zirconium-isobutyl bond is not

[reaction: see text] A synthetic route to select cyclooctane-1,2,3-triols and 1,2,3,4,5-pentaols has been defined. The starting materials are d-glucose or d-arabinose, and the key steps consist of a zirconocene-promoted ring contraction, a [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement, and more extended functionalization of
