The first examples of dihydro-1H-benzindoles by enantioselective γ-lactamization reaction of naphthyl sulfilimines with trichloroacetyl chloride in the presence of ZnCu as catalyst (≥98:2 er and 65-80% yields) are described. Products are obtained by [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of the azasulfonium enolate or

The pyrrolidine and morpholine enamines of cyclic ketones such as cyclohexanone and cyclopentanone were successfully diacetylated at alpha- and alpha'-positions with trichloroacetyl chloride using zinc catalyst. Morpholine enamines of the cyclic ketones gave acetylated morpholine in good yields besides the

The embryotoxicity of trichloroethylene (TRI), tetrachloroethylene (PER), and of four of their oxidative metabolites i.e. trichloroacetic acid, dichloroacetic acid, chloral hydrate, and trichloroacetyl chloride, was studied in vitro, using the rat whole embryo culture system. Embryos from Sprague-Dawley rats were

Dichloroacetylene (DCA) is a highly reactive compound that decomposes rapidly in contact with air into a series of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (e.g., phosgene, trichloroacetyl chloride, trichloroacryloyl chloride and hexachlorobutadiene). Experiments were performed to compare the mutagenic properties of DCA and
