A rhodium/xantphos homogeneous catalyst system has been developed for direct chemo- and regioselective mono-N-alkylation of primary amides with 1-alkenes and syngas through catalytic hydroamidomethylation with 1-pentene and acetamide as model substrates. For appropriate catalyst performance, it appears to be essential

Amylenes are unsaturated hydrocarbons (C5H10), such as 1-pentene, 2-pentene, 2-methyl-but-1-en (3-methyl-1-butene), 2-methyl-but-2-en (isopentene), and 3-methyl-but-1-en. We investigated bacterial mutagenicity of 1-pentene, 2-pentene, and 3-methyl-but-1-en in the Ames test. 2-Pentene was investigated as racemate and as pure diastereomers. We included the

A zeolite-based microengineered reactor was fabricated and tested for 1-pentene epoxidation over titanium silicalite-1 (TS-1) catalyst, which has been selectively incorporated within the microreactor channel using a new synthesis procedure.

[formula: see text] The 13C and 2H kinetic isotope effects for the bromination of 1-pentene with Br2 in CCl4 were determined and interpreted with the aid of calculationally predicted isotope effects. The isotope effects observed are consistent with rate-limiting bromonium

[reaction: see text] The octenediol linker used during automated oligosaccharide assembly is cleaved by olefin cross-metathesis. Until now, this linker could not be applied to sugars containing azides. A detailed study of the cleavage reaction served as basis for the
