https://www.selleckchem.com/products/deferoxamine-mesylate.html Vinyl fluorides play an important role in drug development as bioisosteres for peptide bonds and are found in a range of bioactive molecules. The discovery of safe, general and practical procedures to prepare vinyl fluorides from readily available precursors remains a synthetic challenge. The metal-free hydrofluorination of alkynes constitutes an attractive though elusive strategy for their preparation. Here we introduce an inexpensive and easily-handled reagent that enabled the development of simple and scalable protocols for the regioselective hydrofluorination of alkynes to access both the E and Z isomers of vinyl fluorides. These conditions were suitable for a diverse collection of alkynes, including several highly-functionalized pharmaceutical derivatives. Computational and experimental mechanistic studies support C-F bond formation through vinyl cation intermediates, with the ( E )- and ( Z )-hydrofluorination products forming under kinetic and thermodynamic control, respectively.Background and aim of the study Cardiac wounds have been described for centuries and still remain to be fatal. For a long period of time, the suturing of a myocardial laceration was thought to be absolutely impossible if not sacrilege. Methods It is only at the end of the 19th century that pioneers decided to defy such a dogma in desperate cases. Results Nowadays, it seems obvious that a cardiac stab wound requires emergent surgery whenever possible. Conclusions The story of cardiac wounds highlights nicely the change of mind that is required to accept progress and new procedures in medicine.We report the two-step hysteretic Fe(II) spin crossover (SCO) effect achieved in programmed layered Cs[Fe(3-CNpy)2] [Re(CN)8]·H2O (1) assembly consisting of cyanido-bridged FeII-ReV square grid sheets bonded by Cs+ ions.
