General Description

3-(3-Methylphenyl)prop-1-ene, also known as meta-methylstyrene, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C10H10. It is an organic compound consisting of a benzene ring with a methyl group and a propene moiety attached at the meta position. The compound is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor, and it is commonly used as a monomer in the production of polystyrene and other plastics. Meta-methylstyrene is also used as a solvent and as a precursor for various chemical reactions. It is considered to be a flammable liquid and may cause irritation to the skin and eyes upon contact, and it should be handled with proper safety precautions.

Determination of the Minimum-Energy Conformation of Allylbenzene and Its Clusters with Methane, Ethane, Water, and Ammonia

Supersonic molecular jet laser time-of-flight mass spectroscopy (TOFMS) is employed to determine the minimum energy conformation of the allyl group with respect to the benzene ring of allylbenzene, 1-allyl-2-methylbenzene, and 1-allyl-3-methylbenzene.The

Palladium-Catalyzed meta-C-H Olefination of Arene-Tethered Diols Directed by Well-Designed Pyrimidine-Based Group

The palladium-catalyzed meta-olefination of arene-tethered diols attached to a well-designed pyrimidine moiety is presented. Applications of the protocol are illustrated by the synthesis of various diol-based natural products, such as coumarins, phenylpropanoids, stilbenes, and chalcones. Advantages of this method are demonstrated through the easy removal of the template and a gram-scale olefination reaction. Finally, experimental verification, including 1H NMR, ESI-MS and IR, and DFT studies are undertaken to elucidate the mechanistic complexity.

Palladium-catalyzed oxidative allylation of bis[(pinacolato)boryl]methane: Synthesis of homoallylic boronic esters

A palladium-catalyzed oxidative allylation of bis[(pinacolato)boryl]methane to afford the corresponding homoallylic organoboronic esters with moderate to excellent yields is reported. This novel transformation provides an efficient strategy for the construction of homoallylic organoboronic esters in one step with a broad substrate scope. It is proposed that the palladium-catalyzed oxidative allylic C-H bond activation process may be involved in the catalytic cycle.
