Rechargeable solid-state sodium-ion batteries (SSSBs) hold great promise for safer and more energy-dense energy storage. However, the poor electrochemical stability between current sulfide-based solid electrolytes and high-voltage oxide cathodes has limited their long-term cycling performance and practicality. Here, we report

ZrCl(4) was found to be an ideal catalyst to promote aza-Henry reactions between trifluoromethyl aldimines and some nitro alkanes giving new fluorinated β-nitro amines. The reaction is strongly influenced by the CF(3) group, the yield by the alkyl chain of

[reaction: see text] The reagent system Cp2ZrCl2/2EtMgBr/2AlCl3 converts 1-alkynylphosphonates into cyclopropylmethylphosphonates 3 in good isolated yields. Ethers, chlorides, and other cyclopropyl groups are compatible with the reaction conditions. Deuterium labeling is consistent with the formation of stable cyclopropylmethylbimetallic phosphonates by
