We report on a theoretical study of the gas-phase decomposition of boron trichloride in the presence of hydrogen radicals using ab initio energetic calculations coupled to TST, RRKM, and VTST-VRC kinetic calculations. In particular, we present an addition-elimination mechanism (BCl(3)

A general method to prepare a new class of carbohydrate-derived, enantiomerically pure polyhydroxypyrroline N-oxides from their alkoxy (protected) derivatives is presented. Boron trichloride is shown to cleave efficiently benzyl ethers and ketals without affecting the imine N-oxide functionality of nitrones.

Sky-blue Tp*WOCl(2) has been synthesized from the high-yielding reaction of Tp*WO(2)Cl with boron trichloride in refluxing toluene. Dark-red Tp*WOI(2) was prepared via thermal decarbonylation followed by aerial oxidation of Tp*WI(CO)(3) in acetonitrile. From these precursors, an extensive series of mononuclear

A novel and efficient microwave-assisted, BCl(3) mediated coupling reaction to synthesize o-(hydroxyaryl)(aryl)methanone structures from phenols and acyl chlorides is described. This reaction was further incorporated into a two-step synthesis of biologically interesting xanthones.

The first ene reactions of SO(2) and unfunctionalized alkenes are reported. Calculations suggest that the endergonic ene reactions of SO(2) with alkenes can be used to generate beta,gamma-unsaturated sulfinyl and sulfonyl compounds. Indeed, in the presence of one equivalent of
