Frustrated Lewis pairs consisting of diphenylphosphino and boryl groups located at the ortho‐position can trap difluorocarbene affording stable zwitterionic adducts. The reaction can be reversed to ...release difluorocarbene at elevated temperatures.
Difluorocarbene is reversibly trapped by intramolecular frustrated Lewis pairs. The reaction proceeds stepwise via interaction of the carbene with the phosphorus atom followed by formation of the carbon‐boron bond.

A 4-tetrafluoropyridinylthio group was suggested as a new photoredox-active moiety. The group can be directly installed on difluorostyrenes in a single step by the thiolene click reaction. It ...proceeds upon visible light catalysis with 9-phenylacridine providing various difluorinated sulfides as radical precursors. Single electron reduction of the C-S bond with the formation of fluoroalkyl radicals is enabled by the electron-poor azine ring. The intermediate difluorinated sulfides were involved in a series of photoredox reactions with silyl enol ethers, alkenes, nitrones and an alkenyl trifluoroborate.
A new photoredox-active group was applied for the generation of fluorinated radicals from difluorostyrenes under blue light irradiation.

The review is devoted to analysis and generalization of the results of (i) quantum chemical studies on the structure, chemical bonding and intermolecular interactions in coordination compounds of ...tetravalent silicon, germanium and tin in crystals, in solutions and in the gas phase and (ii) experimental investigations of the electron density distribution in these systems. The bibliography includes 147 references.
Imatinib, one of the most used therapeutic agents to treat leukemia, is an inhibitor that specifically blocks the activity of tyrosine kinases. The molecule of imatinib is flexible and contains ...several functional groups able to take part in H-bonding and hydrophobic interactions. Analysis of molecular conformations for this drug was carried out using density functional theory calculations of rotation potentials along single bonds and by analyzing crystal structures of imatinib-containing compounds taken from the Cambridge Structural Database and the Protein Data Bank. Rotation along the N-C bond in the region of the amide group was found to be the reason for two relatively stable molecular conformations, an extended and a folded one. The role of various types of intermolecular interactions in stabilization of the particular molecular conformation was studied in terms of (i) the likelihood of H-bond formation, and (ii) their contribution to the Voronoi molecular surface. It is shown that experimentally observed hydrogen bonds are in accord with the likelihood of their formation. The number of H-bonds in ligand-receptor complexes surpasses that in imatinib salts due to the large number of donors and acceptors of H-bonding within the binding pocket of tyrosine kinases. Contribution of hydrophilic intermolecular interactions to the Voronoi molecular surface is similar for both conformations, while π...π stacking is more typical for the folded conformation of imatinib.

Compounds bearing ortho-oriented dialkylamino and boryl groups can serve as efficient reagents to trap difluorocarbene leading to zwitterionic ammonium borates featuring N-CF2-B fragments. The ...reagents are shelf-stable and can be used as mechanistic probes for reactions proceeding via difluorocarbene.
Nucleophilic cyclopropanation of arylideneimidazolones possessing a peripheral chiral center and the subsequent fractional crystallization of diastereomers allows access to the compounds with an ...enantiomerically uniform configuration of the spirocyclic donoracceptor cyclopropane fragment. They were used to study the mechanism of the cycloaddition reaction with aldehydes; it was demonstrated that stereochemical information from the cyclopropane fragment is lost during the reaction.

It is found that the reaction of dimethyl 2-phenylcyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylate with 2 equivalents each of aromatic aldehydes and TaCl5 in 1,2-dichloroethane at 23 °C for 24 h after hydrolysis gives ...substituted 4-phenyl-3,4-dihydronaphtalene-2,2(1H)-dicarboxylates in good yield. This represents a new type of reactions between 2-arylcyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylates and aromatic aldehydes, yielding chlorinated tetrahydronaphthalenes with a cis arrangement of the aryl and chlorine substituents in the cyclohexene moiety. A plausible reaction mechanism is proposed.

A reaction of bromo- and iododifluoromethyl-substituted silanes with electron-deficient alkenes in the presence of an N-heterocyclic carbene borane complex is described. The reaction is performed ...under irradiation with light-emitting diodes and proceeds via a radical chain mechanism. The resulting products, the functionalized silicon reagents, can undergo chemoselective transformations involving either the silyldifluoromethyl fragment or the functional group.

A highly efficient preparative method for the synthesis of siloxanols based on aerobic Co(OAc) 2 or Cu(OAc) 2 /NHPI-catalyzed oxidation of hydride siloxanes using “green”, commercially available, ...simple inexpensive reagents and mild reaction conditions has been proposed. This is a general reaction for the synthesis of mono-, oligo- and polymeric siloxanols with various structures (linear, branched and cyclic).
Various solid forms of pharmaceutically important compounds exhibit different physical properties and bioactivity; thus, knowledge of the structural landscape and prediction of spontaneous polymorph ...transformations for an active pharmaceutical ingredient is of practical value for the pharmaceutical industry. By recrystallization from ethyl acetate, a novel polymorph of 6-fluoro-3-hydroxypyrazine-2-carboxamide (trademark favipiravir, RNA polymerase inhibitor) was obtained and characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), infra-red spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The favipiravir molecule in two polymorphs realizes similar H-bonding motifs, but the overall H-bonded networks differ. Based on periodic density functional theory calculations, the novel tetragonal polymorph with two interpenetrated H-bonded networks is slightly less stable than the orthorhombic one with the
topology of the underlying H-bonded net that is in accord with experimentally observed powder XRD patterns of slow conversion of the tetragonal phase to the orthorhombic one. However, topological analysis of net relations revealed that no transformations can be applied to convert H-bonded networks in the experimental unit cells, and DSC data indicate no solid-state reactions at heating.
