An excellent linear relationship is observed between log (k/kH) for sixteen meta substituted t-cumyl chlorides and the Hammett meta substituent constants. The reaction constant, -4.54, is used to calculate a total of forty-one electrophi...
The gallium bromide-catalyzed reactions of ethyl bromide with the halobenzenes have been examined in ethylene dichloride solution at 25掳. Using a competitive method, the rate of ethylation of fluorobenzene relative to benzene has been d...
Four levels of shading (full sunlight (0%), 30, 50, 70% of solar radiation interception on growth, chlorophyll concentration and photosynthetic rate were s...
The position that the importance of neighboring group participation should diminish as an incipient cationic center is stabilized by substitution1 appears to be generally accepted.2 Consequently, we undertook to synthesize representative...
Attempts to isolate 3,3- spiro-cyclicindolenines thought to be intermediates in the cyclization of benzylidenetryptamines to tetrahydro-β-carbolines are described. One such spiro-pyrrolidinoindolenine, prepared by an alternative route f...

In the presence of diethyl ether, lithium hydride reacts readily with diborane to form lithium borohydride: LiH + 1/2-B2H6 → LiBH4. The latter is also formed by reaction of diborane with either lithium ethoxide or lithium tetramethoxybo...
