A novel, highly efficient method has been developed for the separation of the optical isomers of 1-[2-carboxy-6-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1H-pyrrole-2-carboxylic acid with methyl (R)-2-phenylglycinate. The structural aspects of chiral discrimination have been discussed via comparison of the molec...

Depending on the conditions used during the lithiation and subsequent carboxylation of 1-[(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]pyrroles the mono- and the dicarboxylated derivatives were selectively prepared. The regioselective formation of the monocarboxylic acids could be rationalized in the light of the da...

Eight different Dichloro(bis{2-[1-(4-R-phenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl-κN3]pyridine-κN})iron(II) compounds, 2–9, have been synthesised and characterised, where group R = CH3 (L2), OCH3 (L3), COOH (L4), F (L5), Cl (L6), CN (L7), H (L8) and CF3 (L9). The single crystal X-ray structure was determi...

In the present, study mostly novel ten 4-(substituted phenyl)-3-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5(4H)-ones and ten 4-(substituted phenyl)-3-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-5(4H)-thiones were synthesized.
