Abstract:
A facile method was reported for a robust octa(carboxyphenyl) functionalized silsesquioxane (OCS), which offers excellent potential as a nanobuilding-block for the preparation of functional materials. OCS was fully characterized by FT-IR, (1)H, (13)C, (29)Si-NMR, Maldi-TOF-MS spectra, and W-XRD analysis.

Preparation and Reactions of Sulfides
Sulfides are the sulfur analog of ethers, just as thiols are the sulfur analog of alcohol. Like ethers, sulfides also consist of two hydrocarbon groups bonded to the central sulfur atom. Depending upon the type of groups present, sulfides can be symmetrical or asymmetrical. Symmetrical sulfides can be prepared via an SN2 reaction between 2 equivalents of an alkyl halide and one equivalent of sodium sulfide.
Oxidation of Alkenes: Syn Dihydroxylation with Osmium Tetraoxide
Alkenes are converted to 1,2-diols or glycols through a process called dihydroxylation. It involves the addition of two hydroxyl groups across the double bond with two different stereochemical approaches, namely anti and syn. Dihydroxylation using osmium tetroxide progresses with syn stereochemistry.
