Abstract:
Novel Au(III)(dien)(N-heterocycle) compounds, including the first Au(III)N3(N-purine) examples, are reported. The acidity of the dien ligand is affected by the nature of the fourth ligand as a leaving group. The metal center of [Au(dien)(N-heterocycle)](3+) compounds was shown to be more stable to reduction than when Cl(-) is present, with consequences for reactivity with biomolecules: specifically, significant enhancement of π-π-stacking interactions with tryptophan relative to isostructural and isoelectronic platinum(II) and palladium(II) compounds.

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by...
