Abstract:
Contemporary magnetic nanoparticle composites are individually designed for specific biomedical applications. We describe the syntheses and characterization of a heterobifunctional polyethylene oxide (PEO) using nitroDOPA as a robust anchoring group on one end and an alkyne as the reactive surface for additional application specific modification.

Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Hydroboration-Oxidation
One of the convenient methods for the preparation of aldehydes and ketones is via hydration of alkynes. Hydroboration-oxidation of alkynes is an indirect hydration reaction in which an alkyne is treated with borane followed by oxidation with alkaline peroxide to form an enol that rapidly converts into an aldehyde or a ketone. Terminal alkynes form aldehydes, whereas internal alkynes give ketones as the final product.
