[HSi(CH3 2O]8(SiO1.5)8 (20.05 g, 0.0179 mol) and 3-[2- 2-ethoxyethoxy)ethoxy]-propene-1 (25.0 g, 0.143-[2- 2-ethoxyethoxyin a flask equipped with a condenser, an inlet of argon, and a magnetic stirrer and dissolved in dry toluene (170 mL).
Ammonium carbonate (215 gm, 4 mols) was placed in a 1 litre three-necked round bottom flask, which was fitted with a thermometer, a dropping funnel, and a bent tube attached for distillation to a short condenser.
General Procedure III for the C H Activation Reaction with Aryl Bromides: [RuCl2 p-cymene)]2 (2.5 mol-%) and KOPiv (30 mol-%) were placed in an oven-dried 6 mL vial with a septum screw cap and a magnetic stirring bar.
General Procedure I for the Preparation of Benzylic Amines: The 2-choloro-3-substituted pyridine (1 equiv ., amine (1.2 equiv ., K2CO3 (3.5 equiv ., Pd OAc 2 (2 mol-%), and BINAP (2 mol-%) were placed in an oven-dried 6 mL vial with septum screw cap and a magnetic stirring bar.
General Procedure IV for the C H Activation Reaction with Aryl Chlorides: [RuCl2 p-cymene)]2 (0.025 mmol, 5 mol-%) and PPh3 (0.05 mmol, 10 mol-%) were placed in an oven-dried 6 mL vial with a septum screw cap and a magnetic stirring bar.
3-Methyl-2-(phenylethynyl)pyridine: 3-Methyl-2- phenylethynyl pyridineg, 1 mmol, 1 equiv)., phenylacetylene (122 mg, 1.2 mmol, 1.2 equiv)., pyrrolidine (142 mg, 2 mmol, 2 equiv)., PdCl2 (4 mg, 0.02 mmol, 2 mol-%), PPh3-Methyl-2- phenylethynyl pyridine 3-Methyl-2- phenylethynyl pyridinein an oven-dried 6 mL vial with a Teflon cap and a magnetic stirring bar.
Finally 0.5 g of liquid decanoic acid per gram of starch (0.46 mol per mol anhydroglucose units) was placed in the vessel.
To calculate the V mol values, each molecule was placed in a 3-D box as illustrated in Figure 2. The length, width, and height of this box correspond to the maximum distances along the three axes defining the coordinate system of the van der Waals volume of the molecule.
A 46:54 mixture of 1,1,1,3,3-pentachloro-1,3-disilapropane and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexachloro-1,3-disilapropane (141.8 g; 0.26 mol of reactive silane) was placed in an addition funnel and ca. 25 g of the mixture containing 14 was added to the reaction mixture.
The precursors were weighed according to the composition 45% P2O5 16% CaO 24%MgO 11%Na2O 4%Fe2O32O3 (mol%), and the mixture was placed into a Pt-5% Au crucible type BC18 (Birmingham Metal Company, UK) and dried in at 350°C for 30 minutes, before being transferred to another furnace at 1100°C for 90 minutes.
