Commun. 2007, 37, 889 THERMOLYSIS AND [3+2]‐CYCLOADDITION REACTIONS OF 2,3‐DIFERROCENYL‐ AND 2,3,‐DIRUTHENOCENYLCYCLOPROPENONES Elena I. Klimova, Tatiana Klimova Berestneva, Ruben A. Toscano, Jose M. Méndez Stivalet, and Marcos Martínez Garcia Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Coyoacán, México 2,3‐Diferrocenyl‐ and 2,3‐diruthenocenylcyclopropenone undergo thermolysis at ∼180°C with opening of the small ring via ketenocarbenes. Intramolecular transformation of the latter occurs with elimination of CO to yield dimetallocenylacetylenes. Alternatively, they enter into 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reactions with C≡C or C˭C multiple bonds to give cyclopentadienone or cyclopentenone derivatives, respectively. Synth. Commun. 2007, 37, 901 IMPROVED SYNTHESES OF N‐DESMETHYLCITALOPRAM AND N,N‐DIDESMETHYLCITALOPRAM Chunyang Jin, Karl G. Boldt, Kenneth S. Rehder, and George A. Brine Organic and Medicinal Chemistry, Science and Engineering Group, Research Triangle Institute, PO Box 12194, Research Triangle Park, USA An improved and efficient synthesis of N‐desmethylcitalopram (2) and N,N‐didesmethylcitalopram (3) is described. The method involved N‐demethylation of citalopram (1) using 1‐chloroethyl chloroformate to give 2 in 87% yield. N,N‐Didesmethylcitalopram (3) was prepared in 57% yield from 5‐bromophthalide. Synth. Commun. 2007, 37, 909 PREPARATION OF A ZINC MONOCYSTEINE COMPOUND David J. Tate Jr.1 and David A. Newsome2 1Tate Analytical Services, Bridge City, Louisiana, USA 2St. Luke's Cataract and Laser Institute, Tarpon Springs, Florida, USA Both zinc and the amino acid cysteine play important roles in biological function, including antioxidant protection and tissue repair. We attempted to prepare a (1:1) zinc-cysteine complex using l‐cysteine and zinc metal. Zinc metal was added to a solution of l‐cysteine and refluxed with constant stirring. Product was selected by filtration, and after evaporation precipitation was subjected to elemental analysis, 1H‐NMR and mass spectroscopy. The novel compound has one molecule of zinc conjugated to one molecule of cysteine. Synth.

Lande Department of Chemical Engineering, University Institute of Chemical Technology (UICT), University of Mumbai, Matunga, Mumbai, India The Claisen rearrangement of allyl phenyl ethers is a fundamental reaction in organic synthesis with a variety of applications in perfumes, flavors, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, polymers, fine chemicals, and intermediate industries. The development of environmentally benign processes using solid acid catalysts is becoming an area of growing interest. It was accomplished in an efficient, economical, environmentally friendly manner and was 100% selective toward alllyl phenols by employing UDCaT-5 as solid acid catalyst. Synth.
