 R. Ishikawa, H. Miyasaka,* and M. Yamashita
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]   [Supporting Information]

The use of a low-spin FeIII complex bearing three imidazolate groups in the assembly with MnIII salen-type complexes provided two different imidazolate-bridged MnIII–FeIII assemblies, a dinuclear complex and a one-dimensional chain, dependent on the salen ligand and counter ion used. Both compounds exhibit a ferromagnetic exchange between MnIII and FeIII centers via the imidazolate linkage.

 V. Gembus, N. Sala-Jung, and D. Uguen*
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

In contrast to reports in the literature, reacting TMHQ with citral dimethyl acetal in pyridine afforded a chromenol, which was converted to the title acetate in few steps.

Dithietan-3-ones were synthesized by the reaction of α-dithiolactones with nitrile oxide. The reaction of 4,4-di-tert-butyl-1,2-dithietan-3-one with triphenylphosphine or phenylmagnesium bromide afforded 1,1-di-tert-butylthiiran-2-one or S-phenyl 2-tert-butyl-2-mercapto-3,3-dimethylbutanethioate in good yields.

 870-878  Substituent Effect of Imino-O-arenesulfonates, a Coupling Partner in Suzuki–Miyaura Reaction for Substitution of the Pyrazine Ring: A Study for the Synthesis of Coelenterazine Analogs
 A. Makarasen, M. Kuse, T. Nishikawa, and M. Isobe*

The substituent effect of imino-O-arenesulfonates demonstrated a major difference in the reactivity of the cross-coupling reactions when changing from electron-donating to electron-withdrawing groups at the para position of arenesulfonates. Aryltrifluoroborates worked well in this reaction to obtain the coupling products in excellent yields.
