These ionic liquids present good conductivities and electrochemical windows which make them likely solvents of choice for Li-ion batteries using LiMn 2 O 4 as the cathode. Charge/discharge properties of a Li/ R-mim)BF 4 /LiMn 2 O 4 cell have been evaluated both with the IL as the sole electrolyte and with IL and conducting support. The Li-ion insertion results in IL can be explained on the basis of self aggregation of each long chain 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium cation.

Cycloaddition reactions of preformed 1 have been carried out with various dienophiles. These reactions may also be accomplished by heating the acetals in the presence of dienophiles and acid catalyst, where 1 is generated as an intermediate. The cycloaddition reaction of 1 and maleic anhydride is found to be reversible at higher temperature (slow at 60 "C). Unsymmetrical dienophiles react with 1 to give equal amounts of regioisomers, and evidence points to lack of regioselectivity under both kinetically controlled and equilibrating conditions. The acetals 9 and 11 are shown to interconvert with acid catalyst at 140 O C , where 1 is an intermediate of greater stability than the acetals; the equilibrium K for 9 + 11 is approximately unity. Various acid-catalyzed cycloaddition reactions of ortho esters 8 and 10, yielding polysubstituted phenanthrene derivatives, are described. Wege has recently reported1 the synthesis of benzo[e]isobenzofuran (1, naphtho[ 1,BcIfuran) by pyrolysis2 of the corresponding (dihydro)naphthyne-furan derivative and found that it is qualitatively more stable than the parent isobenzofuran 2. Our work in this area began with a novel 1 2 3

Tetra-n-butylammonium cyanide was purchased from Fluka and dried [60 "C (0.2 torr)] for 24 h prior to use. Solutions of this reagent were prepared in dry CH3CN. To a cold (-78 "C), stirred solution of menthol-MOM ether 8 (1 mmol) in 8.8 mL of dry CH2C12, under argon, was added a CH2C12 solution of dimethylboron bromide (1.73 M, 1.16 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at -78 "C for 1 h and then treated with diisopropylethylamine (2.5 mmol) and a solution of methanethiol in CH2C12 (10 M, 0.3 mL). After 1 h at -78 "C the mixture was cannulated into a stirred mixture of THF (5 mL) and saturated aqueous NaHC03 (5 mL). Ether (50 mL) was then added. The organic layer was separated, washed with saturated aqueous NaHC03, water, and brine, and dried over MgS04. Removal of solvent and purification by flash chromatography gave pure

The objective of this proof-of-principal study was to evaluate the idea that phytoremediation techniques might be used to lower the concentrations of indoor air pollutants, such as volatile or semi-volatile organic compounds. Plants were exposed to the pollutants

An initiation mechanism involving triethylborane-monomer and triethylborane-cocatalyst complexes is proposed.
