  • Publication number: 20160362429
    Abstract: Compounds and method of preparation of Si—X and Ge—X compounds (X?N, P, As and Sb) via dehydrogenative coupling between the corresponding unsubstituted silanes and amines (including ammonia) or phosphines catalyzed by metallic catalysts is described. This new approach is based on the catalytic dehydrogenative coupling of a Si—H and a X—H moiety to form a Si—X containing compound and hydrogen gas (X?N, P, As and Sb). The process can be catalyzed by transition metal heterogenous catalysts such as Ru(0) on carbon, Pd(0) on MgO) as well as transition metal organometallic complexes that act as homogeneous catalysts. The —Si—X products produced by dehydrogenative coupling are inherently halogen free. Said compounds can be useful for the deposition of thin films by chemical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition of Si-containing films.

  • Publication number: 20160362438
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a 5-formylcytosine specific chemical labeling method and related applications in aspects such as sequencing, detection, imaging, and diagnosis. In the method, a condensation reaction occurs between an active methylene group in an active methylene compound containing a side-chain reactive group and an aldehyde group in 5-formylcytosine or a 1-substituted derivative of 5-formylcytosine, and at the same time an intramolecular reaction occurs between the side-chain reactive group of the active methylene compound and a 4-amino group of cytosine to implement ring closing.
