Bromination of Cyclic 1, 3-Diketone Monoenolates with N-Bromosuccinimide. III.

Substrate Directed Regioselective Monobromination of Aralkyl Ketones Using N-Bromosuccinimide Catalysed by Active Aluminium Oxide: α-Bromination versus Ring Bromination

Bromination of aralkyl ketones using N-bromosuccinimide in presence of active Al2O3 provided either α -monobrominated products in methanol at reflux or mononuclear brominated products in acetonitrile at reflux temperature with excellent isolated yields depending on the nature of substrate employed. The α -bromination was an exclusive process when aralkyl ketones containing moderate activating/d...

On the nature of solutions of the difference equation $mathbf{x_{n+1}=x_{n}x_{n-3}-1}$

We investigate the long-term behavior of solutions of the difference equation[ x_{n+1}=x_{n}x_{n-3}-1 ,, n=0 ,, 1 ,, ldots ,, ]noindent where the initial conditions $x_{-3} ,, x_{-2} ,, x_{-1} ,, x_{0}$ are real numbers.  In particular, we look at the periodicity and asymptotic periodicity of solutions, as well as the existence of unbounded solutions.

Hydroxylation of zl5-Steroids with N-Bromosuccinimide to 5a,6/3-Diols

N-Bromosuccinimide, Zl5-Steroids, Diosgenin, Cholesterol, Stigmastane, Dehydroisoandrosterone The reaction of N-bromosuccinimide with Zl5-steroids such as, diosgenin, cholesterol, stigmasterol and dehydroisoandrosterone were studied. It was found that NBS in a solvent mixture of acetone, water and acetic acid (8:1:0.1) oxidises the olefinic bond of all the previous steroidal compounds to the co...

Chemical modification of ribonucleic acid polymerase with N-bromosuccinimide.

The mechanism of specific interaction between a protein and a nucleic acid is thought to reside partially in the arrangement and types of amino acid present in the protein. Attempts have been made to assign specific roles in this interaction to certain amino acids, for example, tryptophan and tyrosine are thought to be involved in unwinding the double helix of DNA (Brun et al., 1975), and in se...
