Bisphenol A (BPA; 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane; CAS Registry No. 80-05-7) is one of endocrine disruptors and is made by combining acetone and phenol. BPA can be metabolized by extensive organisms. In this review these BPA biodegradations or metabolisms by many organisms from microorganisms to mammals were referred. Though the metabolites of BPA can enhance estrogenicity or toxicity, generall...

Reaction between 1,2-bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-ethylenediamine (hpen) and methyl pyruvate gives the diaza-Cope rearrangement product with good yield and excellent stereospecificity. The product containing two chiral quaternary carbon centers is characterized by high performance liquid chromatography and X-ray crystallography. DFT computation provides insight into why the diaza-Cope rearrangement tak...

Novel 5'-deoxythreosyl purine phosphonic acid analogues containing a 2'-electropositive moiety such as fluorine atom, were designed and synthesized from commercially available 1,3-dihydroxy acetone. Condensation successfully proceeded from a glycosyl donor 6 under Vorbrüggen conditions and cross-metathesis gave the desired phosphonate analogues 7a, 7b, 17a and 17b. The synthesized nucleoside ph...

The method of one-pot assembly 1-Acetyl-1,3-bis(2-chloroaniline) is attractive from the point view green chemistry principles: pot-, atom-, step-economical, resource, and energy-saving procedures using available starting materials simple catalytic systems. mechanisms reactions that proceed sequentially in a superbasic KOH/DMSO medium form unique cascade 1,3-diamine 2-chloroaniline acetylene are...

An unprecedented utilization of 1,3-acetonedicarboxylic acid as a 1,3-bis-pro-nucleophile and a reactive acetone surrogate in enantioselective catalysis has been reported. By synergistically activating the ketodiacid by copper catalysis and an α,β-unsaturated aldehyde by amine catalysis, an efficient domino di-decarboxylative Michael/aldol/dehydration sequence takes place leading to valuable ch...

A series of thieno[2,3-b]thiophene moiety-containing bis-cyanopyrazoles 5a-c, bis-aminopyrazole 9 and bis-pyridazine derivatives 11 were synthesized and evaluated in vitro for their antimicrobial potential. The antimicrobial activity of some selected products was evaluated and showed good results. 5,5'-(3,4-Dimethylthieno[2,3-b]thiophene-2,5-diyl)bis(3-acetyl-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-pyrazole-4-ca...
