Two novel pendant-armed dialdehydes (1a and 1b) were prepared by a one-step reaction between 5-chloro-3-(chloromethyl)-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde/5-methyl-3-(chloromethyl)-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and cyclohexylamine involving two nucleophilic substitutions, and they were used to react with 1,3-propanediamine to prepare Schiff-base macrocyclic complexes in the presence of ZnX2 salts (X = Cl, Br, and I)...

A practical synthesis of a tetrahydroaminoquinoline scaffold (12) was developed that used a stereocontrolled aza Michael as the key reaction. Three tetrahydroquinoline alkaloid-like, tricyclic derivatives 16, 18, and 19 with different medium to macrocyclic ring skeletons were obtained, using this scaffold as the starting material, in a modular manner. The macrocyclic compounds with an isolated ...

in this paper, cubic nickel oxide nanoparticles were successfully prepared by solid-state thermal decomposition of nickel(ii) macrocyclic schiff-base complex at 450°c for 3 h without employing toxic solvent or surfactant and complicated equipment. nickel(ii) macrocyclic schiff-base complex was synthesized by the reaction of 1,2-bis(2-formyl-3-methoxyphenyl)propane, nicl2•6h2o and 1,3-phenylened...

A new strategy to access macrocyclic enynes was developed. To block undesired ene-yne cyclization pathways, alkynes were protected via bromination and the resultant acyclic vic-(E)-dibromotrienes participated in selective ene-ene ring closing metathesis reactions. Zinc-promoted deprotection of (E)-dibromodienes provided macrocyclic enynes in high yields.

Poly[1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane(2+) [hepta-mu-sulfido-trisulfidohexaantimony(III)]], {(C10H26N4)[Sb6S10]}n, consists of novel [Sb6S10]2- layers containing Sb2S2, Sb4S4 and Sb7S7 hetero-rings, which are separated by macrocyclic amine molecules. The macrocyclic amine molecules are disordered over two crystallographically distinct positions and are diprotonated in order to balance the charg...

An unprecedented octahedral {Cd(30)} nanocage supported by twelve pendant-armed tetraacetate macrocyclic ligands was synthesized through the reaction of macrocyclic tetraethyl ester and Cd(OAc)(2)·2H(2)O in a 1 : 2 stoichiometry, where the surface photovoltage and photoluminescent properties have been studied for the nanocage.

The enzymatic recycling of polymacrolactones using the N435 biocatalyst provides macrocyclic oligoesters that could be repolymerized.
