A new class o f non-adenylate anticytokinins, alkyl and phenyl N -phenylcarbam ates and re­ lated phenyl N-pyridylcarbam ates, has been developed. They have a structure that has an im ­ m ediate resem blance to the non-adenylate class o f cytokinins, N ,N '-diphenylureas, and N -pyridyl-N '-phenylureas, and the design o f the m olecule was m ade based on insight into the bioisoteric nature betw...

In the title compound, C(15)H(10)Cl(3)NO(2), an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond forms a six-membered ring and enforces an almost coplanar conformation for the acetamido group, the central benzene ring and the bridging carbonyl C-C(=O)-C group: the dihedral angles between the benzene ring and the acetamide and carbonyl C-C(=O)-C planes are 7.06 (11) and 7.17 (12)°, respectively. The dihedral...

Septins, which are involved in cytokinesis, have been identified in a variety of fungi and animal cells. For analysis of the function of septin, drugs targeting septin would be useful; however, no such drugs have been available hitherto. By serendipity, we found that forchlorfenuron (FCF, N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N-phenylurea, 4PU300), a synthetic plant cytokinin, disturbed cytokinesis in Sacchar...

In the title compound, C(14)H(10)Cl(2)INO(3)S, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 52.13 (10)°. In the crystal, the components are linked by pairs of N-H⋯O(sulfon-yl) hydrogen bonds into centrosymmetric dimers.
