tert-Butoxycarbonylaniline, orf/zo-Lithiation, Chlorophosphines The dilithium salt la formed by ortho-metallation of N-terf-butoxycarbonylaniline (BOCaniline) 1 with two equivalents of ter/-butyllithium reacts with the chlorophosphines Ph3_„PCl„ (n = 1 3) to yield the BOC protected ort/zo-aminophenylphosphines 2 4 in high yields. On deprotection of 2 4 with trimethylchlorosilane in the presence...

Bacterial degradation of organic pollutants in soil has been studied extensively but little is known about the availability and degradation of pollutants by bacterial resident on leaf surfaces. Here, we examined availability and degradation of phenol on leaves by introduced cells of a known phenol degrader and by natural microbial communities. Phenol-responsive gfp-expressing Pseudomonas fluore...

Polymers are currently in the limelight. Phenolic resin is one of polymer products obtained from polymerization process, either natural or synthetic sources. One compounds that can be applied to polymers cardanol. This study aimed synthesize cardanol-based acetaldehyde novolac Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL). Isolation cardanol CNSL was done by liquid-liquid extraction method with acetone and pu...

The photochemistry of three 9-(dihydroxyphenyl)anthracenes 6-8 was studied in neat CH(3)CN and selected organic solvents, to investigate excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) from the phenol to the anthracene moiety. In D(2)O-CH(3)CN mixtures, the observed deuterium exchange of 6-8 is consistent with water-mediated (formal) ESIPT process from the ortho phenolic OH to the 10'-posi...

Nitration of phenol and various 4-substituted phenols with Cu(NO3)2.3H2O, Cu(NO3)2.3H2O/SiO2, 9H2O and Cr(NO3)2. 9H2O in different anhydrous organic solvents are investigated. High selectivity ratio of para vs ortho isomers has been observed. Mono- and dinitro compounds f...

Biofouling is one of the most serious problems in membrane filtration systems for water treatment. An easily applicable antimicrobial finish polyethersulfone (PES) filter membranes shown by derivatizing an approved chlorin photosensitizer drug with adhesive ortho-catechol functionalities as known from l-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanin (Dopa) residues marine mussel glues. The chemical structure second...

Phenol is an important pollutant widely discharged as a component of hydrocarbon fuels, but its degradation in cold regions challenging due to the harsh environmental conditions. To date, there little information available concerning capability for phenol biodegradation by indigenous Antarctic bacteria. In this study, enzyme activities and genes encoding degradative enzymes identified using who...

Induction of phase 2 enzymes and elevations of glutathione are major and sufficient strategies for protecting mammals and their cells against the toxic and carcinogenic effects of electrophiles and reactive forms of oxygen. Inducers belong to nine chemical classes and have few common properties except for their ability to modify sulfhydryl groups by oxidation, reduction, or alkylation. Much evi...
