acylisothiocyanate (1) was allowed to react with benzylidene malononitrile producing oxazine derivative (2). also, compound (1) was reacted with sodium azide followed by refluxing with sodium ethoxide affording thiazinotetrazole derivative (4). the reaction of acetylacetone with compound (1) gave pyridine derivative (5) by intramolecular cycloaddition while it was reacted with n-methyl aniline ...

Recent studies have considerably clarified the mechanism ofhydrolysis of ribonucleic acids (RNA) by pancreatic ribonuclease and by spleen phosphodiesterase. Digestion ofRNA with ribonuclease results in the splitting of all pyrimidine-pyrimidine internucleotidic links and of those pyrimidine-purine internucleotidic links which involve C(3w) of the pyrimidine nucleotide (Schmidt et al. 1951; Mark...

The present article describes the design and synthesis of new biprivileged molecular scaffolds with diverse structural features. Commercially available, simple heterocyclic building blocks such as 4-fluoro-3-nitrobenzoic acid, 2-chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid, and indoline were utilized for the synthesis of the novel heterocycles. Pictet-Spengler-type condensation was used as a key step to construc...

Dicarbonyl sugars were separated by capillary electrophoresis as o-phenylenediamine derivatives (quinoxalines). Tetrabutylammonium bromide was used as a modifier; n-arabino-2-hexosulose (n-glucosone), D-lyxo-2-hexostdose (D-gdaCtOSOnC), 7-deoxy-L-galacto-2-hexosulose and 5-hydroxy-2,3dioxohexanal served as standards. The separation procedure was optimized with respect to pH, buffer and solute c...

Asymmetric hydrogenation plays an important role in organic synthesis, but that of the challenging substrates such as N-unprotected imines, enamines, and N-heteroaromatic compounds (1H-indoles, 1H-pyrroles, pyridines, quinolines, and quinoxalines) has only received increased attention in the past three years. Considering the interaction modes of a Brønsted acid with a Lewis base, Brønsted acids...

A new and easily regenerable NAD(P)H model 9,10-dihydrophenanthridine (DHPD) has been designed for biomimetic asymmetric hydrogenation of imines and aromatic compounds. This reaction features the use of hydrogen gas as terminal reductant for the regeneration of the DHPD under the mild condition. Therefore, the substrate scope is not limited in benzoxazinones; the biomimetic asymmetric hydrogena...
