synthesis of 4-(n,n- dimethylamino)-3-aryl-3-butene-2-one, ethyl-5-aryl-4-oxo-4h-pyran-2-carboxylate, ethyl-5-aryl-4-pyridones-2-carboxylate and 5-aryl-3-cyano-5-methyl-2-pyridones (aryl=3-thienyl, 2-furyl) are described.

I N previous publications from this laboratory, we have described two loci, called cys-3 and eth-lr, that control a family of enzymes of sulfur anabolism in Neurospora ( MARZLUF and METZENBERG 1968; METZENBERG 1968). These could be viewed as regulatory genes in search of a locus to control, since no proven structural mutants for any of the regulated enzymes were available. KERR and FLAVIN (1970...

Mukaiyama Michael addition of silyl enol ethers 13 to the 1,2-quinone-4-carboxylate 6 (formed in situ by oxidation of the catechol ester 8) afforded the 2-subsituted 7-hydroxybenzofuran-4-carboxylates 14 in fair to good yields. Alkyl and aryl systems work well, but highly electron-rich silyl enol ethers could not be used because of competing oxidation.

Chiral gold(i) phosphite complexes are readily prepared modularly from 3,3'-bis(triphenylsilyl)-1,1'-bi-2-naphthol. These chiral gold(i) phosphite complexes are very reactive precatalysts for the [4+2] cycloaddition of aryl-substituted 1,6-enynes with enantiomeric ratios ranging from 86 : 14 up to 94 : 6.

Quinones such as 1,4-naphthoquinones are abundant in nature and naphthoquinone based natural products are known to possess anticancer activity. This pharmacophore is known to convey anticancer activity to some drugs such as streptonigrin, mitomycin A, etc. We synthesized and characterized different classes of naphthoquinone derivatives including bis naphthoquinone, 2-arylaminonaphthoquinone, be...

A convenient, efficient and practical procedure for the synthesis of 1-amidoalkyl 2-naphthols is described by condensation of aromatic aldehydes with amides and 2-naphthol in the presence of P2O5/SiO2 as an efficient catalyst. Moreover, in the present of this catalyst, the synthesis of 14-aryl or alkyl-14H-dibenzo[a,j]xanthenes is studied by co...

A series of previously unknown bridgehead-functionalized bicyclo[2.2.2]octasilanes, Me3Si-Si8Me12-X, X-Si8Me12-X, and X-Si8Me12-Y [X, Y = -SiMe n Ph3-n (n = 1, 2) (2, 3, 10), -SiMe2Fc (Fc = ferrocenyl) (4, 11, 13, 14), -COR (R = Me, tBu) (6, 7, 12), COOMe (8), COOH (9)], have been prepared by the reaction of the silanides Me3Si-Si8Me12-K+ or K+-Si8Me12-K+ with proper electrophiles and fully cha...

To assess the acute effects of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on the 24-hour blood pressure and the secretion of catecholamines in urine and plasma, we investigated the changes in the 24-hour blood pressure and urinary and plasma concentrations of epinephrine (E) and norepinephrine (NE) in 26 men with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with and without nasal CPAP. Nasal CPAP result...
