A series of new 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives, 4(a-h), containing 5-chloro-2-methoxy benzohydrazide moiety were synthesized by the reaction of 5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoate with different aromatic carboxylic acids. These newly synthesized compounds were characterized by FT-IR, (1)H NMR, mass spectra, and also by elemental analysis. All the newly synthesized compounds were screened for their antibac...

The trans-o-hydroxybenzylidene pyruvate aldolase-catalysed reactions between fluoropyruvate and many (hetero)aromatic aldehydes yield aldol adducts without subsequent dehydration. Treatment of the reaction products with hydrogen peroxide yields the corresponding syn-configured α-fluoro β-hydroxy carboxylic acids which have >98 % ee. The overall chemoenzymatic approach, in which fluoropyruvate s...

Ferric hydrogensulfate catalyzed the synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles via [2 + 3] cycloaddition of nitriles and sodium azide. This method has the advantages of high yields, simple methodology, and easy workup. The catalyst can be recovered by simple filtration and reused delivering good yields. Also, ferric hydrogensulfate catalyzed the hydrolysis of nitriles to primary amides under aqu...

An enantioselective Friedel-Crafts alkylation with alpha,beta-unsaturated 2-acyl imidazoles and electron-rich aromatic nucleophiles catalyzed by bis(oxazolinyl)pyridine-scandium(III) triflate complexes has been accomplished. These alpha,beta-unsaturated 2-acyl imidazoles are effective electrophiles for the Friedel-Crafts reaction. The resulting adduct 2-acyl imidazole is easily converted to ami...

A 26-component mix of aliphatic short chain and aromatic alcohols and carboxylic acids was used to evaluate the recently introduced Agilent J&W DB-624UI column to show acceptable peak shape and resolution. The column was compared to non-Agilent 624 phases. Organic acids had reasonable peak width and peak symmetry for a narrow range of volatilities (C3 through C8) on the DB-624UI column, suggest...

a highly efficient method for the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids using polyvinylpolypyrrolidone supported - boron trifluoride (pvpp-bf3) in the presence of 35% hydrogen peroxide has been developed in acetonitrile at 60 °c. this procedure cleanly oxidizes variety of aldehydes to the corresponding carboxylic acids. oxidative esterification of benzaldehyde utilizing pvpp-bf3/h2o2(35%) ...

Vilsmeier Several diamide derivatives containing 2-chloroquinoline scaffolds were synthesized via Ugi reaction of 2-chloroquinoline-3-carboxaldehydes, amines, carboxylic acids and isocyanides. The diversity of these quinolinyl Ugi-adducts was increased by using 2-chloroquinoline-3-carboxylic acids as a source of acid. Among them, compounds 2d, 2n, 2p, 4a, 4c and<strong...

Introduction: The objective of this research effort is to develop the technology and operational protocols necessary to build and test a flight-sized brassboard composite instrument comprised of a microCE system, a nanoelectrospray ionization source, and a mass spectrometer, capable of performing integrated end-to-end chemical analyses on samples that are of paramount interest in astrobiology (...
