Conductance of gap junctions in many preparations has been shown to be sensitive to cytoplasmic pH, decreasing as pH decreases below 7.5 in fish and amphibian embryos and below 7.1 in crayfish septate axon. We have found a new class of compounds, benzyl acetate derivatives, that reversibly decrease junctional conductance, gj, when applied in low concentration (approximately 1 mM). Simultaneous ...

With the ever-increasing demand for clean technology in industrial sector, natural methods, such as enzyme-catalyzed, represent a sustainable alternative to chemical processes. In this context, synthesis of benzyl benzoate ester using commercial immobilized lipases was evaluated. For this, kinetic study carried out determine reaction time (24 h) and enzyme concentration (10 wt%). Then, 22 full ...

N-(Protected α-aminoacyl)benzotriazoles are powerful acylating agents, and they are used frequently for preparing peptides and their mimetics and conjugates. The present paper describes the synthesis and characterization of a new benzyl {2-[(2-(1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-1-yl)-2-oxoethyl)amino]-2-oxoethyl} carbamate.

The zwitterionic title compound, C(12)H(17)NO(3)S, is a reduced Schiff base derived from (S)-N-(2-hy-droxy-benzyl-idene)methio-nine. An intra-molecular inter-action between the N-H and carboxyl-ate groups forms a roughly planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.1405 Å) five-membered ring containing the H(N), N, Cα, C(carboxyl-ate) and O atoms in a penta-gonal conformation. In the crystal, a supra-molecular...

Monodispersed intermetallic AuCu pentagonal nanorods with controlled size and composition have been developed by a seed-mediated growth route. The AuCu/C nanomaterial catalyzed the coupling reaction of sulfonamide with benzyl alcohol in good to excellent yields.

In the title compound, C(30)H(26)N(4)O, the dihedral angle between the two benzimidazole rings is 69.35 (9)°. The dihedral angles between the benzimidazole ring system and the phenyl ring are 76.79 (12) and 86.10 (11)° in the two benzyl-benzimidazole moieties.

In the title compound, C(24)H(24)F(3)NO, the N-benzyl derivative of fluoxetine {N-methyl-3-[4-(trifluoro-meth-yl)phen-oxy]-benzene-propanamine}, the three aromatic rings A, B and C are inclined to one another by 76.77 (12)° for A/B, 17.05 (14)° for A/C and 89.66 (14)° for B/C. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked via C-H⋯π inter-actions to form one-dimensional chains propagating in t...

A procedure has been developed for the regioselective, high yielding synthesis of 2H-indazoles that involves direct alkylation of indazoles with various allyl and benzyl bromides, and α-bromocarbonyl compounds.

A W-containing inorganic-organic nanohybrid with a plate-like morphology has been successfully prepared through a nonaqueous synthetic route using WCl(6) as the tungsten source and benzyl alcohol as the solvent. The as-prepared hybrid nanomaterial was used directly as an efficient precursor for the formation of WO(3) nanoplates via a simple thermal treatment process. The as-obtained WO(3) mater...
