n-(7-chloro-1-methyl-2-oxo-5-phenyl-2,3-dihydro-1h-benzo[e][1,4]diazepin-3-yl)thiophene-2 carboxamide-[14c-carboxy] was prepared as part of a 6-step sequence from thiophene-2-carbonitrile -[cyano-14c] as a keysynthetic intermediate which has been synthesized from 2-iodothiophene and zinc [14c]-cyanide in thepresence of tetrakis (triphenylphosphine) palladium.

The effect of H2 on isomerization pathways and on the acid site density on WOx-ZrO2 catalysts was explored using kinetic measurements of acid-catalyzed o-xylene isomerization reactions. Initial o-xylene isomerization rates on WOx-ZrO2 at 523 K are proportional to the H2 concentration even though H atoms are not involved directly in reaction turnovers, as shown by the low deuterium content in th...

Conjugate addition reaction of various nucleophiles across the vinyl group of 2-chloro-4-vinylpyrimidine, 2-chloro-4-(1-phenylvinyl)pyrimidine and 2-chloro-4-vinylquinazoline provides the corresponding 2-chloro-4-(2-substituted ethyl)pyrimidines and 2-chloro-4-(2-substituted ethyl)quinazolines. Treatment of these products, without isolation, with N-methylpiperazine results in nucleophilic displ...

The aim of the present study was to synthesize and characterize divalent metal ions Nickel, Copper Zinc complexes 5-chloro 2-furaldehyde thiosemicarbazone. Firstly ligand prepared from reaction between 5-Chloro-2-furaldehyde thiosemicarbazide, second step involved synthesis Ni(II), Cu(II) Zn(II) compounds (ligand or complex) characterized using different analytical techniques such as elemental ...

Of the sugars recovered from lignocellulose, D-glucose can be readily converted into ethanol by baker's or brewer's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). However, xylose that is obtained by the hydrolysis of the hemicellulosic portion is not fermentable by the same species of yeasts. Xylose fermentation by native yeasts can be achieved via isomerization of xylose to its ketose isomer, xylulose. Iso...

The conformational isomerization dynamics of melatonin and 5-methoxy N-acetyltryptophan methyl amide (5-methoxy NATMA) have been studied using the methods of IR-UV hole-filling spectroscopy and IR-induced population transfer spectroscopy. Using these techniques, single conformers of melatonin were excited via a well-defined NH stretch fundamental with an IR pump laser. This excess energy was us...

Photoisomerization of azobenzene derivatives is a versatile tool for devising light-responsive materials for a broad range of applications in photonics, robotics, microfabrication, and biomaterials science. Some applications rely on fast isomerization kinetics, while for others, bistable azobenzenes are preferred. However, solid-state materials where the isomerization kinetics depends on the en...

To elucidate possible reasons for the recalcitrance of 2-chlorotoluene, the metabolism of chloromethylcatechols, formed after dioxygenation and dehydrogenation by Ralstonia sp. strain PS12 tetrachlorobenzene dioxygenase and chlorobenzene dihydrodiol dehydrogenase, was monitored using chlorocatechol dioxygenases and chloromuconate cycloisomerases partly purified from Ralstonia sp. strain PS12 an...
