The regulation of naphthalene and 1-naphthol metabolism in a Rhodococcus sp. (NCIMB 12038) has been investigated. The microorganism utilizes separate pathways for the degradation of these compounds, and they are regulated independently. Naphthalene metabolism was inducible, but not by salicylate, and 1-naphthol metabolism, although constitutive, was also repressed during growth on salicylate. T...

Trichloroethylene (TCE) is the most frequently detected groundwater contaminant, and 1-naphthol is an important chemical manufacturing intermediate. Directed evolution was used to increase the activity of toluene ortho-monooxygenase (TOM) of Burkholderia cepacia G4 for both chlorinated ethenes and naphthalene oxidation. When expressed in Escherichia coli, the variant TOM-Green degraded TCE (2.5...

Acylglucuronides formed from carboxylic acids by UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are electrophilic metabolites able to covalently bind proteins. In this study, we demonstrate the reactivity of the acylglucuronide from the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, ketoprofen, toward human and rat liver UGTs. Ketoprofen acylglucuronide irreversibly inhibited the glucuronidation of 1-naphthol and 2...

We report the synthesis and characterization of several novel aminopyridine - L-amino acid derived Cu(II)-complexes. The ligands are prepared by a one-pot reductive alkylation of the L-amino acid scaffold and the respective aminopyridine Cu(II)-complexes were obtained by reaction with CuCl2 or Cu(acetato)2. All compounds were characterized by spectroscopic techniques, as well as ESI-MS. Two of ...

One-pot multicomponent condensation of β-naphthol, aromatic aldehydes, acetamide or urea in the presence of potassium hydrogen sulfate was carried out under solvent-free condition to afford amidoalkyl naphthols in 83%~96% yields.

A microwave-assisted Pd(0)-catalyzed alkyne migratory insertion/β-naphthol dearomatization cascade process has been accomplished to access a variety of spirocyclic compounds bearing all-carbon quaternary stereogenic centers in high yields with excellent chemoselectivities.

In the title compound, C(22)H(21)NO(5)S, the 2-naphthol group and the thio-phene ring are almost coplanar, with a dihedral angle of 5.75 (7)°. The structure is stabilized by intra-molecular O-H⋯O, O-H⋯N and C-H⋯S, and inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions.
