IN THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: 5-(5,7-dihydr-oxy-4-oxo-4H-chromen-yl)-2-hydroxy-benzene-sulfonic acid dihydrate], C(15)H(10)O(8)S·2H(2)O, the benzopyran-one ring is not coplanar with the phenyl ring, the dihedral angle between them being 41.35 (3)°. No H atom was placed on the sulphonic acid group because it was not possible to distinguish between the two S=O bonds and the S-O bond. In...

Heparin-based anticoagulants are drugs of choice in the therapy and prophylaxis of thromboembolic diseases. Idraparinux is a synthetic anticoagulant pentasaccharide based on the heparin antithrombin-binding domain. In the frame of our ongoing research aimed at the synthesis of sulfonic acid-containing heparinoid anticoagulants, we elaborated a modular pathway to obtain a series of idraparinux-a...

Toluene is an important toxic volatile agent found in many modern industrial processes. Toluene exposure is of particular concern because of the ongoing exposure of thousands of workers in industrial plants and recent research has indicated that toluene/exposure can result in chronic toxicity. The monitoring and control of toluene exposure among at-risk workers is necessary. Urine hippuric acid...

Catalytic activities of eight sulfonic acid group functionalized ionic liquids in water were compared for the hydrolysis of Sigmacell cellulose (DP ~ 450) in the 150-180°C temperature range by measuring total reducing sugar (TRS) and glucose produced. The catalytic activity of acidic ionic liquids with different cation types decreases in the order imidazolium > pyridinium > triethanol ammonium ...

the complexation of alkali metal cations by the water-soluble p-sulfonic acid calix(4)arenewas thermodynamically characterized using spectrophotometeric data which are consistentwith the formation of a 1:1 complex resulting from electrostatic interactions between thesulfonato groups and alkali metal cations. in this study, we determined the formationconstants (log k) of the complexes and have c...

The preparation of 5-bromo-2-naphthol (4) in three steps from 5-amino-2-naphthol (1) is described. A sulfonic acid group is introduced at the 1-position as an activating and protecting group for the Sandmeyer reaction. The sulfonate group allows for the use of only water and sulfuric acid as solvents. The sulfonic acid is introduced with three equivalents of sulfuric acid, and it is removed in ...
