Background: The compositions of Ferrous sulphate, Agarose and Xylenol orange dye (FAX) and Ferrous sulphate, Gelatin and Xylenol orange dye (FGX) in solution of distilled water and sulphuric acid are two tissue-equivalent gel dosimeters. Ionizing radiation causes oxidation of Fe2+ ion to Fe3+ ions which diffuse through the gel matrix and blur the image of absorbed dose over a period of hours af...

Based on the structures of natural sphingolipids, we designed heterocyclic sphingoid base mimetics in which the conformational restriction is introduced by incorporation of a pyrrolidine moiety between the 2-amino group and the C-4 carbon atom of the sphingoid base. Our synthesis features a regioselective nucleophilic ring opening of a cyclic sulfate with cyanide and subsequent manipulation of ...

Ammonium acid urate urolithiasis is a quite rare condition. Our literature review of ammonium acid urate urolithiasis suggests that ammonium acid urate urolithiasis should be regarded as a general medical complication related to anorexia nervosa, and purging by laxative abuse might be a crucially important risk.

Dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (DLLME) combined with inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) was applied for the determination of lead in different environmental water samples. Ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC), chloroform and ethanol were used as chelating agent, extraction solvent and disperser solvent, respectively. The effective parameters, such...

The title compound, NH(4) (+)·C(2)H(8)NO(6)P(2) (-)·2H(2)O, was obtained by the reaction between 1-amino-ethane-1,1-diyldiphospho-nic acid and ammonium hydroxide (1:1) in an aqueous solution. The asymmetric unit contains one anion with two H atoms transferred from the phospho-nic acid groups to the amino group of the anion and to an ammonia mol-ecule, giving an ammonium cation. The structure di...

The title compound, NH(4) (+)·C(5)H(14)NO(6)P(2) (-), was obtained from 1-ammonio-1-phosphono-pentane-1-phospho-nic acid and ammonium hydroxide in aqueous solution. The asymmetric unit of title compound contains one molecule, which consists of an ammonium cation and an aminodiphosphonic anion with the H atoms transferred from the phosphonic acid group to the amino group. The crystal structure s...

A chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed intramolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 4-(2-formylphenoxy)butenoates with amino esters provides hexahydromeno[4,3-b]pyrrolidine derivatives in high enantioselectivity (up to 94% ee).

α-Ketoamides undergo redox-annulations with cyclic secondary amines, such as 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline, pyrrolidine, piperidine, and morpholine. Catalytic amounts of benzoic acid significantly accelerate these transformations. This approach provides polycyclic imidazolidinone derivatives in typically good yields.
