Inhibition of the growth of Lactobadlus casei with folic acid as the nutrilite is a general property of 2,4-diaminopyrimidines, 2-aminopyrimidines, and condensed systems containing these groupings (1). These compounds comprise a spectrum of inhibitors. At one end lie the simpler diaminopyrimidines which are competitive antagonists of folic acid (1, 2). The center may be represented by 2-aminopu...

The CoI2(PPh3)2/Zn system effectively catalyzes the [2 + 2 + 2] ene-diyne cycloaddition of 1,6-heptadiynes with allenes in a highly regio- and chemoselective fashion to yield substituted benzene derivatives in good to excellent yields.

A new strategy for Rh(I)-catalyzed [2+2+2] cycloadditions of 1,6-diynes with potassium (Z)-(2-bromovinyl)trifluoroborate as the third two-atom unit has been realized, which provides a facile entry to polysubstituented benzene derivatives.

microwave-assisted three component cyclocondensation reactions of aldehydes, amides and dienophiles in the presence of acetic anhydride and para-toluenesulfonic acid as a catalyst to afford the highly substituted cyclohexene derivatives, in relatively good yields after several minutes are reported.

BACKGROUND Tetramic acids with polyenyl substituents are an important class of compounds in medicinal chemistry. Both solid and solution phase syntheses of such molecules have been reported recently. Thiolactomycin, a clinical candidate for treatment of tuberculosis has led to further explorations in this class. We have recently developed an efficient synthesis of tetramic acids derivatives fro...

Hexa-substituted benzene derivatives show larger two-photon cross sections than the corresponding dipolar counterparts and the largest values of delta(max) = 2000 GM and delta(max)/MW = 2.25 GM g(-1) have been obtained with a compound having C[triple bond]C and C=C bonds in the conjugation bridge.

We have successfully developed a new synthetic approach to modulate the electrostatic potentials of metallocavitands and thus their selective recognition towards substituted benzene derivatives via integrating two metal cations of different electronegativity into a self-assembled system.

When it comes to joint pain, it is mostly the cartilage that is inflamed and chronic headaches often result from neural inflammatory processes. Overcoming this pain will often seem impossible. What is little known: Superhormones, which can regulate the hormonal balance of the body, exist – these are eicosanoids, derivatives of arachidonic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid. What effect do the arachido...
