As a green material, used date pits oil is increasingly utilized as inexpensive feedstock for ethyl ester (biodiesel) production. Waste date pits as a raw material are one of the highly produced agricultural wastes in Iran. This study investigated the effect of several procedure parameters including the ethanol/oil molar ratio, reaction temperature and amount of catalysts on the yield of the pr...

protonation of the reactive intermediates generated in the raction between dalkyl acetylenedicarboxylates and triphenylphosphine by isonitrosoacetophenone leads to vinyltriphenylphosphonium salts, which undergo intramolecular wittig reaction to produce dalkyl 4-phenyl-n-hydroxypyrrole-2,3-dicarboxylates in moderate yields.

background: our purpose was to investigate propolis and its component caffeic acid phenethyl ester (cape) for their antioxidant effects on the brain tissue of rats exposed to ionizing radiation (ir). materials and methods: fifty-four male albino sprague-dawley rats, divided into six groups, were designed as normal control group, cranial irradiation of 5 gray alone, irradiation plus cape, irradi...

essential oils (eos) extracted from aerial parts of aster indamellus grierson, calamintha umbrosa benth. and erigeron annuus (l.) pres.were analyzed by gc, gc/ms. the major acetylenic constituent (cis-lachnophyllum ester) of e. annuus was isolated and characterized by 1h and 13c-nmr spectra. their toxicity and repellent effect against lipaphiserysimi was tested. oils of e. annuus and c. umbrosa...

The pentacyclic acridinium salt RHPS4 (3,11-difluoro-6,8,13-trimethyl-8H-quino [4,3,2-kl] acridinium methosulfate, compound 1) is one of the most interesting DNA G-quadruplex binding molecules due to its high efficacy in tumor cell growth inhibition both in in vitro models and in vivo against human tumor xenografts in combination with conventional chemotherapeutics. Despite compound 1 having de...

In the crystal of the title compound, C(24)H(22)NO(2) (+)·CF(3)SO(3) (-), adjacent cations and anions are connected through C-H⋯O, C-H⋯F and S-O⋯π inter-actions, while neighboring cations via π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.962 (2) Å]. The acridine and benzene ring systems are oriented at a dihedral angle of 14.6 (1)°. The carboxyl group is twisted at an angle of 87.6 (1)° rel...

In the present research, synthesis of butyl oleate ester from oleic acid and butanol using loofa-immobilized Rhizopus oryzae as a whole cell biocatalyst (LIC) was studied in which hexane was used as the hydrophobic solvent. Decrease of mass transfer limitations as result of the interface formation between the two immiscible substrates, positively affected on the reaction progress (87% as the es...

in this study, the effect of hydrocarbon and rosin ester resins combination on the physical and mechanical properties of thermoplastic road markings were evaluated. at first, two basic thermoplastic road marking formulations based on hydrocarbon and rosin ester resins were prepared. several samples of the blends of two basic formulations for thermoplastic road marking were characterized and com...

stable crystalline phosphorus ylides are obtained in excellent yields from the 1:1:1 addition reactionbetween hydantoins or thiohydantoins and dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates in the presence oftriphenylphosphine. these phosphoranes undergo smooth intramolecular wittig reaction followedby an electrocyclic ring opening to produce dialkyl (e)-2-(2,5-dihydro-5,5-diaryl-2-thioxo-1h-imidazol-4-yl)fum...
