The title compound, C(25)H(23)NO, consists of a biphenyl-4-carbonyl unit attached to an exocyclic double bond group at position 2 of an indole unit, which presents methyl groups as substituents at positions 1 and 3. The mol-ecular conformation is s-cis with an E configuration, supported by weak intra-molecular C-H⋯O contacts involving the methyl groups and the carbonyl function. The rings of th...

The title compound, C(12)H(14)O(6)S, is a dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester of 3,4-ethyl-enedioxy-thio-phene, which is a component of electrically conductive poly(3,4-ethyl-enedioxy-thio-phene) (PEDOT). The ethyl-ene group is disordered over two sites with occupancy factors 0.64 and 0.36. Both the carbonyl groups are coplanar with the thio-phene ring. The mol-ecules form centrosymmetric dimers wi...

Protein carbonyls are widely analysed as a measure of protein oxidation. Several different methods exist for their determination. A previous study had described orders of magnitude variance that existed when protein carbonyls were analysed in a single laboratory by ELISA using different commercial kits. We have further explored the potential causes of variance in carbonyl analysis in a ring stu...

The aerobic oxidation of alcohols was efficiently completed in high conversion and selectivity using Cu3/2[PMo12O40]/SiO2 as catalyst under mild reaction condition. This reaction provides a new environmentally friendly rout to the conversion of alcoholic function to carbonyl groups.

In the title compound, C(21)H(18)O(5), the dihedral angle between the naphthalene ring system and the benzene ring is 86.65 (6)°. The bridging carbonyl C-C(=O)-C plane makes dihedral angles of 83.57 (7) and 20.21 (8)°, respectively, with the naphthalene ring system and the benzene ring. The ester O-C=O plane and the benzene ring are almost coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 3.81 (18)°. The tw...

The synthesis of the title compound, C(12)H(15)BrN(2)OS, involves the reaction of 4-bromo-benzoyl chloride with potassium thio-cyanate in dry acetone, followed by condensation of 4-bromo-benzoyl isothio-cyanate with diethyl-amine. The carbonyl and thio-carbonyl bond lengths indicate that these correspond to double bonds. The short C-N bond lengths reveal the effects of resonance in this part of...

The nature of bonding and aromaticity of Ti(3)(CO)(3), a mill-shaped metal-carbonyl complex, is studied carefully. A unique bonding mechanism between metal and carbonyl groups is found in this species. Ti(3)(CO)(3) is an example of a metal-carbonyl complex with prominent metal to carbonyl donation. Moreover, it is proven that not only is Ti(3)(CO)(3) not an antiaromatic complex but also it is t...

The structure and absolute configuration of the title compound, C8H11NO4, which is a known quorum-sensing modulator, have been determined. The mol-ecule exhibits signs of an intra-molecular attractive carbon-yl-carbonyl n→π* inter-action between the amide and lactone ester groups, specifically - a short contact of 2.709 (2) Å between the amide oxygen atom and ester carbon atom, approach of the ...
