The synthesis of cis-N-[a-carbobenzyloxy-b-(p-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]-3-phthalimido-4-styryl-2-azetidinone is described. We have found that the electron-rich Schiff bases can afford the cis-b-lactam ring even in the presence of the free hydroxyl functions. The mechanisms of cis and trans-b-lactam ring formation are discuss...

Cis-Dichloro(diaminosuccinic acid)palladium(II), cis-[Pd(H2dasa)Cl2] (I), or cis-dichloro(diaminosuccinate diethyl ester)palladium(II), cis-[Pd(Et2dasa)Cl2] (II) reacts with two equivalents of AgClO4 to give insoluble Pd(dasa) or an aqueous solution of [Pd(Et2dasa) (H2O)2](ClO4)2, respectively. Three solutions of this salt were titrated with NaOH (I = NaClO4 (0.15M),37 degrees C), and 133 E(H+)...

We examined the distribution of the non-clathrin-coated vesicle-associated coat protein beta-COP in rat exocrine pancreatic cells by immunogold cytochemistry. Labeling for beta-COP was found in the Golgi region (48%) where it was associated with vesicles and buds of approximately 50 nm, showing a characteristic approximately 10-nm-thick coat. The other half of the label was present in the cytop...

A dodecanuclear Fe(III) complex, consisting of two {Fe(6)} units coupled across a single hydroxy-bridge and a cage-like Pd(II) trimer were synthesised using the highly branched, pentadecadentate chelating ligand cis,cis-1,3,5-cyclohexanetriamine-N,N,N',N',N'',N''-hexaacetic acid (H(6)hact).
