The formation of cis-anethole and various dimers as a result of the exposure of trans-anethole to microporous solid acids (dealuminated HY zeolites), or UV-Vis irradiation was established by means of high resolution gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. 3,4-bis-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-(E)-hex-2-ene was the most abundant compound among eight different methoxyphenyl-disubstituted hexenes pro...

The mutagenicity of 17 aliphatic epoxides was determined using the specially constructed mutants of Salmonella typhimurium developed by Ames. The activity of these epoxides together with those reported in the literature as mutagens in strains TA100 and TA1535 depended on the degree of substitution around the oxirane ring. Monosubstituted oxiranes were the most potent mutagens in both strains. 1...

Iterative cross-coupling represents a potentially general approach for the simple, efficient, and flexible construction of a wide range of functional small molecules. In this context, (1-bromovinyl)-N-methyliminodiacetic acid (MIDA) boronate is a very useful building block for small molecule synthesis. This compound can serve as a starting material for the preparation of a wide range of 1,1-dis...

Two classes of 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles were synthesized using one-pot reaction of α-tosyloxy ketones/α-halo ketones, sodium azide, and terminal alkynes in the presence of aq PEG (1:1, v/v) using the click chemistry approach and evaluated for Src kinase inhibitory activity. Structure-activity relationship analysis demonstrated that insertion of C(6)H(5)- and 4-CH(3)C(6)H(4)- at positio...

The use of a non-coordinating solvent for the aza-Claisen rearrangement of delta,epsilon-disubstituted acetimidates switches on a substrate directing effect that gives excellent stereoselectivity.

A number of 3-amino-1, 2, 4-triazin-5 (2H)- ones(1) were synthesized and condensed with a-haloketones to give 2,6-disubstituted imidazo [1, 2-b] [1, 2, 4]-triazin-3 (4H)-ones (2). These compounds were reacted further with a - haloketones to yield N-alkylated products (3).

lactatingdairy cows (n=177) fed with grass and corn silage ad libitum kept in pasture, were randomly assigned to evaluate how urea nitrogen in plasma and milk can be related to their pregnancy rate. blood and milk samples were collected on the artificial insemination (ai) day to evaluate plasma urea nitrogen (pun) and milk urea nitrogen (mun) as well as progesterone levels, excluding cows with ...

3,7-Disubstituted N-ethylphenothiazine derivatives were synthesized as redox shuttle candidates for lithium-ion batteries. Battery cycling results show that three derivatives prevent overcharge.

A pincer-like chiral auxiliary strategy for synthesizing various optically active α,α-disubstituted amino acids in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities is described.

A useful synthesis of rare 1,2-disubstituted ferrocenylalkyl amines with (S(Fc),S) configuration has been achieved in a sequential one-pot methodology from (S)-p-tolylsulfinylferrocene.
