Highly active Cu (II) complex with 1,4-dihydroxy anthraquinone as a cheap and accessable ligand could be used as a catalyst for the preparation of structurally different propargylamines from a one-pot, three-component reaction of terminal alkynes, aldehydes, and secondary amines with high yields under solvent-free conditions. The 1,4-dihydroxy anthraquinone is a very efficient Cu(II) scavenger ...

The preparation, structure and spectral characteristics o f intensely colored salts of 2-hydroxyim ino-l,3-indandione with am m onia and amines are described. The crystallization o f the salts takes place with a high yield. All the salts fluoresce in DM SO. M N D O calculations show that the form ation o f an anion from 2-hydroxyim ino-l,3-indandione is associated with substantial alterations i...

The synthesis of a new triazacyclophane scaffold (TACO scaffold) containing three selectively deprotectable amines is described. The TACO scaffold is conformationally more constrained than our frequently used TAC scaffold, due to introduction of a substituent on the para position of the benzoic acid hinge, which prevents ring flipping and makes it more attractive than the TAC scaffold for prepa...

Nitric oxide-releasing mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) were prepared using an aminosilane-template surfactant ion exchange reaction. Initially, bare silica particles were synthesized under basic conditions in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). These particles were functionalized with nitric oxide (NO) donor precursors (i.e., secondary amines) via the addition of amino...

A coumarin-based prodrug system has been recently developed in our laboratory for the preparation of esterase-sensitive prodrugs of amines, peptides, and peptidomimetics. The drug release rates from this prodrug system were found to be dependent on the structural features of the drug moiety. In certain cases, the release can be undesirably slow for drugs that are secondary amines with relativel...

Eight different zirconium phenoxyimine complexes were synthesized, characterized and tested as catalysts for ethylene polymerization. The phenoxyimine compounds were prepared by condensation of substituted salicylaldehydes with aliphatic and aromatic amines, the substituted salicylaldehydes from ortho substituted phenols and paraformaldehyde. The introduction of iodo substituents was achieved e...

The electrochemical coating technique was used for the preparation of a polypyrrole coating on a stainless-steel wire, and applied as a fibre for solid phase microextraction (SPME). The polypyrrole fibre was employed for analyzing four volatile aliphatic amines (ethylamine, propylamine, butylamine and pentylamine) in water by headspace SPME using gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (G...

Chiral amines and amino acids play an important role in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical and chemical industry. They are frequently used as synthons for the preparation of various pharmaceutically active substances and agrochemicals, or as resolving agents for chiral acids. Consequently, there is a need for efficient methods to obtain the desired R or S enantiomer in an optically pure form. The...

In this article, recyclable Fe3O4@SiO2@FeCl3 was synthesized and entirely characterized by various techniques including XRD, FT-IR, SEM, EDX and VSM analysis. The catalytic ability of produced Fe3O4@SiO2@FeCl3 was studied in the aza-Michael reaction of diethyl amine and ethyl crotonate which lead to high yie...
