We report the synthesis of a new hierarchical mesoporous TS-1 type zeolite by a simple steam-assisted crystallization method. This novel product exhibits high catalytic activity and a strongly prolonged lifetime in the selective oxidation of 2,3,6-trimethylphenol to trimethyl-p-benzoquinone.

A series of novel pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives was designed and synthesized as thymidylate synthase (TS) inhibitors. Molecular design was performed on the human TS complex model built on the basis of the reported structure of TS-deoxyuridinemonophosphate (dUMP)-CB3717 ternary complex. From a docking study, we expected that a one-carbon bridge between pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine and an arom...

The Gaussian-2 computational method has been applied to study the following two reactions: (1) dihydrogen exchange between methanol and formaldehyde, and (2) hydrogen transfer in formic acid. In the investigation of these two reactions, the cases of both having and not having a catalytic water molecule have been examined. It has been found that, for the first reaction, the transition structures...

This is the first report on the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of dibenzo[b,f][1,4]oxazepine compounds in the presence of an (R,R)-Ru-Ts-DPEN complex. The developed catalytic asymmetric protocol provides biologically active 11-substituted-10,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,f][1,4]oxazepines with excellent conversion (up to >99%) and high enantioselectivity (up to 93% ee) in water as an environment...

background: oxaliplatin (ox) significantly enhanced the antitumor activity of 5-fu in patients with advanced colorectal cancer and recently some phase ii trials have evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of oxaliplatin in neoadjuvant setting for treatment of locally advanced rectal cancer. on the other hand various studies have demonstrated that the overexpression of thymidylate synthase (ts) ...
