The title coordination polymer, [Ni(C(10)H(8)O(6))(C(10)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(2)](n), was obtained by the hydro-thermal reaction of nickel(II) sulfate, benzene-1,4-dioxy-diacetic acid (p-phenyl-enedioxy-diacetic acid) and 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'-bpy) in alkaline aqueous solution. Each Ni(II) atom is coordinated by two O atoms from two benzene-1,4-dioxy-diacetate ligands, two N atoms from two 4,4'-bpy ...

A double isotope derivative method for urinary aldosterone determination was improved in terms of economy (to one fifth the original cost) and efficiency (to less than half the time) by a combination of several individual improvements. Aldosterone-4-14C was used as an indicator, eliminating the procedure of preparing aldosterone-14C-diacetate. 3H-acetylation was done after, instead of before, d...

Novel 2'(β)-methyl-5'-deoxyapiose purine phosphonic acid analogues were designed and synthesized from 2-propanone1,3-diacetate. Condensation successfully proceeded from a glycosyl donor 9 under Vorbrüggen conditions. Condensation of aldehyde 14 with Wittig reagent [(diethoxyphosphinyl)methylidene] triphenylphosphorane gave the desired nucleoside phosphonate analogues 15. Ammonolysis and hydroly...

In the mol-ecular structure of the title compound, C(14)H(21)NO(5), the six-membered ring of the indolizine moiety adopts a chair conformation. There are two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The oxopyrrolidine ring attached to the indolizine ring system is nearly planar, with mean deviations of 0.018 (3) and 0.010 (3) Å for the two mol-ecules. The absolute configuration of the tit...

Lipase immobilized novel high surface area core-shell superparamagnetic nanoparticles have been fabricated and used as efficient reusable catalysts for the selective production of pharmaceutically important chiral isomers from meso-cyclopent-2-en-1,4-diacetate.

Atom transfer radical addition (ATRA) and polymerisation (ATRP) reactions are commonly catalyzed by copper(I) complexes which react, reversibly, with a dormant alkyl halide initiator (RX) releasing a reactive organic radical R˙. The copper catalyst bears a multidentate N-donor ligand (L) and the active catalyst is simply Cu(I)L. The role of the catalyst in these reactions is to abstract a halog...

Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal (Indian ginseng, winter cherry, Solanaceae) is widely used in traditional medicine. Roots are either chewed or used to prepare beverages (aqueous decocts). The major secondary metabolites of Withania somnifera are the withanolides, which are C-28-steroidal lactone triterpenoids. Withania somnifera extracts exert chemopreventive and anticancer activities in vitro an...
