In this paper, we introduce Brønsted acidic ionic liquid (BAIL), (4-sulfobutyl) tris (4-sulfophenyl) phosphonium hydrogen sulfate as a green and efficient catalyst for the synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted quinoxaline derivatives via the one-pot condensation reaction of various o-phenylenediamine with 1,2-diketone derivatives. At all experiments, the desired products were synthesized successfully....

A convenient heterogeneous continuous-flow procedure for the polarity reversal of aromatic α-diketones is presented. Propaedeutic batch experiments have been initially performed to select the optimal supported base capable to initiate the two electron-transfer process from the carbamoyl anion of the N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) solvent to the α-diketone and generate the corresponding enediolate ...

A formal total synthesis of (-)-cephalotaxine (1) has been achieved. The key step is an intramolecular aldol condensation of the diketone 9, which in turn was obtained in three steps from the azabicyclic compound 6 derived from D-proline according to Seebach's procedure. Treatment of 9 with a catalytic amount of sodium 2-methyl-2-butanolate in benzene at room temperature gave the alpha, beta-un...

Fluoroquinolones and tetracyclines are known as β-diketone antibiotics (DKAs) because of bearing a diketone group in their molecular structure. DKAs are the most widely used antibiotics to prevent generation of disease in humans and animals and to suppress bacterial growth in aquaculture. In recent years, overuse of DKAs has caused serious environmental risk due to their pseudo-persistence in t...

Proposing that a blend of the chemical diversity of small synthetic molecules with the immunological characteristics of the antibody molecule will lead to therapeutic agents with superior properties, we here present a device that equips small synthetic molecules with both effector function and long serum half-life of a generic antibody molecule. As a prototype, we developed a targeting device t...

Mouse monoclonal antibody 38C2 is the prototype of a new class of catalytic antibodies that were generated by reactive immunization. Through a reactive lysine, 38C2 catalyzes aldol and retro-aldol reactions using the enamine mechanism of natural aldolases. In addition to its remarkable versatility and efficacy in synthetic organic chemistry, 38C2 has been used for the selective activation of pr...

A physico-chemical research of bis-(dipivaloylmethanato)barium(II) (Ba(thd)2) has been carricd out from the point of its use in CVD processes as a precursor (thermal stability, immunity to external effects and etc.). The optimal conditions for synthesis, purification and storage have been found. It has bee11 shown. that the sublimated product presents a mixture of several modifications with the...
