which showed bluish coloration by spraying modified Ehrlich’s reagent, were isolated along with valiecolin from Emericella purpurea SAMSON & MOUCHACCA IFO 30849 that was isolated from Egyptian desert soil. Recently, new 1,4di-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,3-dicyano-1,3-butadiene derivatives, designated epurpurins A to C, were also isolated. Three new compounds with reddish coloration by spraying modified...

The title compound, C(21)H(19)ClF(3)NO, was synthesized from 3-[(E)-2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-prop-1-en-yl]-2,2-dimethyl-cyclo-propane-carboxylic acid and diphenyl-amine. The propenyl and carboxamide substituents lie on the same side of the cyclo-propane ring plane, with the two methyl substituents on either side of the plane. The phenyl rings of the carboxamide are inclined at an angle of 84.6 ...

A range of microorganisms were assessed for their ability to degrade glucosinolates, using sinigrin (2-propenyl glucosinolate) as a model compound. Eight different species capable of growing on sinigrin as a sole carbon source were isolated. These were predominantly Gram-positive bacteria which also degraded the natural glucosinolates within rapemeal. Growth of the majority of these organisms i...

This paper presents product translational energy spectroscopy measurements of the primary photofragmentation channels of 2-chloropropene excited at 193 nm and of the unimolecular dissociation of the 2-propenyl radical. Tunable vacuum ultraviolet ~VUV! photoionization of the products allows us to distinguish between the various product isomers formed in these processes. The data show evidence fo...

Mosquitoes are exceptionally efficient in detecting their hosts for blood meal using odorant binding proteins, viz. 3N7H and 3Q8I and spread several dreadful diseases. DEET is a synthetic mosquito repellent widely used all over world for protection against mosquito bite. Reports reveal that, synthetic mosquito repellents may pose health problems in considerably large population. In view of the ...

This study examines the pyrolysis products of smoked methamphetamine mixed with tobacco that was trapped with a C8 adsorbent cartridge and then detected by gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. According to the results, the mainstream smoke contains 2-methylpropyl-benzene, 2-chloropropyl-benzene, 2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-4H-pyran-4-one, 3-ethyl-phenol, methamphetamine, dimethyl...

The fumigant, contact, and repellent activities of four essential oils extracted from Citrus limonum (Sapindales: Rutaceae), Litsea cubeba (Laurales: Lauraceae), Cinnamomum cassia, and Allium sativum L. (Asparagales: Alliaceae) against 6th instars and adults of the darkling beetle, Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), one of the main pests of materials and products of Ju...
