In the title compound, C13H10ClNOS2, the dihedral angle between the rhodanine (r.m.s. deviation = 0.008 Å) and 4-chloro-benzyl-idene rings is 1.79 (11)°. The allyl group attached to the N atom, which lies almost perpendicular to the rhodanine ring, is disordered over two orientations in a 0.519 (13):0.481 (13) ratio. A short intra-molecular C-H⋯S inter-action closes an S(6) ring. In the crystal...

Glycosylations of 4,6-tethered glucosazide donors with a panel of model acceptors revealed the effect of acceptor nucleophilicity on the stereoselectivity of these donors. The differences in reactivity among the donors were evaluated in competitive glycosylation reactions, and their relative reactivities were found to be reflected in the stereoselectivity in glycosylations with a set of fluorin...

A newly developed mesoporous mixed metal oxide (K-Cu-TiO(2)) catalyst is capable of highly selective, gas-phase benzyl alcoholbenzaldehyde transformation at excellent yields (>99%) under surprisingly low temperatures (203 degrees C, bp of benzyl alcohol). The low-temperature reaction conditions and integration of K and Cu(I) components into the TiO(2) matrix are of vital importance for the stab...

Gettin' a little sugar-no alcohol required: A procedure for the direct glycosylation of ketones without a hydroxy intermediate enables the site-selective glycosylation of hydroxyketones at the ketone or the alcohol functionality without the use of protecting groups on the aglycone (see scheme). Site selectivity is controlled by the catalyst structure in hydrosilylation and dehydrogenative silyl...

Sustained or repeated exposure to sedating drugs, such as alcohol, triggers homeostatic adaptations in the brain that lead to the development of drug tolerance and dependence. These adaptations involve long-term changes in the transcription of drug-responsive genes as well as an epigenetic restructuring of chromosomal regions that is thought to signal and maintain the altered transcriptional st...
