UNLABELLED BACKGROUND An antibacterial is a substance that either kills bacteria or slows their growth. Antifungal are the agents that use drugs for treatment of fungal infections. 5-Chloro-1,3-benzoxazol-2(3 H)-one (5-Chloro Benzoxazolinone) contains an azole ring structure. Numbers of azole compounds are reported as antibacterial and antifungal agents. Benzoxazolinones naturally occur in p...

In this manuscript, we combined DFT (Density Functional Theory) calculations (BP86-D3/def2-TZVP level of theory) and a search in the CSD (Cambridge Structural Database) to analyze the role of halogen–halogen interactions in the crystal structure of fullerene halides. We have used a theoretical model of a halogenated C60 and evaluated the formation of halogen–halogen complexes between F, Cl, Br ...

Trihalomethanes (methane derivatives containing chlorine and/or bromine) have been determined in drinking waters in Upper Silesia the most industrious and most populated region in Poland. Halomethane content determination is based on Capillary Gas Chromatography (CGC) with Electron Capture Detector (ECD), while these compounds' isolation from waters by Solid-Phase Microextraction (SPME) is base...

A series of novel ferrocenyl- and aryl-phosphonofluorodithioic salts, adducts, and esters has been prepared. The reaction of 2,4-diferrocenyl-1,3,2,4-diathiadiphosphetane 2,4-disulfide {[FcP(μ-S)S]2, FcLR} with dry KF or tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) led to the corresponding potassium and tetrabutylammonium salts of ferrocenyldithiofluorophosphinic acids. Treating potassium ferrocenyldithi...

Three 5,7-pi-extended 8-benzyloxyquinolines, namely 5,7-diphenyl-, 5,7-bis(biphenyl-4-yl)- and 5,7-bis(4-dibenzothiophenyl)-8-benzyloxyquinoline were prepared and investigated as fluorescent pH-probes in nonaqueous solution. Absorption and photoluminescence spectra of the introduced compounds also including the starting material 8-benzyloxy-5,7-dibromoquinoline as well as their N-protonated cou...

2-(Arylsulfonyl)oxetanes have been prepared as new structural motifs of interest for medicinal chemistry. These are designed to fit within fragment space and be suitable for screening in fragment based drug discovery, as well as being suitable for further elaboration or incorporation into drug-like compounds. The oxetane ring is constructed through an efficient C-C bond forming cyclisation whic...

a headspace-solid phase microextraction (hs-spme) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (gc-ms) method has been developed for the simultaneously determination of 20 disinfection by-products (dbps) in water samples from reverse osmosis (ro) membranes. selected compounds belong to different families including: trihalomethanes (thms), halogenated acetonitriles (hans), halogenated nitromethanes ...

A series of boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY) dyes was tested as photosensitisers for light-driven hydrogen evolution in combination with the complex [Pd(PPh3)Cl2]2 as a source for catalytically-active Pd nanoparticles and triethylamine as a sacrificial electron donor. In line with earlier reports, halogenated dyes showed significantly higher hydrogen production activity. All BODIPYs were fully cha...

Halogenated tyrosine transaminase has been purified 30-fold from a sonic extract of rat kidney mitochondria. Purification involves ammonium sulfate fractionation and chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose and hydroxylapatite. The purified enzyme is highly specific for tyrosine analogues with halogen substituents in positions 3 or 3 and 5, for thyroid hormones, and, to a lesser extent, fo...

The Brønsted-acidic ionic liquid 1-methyl-3-(4-sulfobutyl)imidazolium triflate [BMIM(SO(3)H)][OTf] was demonstrated to act efficiently as solvent and catalyst for the halogenation of activated organic compounds with N-halosuccinimides (NXS) under mild conditions with short reaction times. Methyl aryl ketones were converted into α-halo and α,α-dihaloketones, depending on the quantity of NXS used...
