In the title compound, C36H28O4, the 1-naphthoyl groups at the 1- and 8-positions of the central 2,7-dieth-oxy-naphthalene ring system are aligned almost anti-parallel and make a dihedral angle of 76.59 (4)°. The dihedral angles between the central 2,7-dieth-oxy-naphthalene ring system and the terminal naphthalene ring systems are 86.48 (4) and 83.97 (4)°. In the crystal, C-H⋯π inter-actions be...

The title compound, C(29)H(20)O(3), adopts an 'S' conformation with a dihedral angle of 68.5 (2)° beween the two acetone planes. The central phenyl ring forms dihedral angles of 83.8 (4) and 84.5 (4)° with the naphthalene and meth-oxy-substituted naphthalene mean planes, respectively. Both carbonyl-group O atoms deviate significantly from the naphthalene moiety and the meth-oxy-substituted naph...

Pseudomonas putida G7 exhibits chemotaxis to naphthalene, but the molecular basis for this was not known. A new gene, nahY, was found to be cotranscribed with meta cleavage pathway genes on the NAH7 catabolic plasmid for naphthalene degradation. The nahY gene encodes a 538-amino-acid protein with a membrane topology and a C-terminal region that resemble those of chemotaxis transducer proteins. ...

Three AQ-based materials are designed by incorporating acetamide and tetraalkylammonium ionic groups. The solubility stability enhanced, the NARFB with a two-electron transfer process shows high cycling performance.

The kinetics of the lethal action of metronidazole and the formation of acetamide have been studied in a strain of Bacteroides fragilis which is relatively resistant to metronidazole. As with a susceptible strain of B. fragilis, the data are consistent with a model in which a labile intermediate in metronidazole metabolism interacts either with water to form acetamide or with a bacterium to cau...

In the crystal structure of the title compound (N4CPSDCAA), C(8)H(6)Cl(3)NO(3)S, the conformations of the N-H and C=O bonds in the SO(2)-NH-CO-C group are trans to each other, similar to those observed in 2,2-dichloro-N-(phenyl-sulfon-yl)-acetamide (NPSDCAA), 2,2-dichloro-N-(4-methyl-phenyl-sulfon-yl)acetamide (N4MPSDCAA) and N-(4-chloro-phenyl-sulfon-yl)-2,2,2-trimethyl-acetamide (N4CPSTMAA), ...
