The title compound, C(18)H(24)I(2), has an adamantanoid structure with tetra-hedral cages having four C atoms lying on the same plane [(I-)C-C-C-C(-I) torsion angle = 0°]. The plane is extended by the two I atoms, each having a deviation of 1.0 (6) Å [C-C-C-I torsion angle = 178.9 (4)°]. The central C-C bond connecting the two quaternary carbons seems enlarged [1.593 (9) Å] in comparison to the...

Organocatalytic asymmetric Michael reactions of fluorinated nucleophiles with nitroolefins catalyzed by Cinchona alkaloid-derived thiourea catalysts generated the desired Michael products containing vicinal fluorinated quaternary and tertiary chiral centers with exceptional enantioselectivity.

In this study, a variety of 3, 4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones derivatives were synthesized via three-component Biginelli reaction. The quaternary ammonium- treated clay -catalyzed process proved to be simple, efficient, and environmentally friendly.

Four cubic compounds are reported that contain the supertetrahedral cluster [M(4)Sn(4)S(17)](10)(-) where M = Mn, Fe, Co, Zn. The cluster features a central quadruply bridging sulfide ion (mu(4)-S) that holds together four divalent M atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement. This core is capped with four tridentate [SnS(4)](4)(-) fragments to complete the structure.

MCM-41 mesoporous silica is synthesized based on a self assembly method, using a quaternary ammonium template, CTAB for the adsorption of sulfur compounds from model oil (1.0 mmol/l DBT in dodecane solution). Then the adsorption capability of MCM-41 assembled on the surface of bacterium Rhodococcus erythropolis IGTS8 is examined regarding the improvement of the biodesulfurization process of...

Derivatization of peptides as quaternary ammonium salts (QAS) is a promising method for sensitive detection by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (Cydzik et al. J. Pept. Sci. 2011, 17, 445-453). The peptides derivatized by QAS at their N-termini undergo fragmentation according to the two competing mechanisms - charge remote (ChR) and charge directed (ChD). The absence of mobile pr...

The aim of this study was to examine the presence of genes responsible for resistance to quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) and the association of qac genes with class 1 integrons in Proteus mirabilis isolated from cooked meat products. A total of 52 P. mirabilis isolates (29.2%) were detected from 178 samples, and their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of benzalkonium chloride (BC) r...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effectiveness of a topically applied emulsion of an analgesic ammonium solution for the temporary treatment of pain associated with arthritis, tendinitis and bursitis. DESIGN 100 subjects in a single center, presenting with chronic pain associated with arthritis, tendinitis, or bursitis trialed against placebo in a double-blind cross-over protocol. MAIN OUTCOME ...
