In the title mol-ecule, C6H8N2, the endocyclic angles are in the range 118.43 (9)-122.65 (10)°. The mol-ecular skeleton is planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.007 Å). One of the two amino H atoms is involved in an N-H⋯N hydrogen bond, forming an inversion dimer, while the other amino H atom participates in N-H⋯π inter-actions between the dimers, forming layers parallel to (100).

Background and Purpose: The present study aimed to evaluate the consistency with which physiotherapists apply manual hyperinflation to a test lung using the AirViva-2 or Mapleson-B resuscitation circuit, and their ability to modify the technique as pulmonary characteristics change. Method: A quasi-experimental, randomized, repeatedmeasures design was used to study 16 volunteer physiotherapists ...

Straightforward conversion of (+)-6,8-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydro-3- undecylisocoumarin (3) to the title isocoumarin was carried out. Hydrolytic ring opening of (3) afforded the hydroxy acid (4) which was immediately oxidized to keto acid (5) using chromic acid, Cyclodehydration of (5) afforded the 6,8- dimethoxy-3-undecylisocoumarin (6) which on selective demethylation of 8- methoxy group furni...
