Using a molecular jet Fourier transform spectrometer, the microwave spectrum of E-3-penten-2-one, also called methyl propenyl ketone, was recorded in range from 2.0 to 26.5 GHz. Two conformers, antiperiplanar (ap) and synperiplanar (sp), could be identified. Complicated splitting patterns arising due internal rotation acetyl groups resolved, all measured rotational transitions were fitted measu...

Objective(s): Allylbenzenes have been recently developed as inhibitors of lipoxygenases. They decrease peroxidation activity via mimicking 1,4-unsaturated bonds of fatty acids by their allyl portion. We designed and synthesized new derivatives of allyl benzenes (6a-f) with isopropoxy and amide substituents at ortho and meta positions towards allyl group, respectively. ...

5-Alkylcytidine nucleosides were synthesized via a photocoupling reaction. 5-Propylcytidine and 5-propyl-2-deoxycytidine have been prepared through the reduction of 5-(3-propenyl)cytidine and its 2'-deoxy derivative, which in turn were prepared by photoirradiation of cytidine or 2'-deoxycytidine in the presence of 3-iodopropene. 5-(2-Hydroxyethyl)cytidine and its derivatives were obtained from ...

Although lipid phosphoric acid mediators such as lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) are now recognized widely as intercellular signaling molecules, the medicinal chemistry of these mediators is poorly developed. With the goal of achieving a better understanding of the structure activity relationships in LPA, we have synthesized and tested a series of LPA analogs that lack the 2-hydroxyl moiety. Our se...

The title compound, C(17)H(16)N(2)S(2), a dithio-carbazate derivative, adopts an EE configuration with respect to the C=C and C=N double bonds of the propenyl-idine group. The 3-phenyl-prop-2-enyl-idene and dithio-carbazate fragments lie essentially in the same plane, with a maximum deviation from that plane of 0.074 (2) Å, while the dihedral angle between the 3-phenyl-prop-2-enyl-idene and the...
