The recently discovered metal-malonate compounds of formulae Na2M(H2C3O4)2·2H2O with M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni are investigated for their magnetic properties. While the Cu-based material is a weak ferromagnet, all other members present antiferromagnetic interactions. Neutron powder diffraction experiments reveal the establishment of a long range magnetic order at low temperature in the Pbca Shubnikov ...

Evidence has been presented (Saz and Krampitz, 1954) which demonstrates that a-ketoglutarate and citrate are intermediates on the pathway of acetate oxidation by partially lysed cell preparations of Micrococcus lysodeikticu8. Results reported in this publication extend and further substantiate our previous findings. Despite the fact that condensing enzyme can be demonstrated in many aerobic bac...

Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a transcription factor that is known to regulate a variety of cytoprotective genes through the antioxidant response element (ARE). This endogenous response is one of the major pathways by which cells are protected from xenobiotic or innate oxidative insults. Furthermore, in neural systems, astrocyte-specific activation of Nrf2 is known to protect neu...

An improved method for the asymetric alkylation of 3-bromooxindoles with α-arylated malonate esters is described. The asymmetric alkylation demonstrated was achieved up to 70% ee utilizing a copper(II) bis(phosphine) complex.

Allenynes having malonate-based tethers reacted with arylboronic acids in the presence of a rhodium(I) catalyst to sequentially form three carbon-carbon bonds, and arylated bicyclic skeletons were constructed in a stereoselective manner.

The occurrence of multiple herbicide resistant weeds has increased considerably in glyphosate-resistant soybean fields Brazil; however, the mechanisms governing this resistance have not been studied. In its study, target-site and nontarget-site were characterized an Eleusine indica population (R-15) with to acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitors, glyphosate, imazamox, paraquat. Absorption t...

the cycloalkylation of diethyl malonate and ethyl cyanoacetate with alkyl dihalide was investigated by using comminuted potassium carbonate as a base and toluene as a solvent in the presence of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (htmab) as a phase-transfer catalyst, which provided a conventional procedure with the advantage of short reaction period and high product yield. the factors influencin...

The reaction of [60]fullerene with dimethyl malonate and diethyl malonate in the presence of manganese(III) acetate dihydrate (Mn(OAc)3.2H2O) for 20 min afforded singly bonded [60]fullerene dimers 1a and 1b in a 1,4-addition pattern. When the reaction time was extended to 1 h, 1,4-bisadducts 2a and 2b were obtained. Unsymmetrical 1,4-adduct 5 and C2 symmetrical 1,16-bisadduct 6 were obtained wh...

The key intermediate, diethyl 2-acetylamino-2-(2-(4-octanoylphenyl)ethyl)propane-1,3-dioate (13), for the immunomodulatory agent FTY720 (2: fingolimod) was synthesized via Michael addition of diethyl(acetylamino)malonate (6) to 4-octanoylstyrene (12).
