The hamster embryo cell bioassay has been used to study the effect of metal salts on morphological transformation. A synergistic enhancement of the transformation frequency was found for the combined treatment with organic carcinogens [benzo(a)pyrene, N-hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene, and 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide] and nickel sulfate, cadmium acetate, or potassium chromate. Chromic chloride and z...

The title compound, C(16)H(12)O(5)S, was prepared by oxidation of 2-methyl-5,6-methyl-ene-di-oxy-3-phenyl-sulfanyl-1-benzo-furan with 3-chloro-peroxy-benzoic acid. The phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 83.64 (4)° with the mean plane of the 5,6-(methyl-ene-di-oxy)-benzo-furan fragment. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-H⋯π inter-actions between a benzene H atom of the 5,6-(methyl-ene-...

The occurrence and levels of benzo[a]pyrene in various heat-treated foods from China were evaluated by high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection. In a total of 119 samples, 105 were found to contain benzo[a]pyrene at levels of 0.03 to 19.75 μg/kg. The benzo[a]pyrene contents in 12 animal source foods were higher than the Chinese maximum permissible level in food (5 μg/kg) an...

The macrocyclic ligands 2,3,5,6-Bis{3’-bromo-5’-tert-butyl benzo-5-phenyl benzo} 12C3 (L1), 2,3,5,6-bis{3’-bromo-5’-tert butyl-benzo-5’-phenyl-benzo}15C4 (L2), 2,3,5,6-bis{3’-bromo-5’-tert butyl-benzo-5’-phenyl-benzo}18C5 (L3) have been synthesized and their alkaline metal compounds with NaClO4∙H2O and KClO4  have ...

theoretical study of the electronic structure, and nonlinear optical properties (nlo) analysis of 12-crown-4were done using density functional theory (dft) evaluations at the b3lyp/6-311g (d,p) level of theory. the optimized structure is nonlinear compound as indicated from the dihedral angles were presented. the calculated ehomo and elumo energies of 12-crown-4 (12cn4) can be used to explain t...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(8)H(12)N(+)·ClO(4) (-.)C(12)H(24)O(6), contains one half of the cationic [(C(2)H(5)-C(6)H(4)-NH(3))(18-crown-6)](+) moiety and one half of the ClO(4) (-) anion. Two O atoms of the crown ether, four C atoms and the N atom of the ethylanilinium unit and the Cl and two O atoms of the anion lie on a mirror plane. In the crystal structure, the -NH(3) (+) ...

The fjord-region diol-epoxides of benzo(c)phenanthrene combine high mutagenic and carcinogenic activity with low chemical reactivity. To study whether this is a unique property of these compounds or a more general characteristic of fjord-region diol-epoxides, we have synthesized the anti- and syn-diastereomers of r-9,t-10-dihydroxy-11,12-oxy-9,10,11,12-tetrahydrobenzo(c)chrysene and r-11-t-12-d...

Alkali metal triphenylsilyls [Li(12-crown-4)SiPh3]·(thf)0.5 (2), [Na(15-crown-5)SiPh3]·(thf)0.5 (3) and [K(18-crown-6)SiPh3(thf)] (4) were synthesized using 1,1,1-trimethyl-2,2,2-triphenyldisilane (Ph3SiSiMe3) and isolated in high yields. Solid state structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. These alkali metal silyls catalyzed the regioselective hydrosilylation of 1,1-diph...
