This paper reports the synthesis of nitrogen containing heterocyclic compounds such as quinoxalines (5-7), imidazoles (8, 9,10,11), aminothiazole (12), aminooxazole (13), aminoimidazole (14) and benzothiazine (17) from the reaction with unsymmetrical diketone 4, 3 and 4a respectively. The aforementioned compounds with 4-pyridyl,4fluorophenyl groups have different positions in their ring skeleto...

The chemical oxidation polymerization of m-phenylenediamine (MPD) by ammonium persulfate (APS) at room temperature results in the formation of poly(m-phenylenediamine) (PMPD) microparticles. The subsequent treatment of such microparticles with an aqueous AgNO(3) solution produces Ag nanoparticle (AgNP)-decorated PMPD microparticles. It was found that as-formed AgNPs exhibited remarkable catalyt...

Phenylenediamine bis(phenolate) binds in the reduced dianionic form to titanium and zirconium alkoxides giving either mononuclear or bridging dinuclear complexes depending on the metal precursors; the fluxional mononuclear titanium complex is found to exhibit extremely high activity in polymerisation of rac-lactide in the melt.

To maximize the utilization of its single-atom thin nature, a facile scheme to fabricate graphene multilayer films via a layer-by-layer self-assembled process was presented. The structure of multilayer films was constructed by covalently bonding graphene oxide (GO) using p-phenylenediamine (PPD) as a covalent cross-linking agent. The assembly process was confirmed to be repeatable and the struc...

In the intracellular microenvironment of active muscle tissue, high rates of respiration are maintained at near-limiting oxygen concentrations. The respiration of isolated heart mitochondria is a hyperbolic function of oxygen concentration and half-maximal rates were obtained at 0.4 and 0.7 microM O(2) with substrates for the respiratory chain (succinate) and cytochrome c oxidase [N,N,N,N',N'-t...

BACKGROUND Simultaneous contact allergies to Disperse Orange 1, 4-nitroaniline and p-aminodiphenylamine (PADPA), as well as to other disperse azo dyes and to p-phenylenediamine (PPD), have been reported. Cross-reactivity is one of the possible explanations for simultaneous reactions between PPD and disperse azo dyes. Some metabolites from the azo reduction of these disperse azo dyes could be se...
