Reactions of N,N;-disubstituted hydrazinecarbothioamides 8a-c and substituted thioureidoethylthioureas 9a-c with 2,3,5,6-tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone (chloranil, 10a) and 2,3,5,6-tetrabromo-1,4-benzoquinone (bromanil, 10b) to form N,N;-disubstituted [1,3,4]thiadiazole-2,5-diamines 11a-c, 6,7-dichloro-3-substituted amino-1H-benzo[1,3,4]- thiadiazine-5,8-diones 12a-c, 2,3,7,8-tetrahalothianthrene...

Two candidate attractants, phenol and 1,4-benzoquinone, a synthetic mixture of typical compounds from green-leaf odours [(Z)-3-hexenyl acetate: (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol: benzaldehyde: (E)-2-hexen-1-ol: 1-hexanol; 100:20:10:1:1] and freshly damaged oak leaves were screened for field attractancy in funnel traps in Hungary. Males of two Rhizotrogus spp. (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Melolonthinae), R. aestiv...

The kinetics of phenol oxidation with chlorine dioxide in different solvents (2 methylpropan 1 ol, ethanol, 1,4 dioxane, acetone, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane, heptane, tetrachloromethane, water) was studied by spectrophotometry. In all solvents indicated, the reaction rate is described by an equation of the second order w = k[PhОН]•[ClO2]. The rate constants were measured (at 1...

A poly(A)-binding protein (PABP) with mol wt 29,000 has been purified from chickpea (Cicer arietinum) epicotyl by ammonium sulfate fractionation and Cibacron blue F3-GA chromatography, making a complex with poly(A) and elution of PABP-poly(A) complex at 45 degrees C from oligo d(T)-cellulose. The elution pattern and binding properties show that the purified protein is different from the PABP (m...

• Complex formation of poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) and poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) with molecular iodine has been studied in aqueous solutions. Poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) exhibits greater ability to bind compared Iodophors based on exhibited similar antimicrobial properties. Formation iodophors by interactions dissolved solutions addition potassium iodide ethanol using a range physicochemical techniq...

Cytoplasmic polyadenylation is one mechanism that regulates translation in early animal development. In Xenopus oocytes, polyadenylation of dormant mRNAs, including cyclin B1, is controlled by the cis-acting cytoplasmic polyadenylation element (CPE) and hexanucleotide AAUAAA through associations with CPEB and CPSF, respectively. Previously, we demonstrated that the scaffold protein symplekin co...

The photochemical behaviour of monohalogeno-phenols and -anilines is highly dependent on the position of the halogen on the ring, but most often it is not significantly influenced by the nature of the halogen (Cl, Br, F). Photohydrolysis is the main reaction observed with 3-halogenated and it is almost specific. With 2-halogenated, photohydrolysis and photocontraction of the ring compete, the l...

Chromatin-modifying factors play key roles in transcription, DNA replication and DNA repair. Post-translational modification of these proteins is largely responsible for regulating their activity. The FACT (facilitates chromatin transcription) complex, a heterodimer of hSpt16 and SSRP1, is a chromatin structure modulator whose involvement in transcription and DNA replication has been reported. ...

Abstract Three different reactions were explored leading to the synthesis of various benzofurans. All took place under AcOH catalysis in a one-pot manner. As result, benzoquinone derivatives underwent heteroannulation with either itself or cyclohexanones produce furanylidene-benzofuran benzofuran structures, respectively.
