2-(4-Chloro-3-methylphenoxy)acetohydrazide (2) derived from ethyl 2-(4-chloro-3-methylphenoxy) acetate (1) was reacted with different aromatic aldehydes to yield N-(substituted benzylidiene)-2-(4-chloro-3-methylphenoxy)acetamide (3a-e). Cyclization of compound (3a-e) with thioglycolic acid yielded 2-(4-chloro-3-methylphenoxy)-N-(4-oxo-2-arylthiazolidin-3-yl) acetamide (4a-e). The newly synthesi...

To elucidate possible reasons for the recalcitrance of 2-chlorotoluene, the metabolism of chloromethylcatechols, formed after dioxygenation and dehydrogenation by Ralstonia sp. strain PS12 tetrachlorobenzene dioxygenase and chlorobenzene dihydrodiol dehydrogenase, was monitored using chlorocatechol dioxygenases and chloromuconate cycloisomerases partly purified from Ralstonia sp. strain PS12 an...

The title compound, C(35)H(31)NO(3), was obtained by the reaction of (S)-benzyl 2-amino-3-(4-hy-droxy-phen-yl)propano-ate and (chloro-methane-tri-yl)tribenzene. The enanti-omer has been assigned by reference to an unchanging chiral centre in the synthetic procedure. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into chains running along the a axis by inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(14)H(11)ClN(2)O(2), displays a trans configuration with respect to the C=N double bond. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 12.8 (3)°. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked through inter-molecular O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π inter-actions, forming a three-dimensional network.

In the title Schiff base compound, C(13)H(9)Cl(2)NO, the mol-ecule displays an E conformation about the imine C=N double bond, with a dihedral angle of 8.09 (11)° between the two benzene rings. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by a single O-H⋯O hydrogen bond, giving one-dimensional chains which extend along (100).
