The heterocyclic ring of the title compound, C9H7BrO2, obtained by bromination of 4-chromanone with copper bromide, adopts a half-chair conformation. The supramol-ecular structure is governed by a weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bond. There is also π-π stacking between symmetry-related benzene rings; the centroid-centroid distance is 3.9464 (18), the perpendicular distance between the rings is 3.4703 (11) ...

O estudo de Trattinnickia burserifolia levou ao isolamento dos triterpenos conhecidos ursanos α-amirenona, α-amirina, 3-epi-α-amirina, 3α,16β-diidroxiurs-12-eno; oleananos β-amirenona, βamirina, 3-epi-β-amirina, 3α,16β-diidroxiolean-12-eno; tirucalanos ácidos 3α-hidroxitirucal-8,24dien-21-óico, 3α-hidroxitirucal-7,24-dien-21-óico, e 3-oxotirucal-8,24-dien-21-óico; damaranos dammarenediol-II e 3...

Caenorhabditis elegans possesses a unique sterol methylation pathway not reported to occur in any other organism and also removes the C-24 ethyl group of sitosterol (a plant sterol). This nematode produced substantial quantities of 4 alpha-methyl-5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-3 beta-ol and smaller amounts of lophenol from dietary cholesterol, desmosterol or sitosterol. When C. elegans was propagated...

Ternary copper(II) complexes containing bi and tridentate polyamine ligands, viz. [Cu(dien)(en)](ClO4)2 (1), [Cu(dien)(temed)](ClO4)2 (2) and [Cu(pmdt)(temed)](ClO4)2 (3) where dien = diethylenetriamine, en = ethylenediamine, temed = N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine and pmdt = N,N,N′,N′,N′′-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic...

Five glycerol derivatives (1-5) and three sterols (6-8) were isolated from the EtOH extraction of the brown alga of Sargassum parvivesiculosum. On the basis of spectroscopic methods, their structures were elucidated as 1,3-di-O-[2',2'-di-(p-phenylene) isopropylidene] glycerol (1), (2S)-1-O-heptatriacontanoyl glycerol (2), (2S)-1,2-di-O-palmitoyl-3-O-(6-sulpho-alpha-D-quinovopyranosyl) glycerol ...

Fifteen novel glycyrrhetinic acid derivatives containing a nitrogen heterocycle at C-30 and with different A-ring substituents were designed and synthesized. All of these derivatives have improved antiproliferative effects against human HL-60 leukemia cells. Compounds with a cyano-enone functionality on the A-ring exhibit greater growth inhibitory effects, compared to those with a 2-hydroxymeth...

Muurola-4,10(14)-dien-3-one (1), 10-O-acetyl-15-oxo-alpha-cadinol (2), 15-hydroxy-alpha-cadinol (3), 4alpha-hydroxy-5beta-ethoxy-epi-cubenol (4), and 4alpha-hydroxy-5beta-acetoxy-epi-cubenol (5), five new bicyclic sesquiterpenes, have been isolated from the heartwood of Chamaecyparis obtusa var. formosana along with the known compounds epi-cubenol, T-cadinol, T-muurolol, delta-cadinol, and alph...

In the title compound, C(27)H(20)ClNO, the quinoline ring forms a dihedral angle of 62.53 (5)° with the substituent benzene ring. In the crystal, inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl inter-actions link the mol-ecules into chains along the b axis. Inter-molecular C-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds further consolidate the structure into a three-dimensional network. The unit cell contains four solvent-accessible vo...
