Acetohydroxamic acid reacts with the enzyme-CoA form of succinyl-CoA:3-ketoacid coenzyme A transferase to give an inactive product with a rate constant of 860 M-1 min-1 at pH 8.1, 25 degrees C. The reaction is reversible in the presence of coenzyme A and has an equilibrium constant of 0.040. The product is an anhydride that is an analog of the intermediate that has been postulated in the normal...

In the present work, suitably functionalized arylsydnones were used to synthesize a variety of 4-acyl-sydnones and diacyl sydnones, both as potential precursors to novel sydnoquinolines. The approach to the diacyl species is based on the discovery that activated sydnones brominate in both the 4 position of the sydnone ring and on the phenyl ring. Thus, it seemed likely that Friedel-Crafts react...

Photochemically inactive diarylethene derivatives having a N-(O-hydroxyphenyl) group underwent photochromic reaction when they were esterified by the addition of acetic anhydride.

The complete mol-ecule of the title compound, C(26)H(20)N(2)O(3), is generated by crystallographic twofold symmetry, with the central O atom lying on the rotation axis. The conformation is stabilized by an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond. The dihedral angle between the inner and outer aromatic ring planes is 61.12 (5)°.
