A series of adamantane functionalized diaza-lariat ethers 1–6 have been prepared and alkali metal picrate extraction profiles determined. The ability of aza-crown ethers 1–6 to extract the alkali metal picrates was compared with that of diaza-18-crown-6 (7) and N,N '-dibenzodiaza-18-crown-6 (8). Na and K transport across bulk liquid membrane was also measured. The results of alkali metal cation...

MP2/6-311++G(d,p) calculations have been carried out to investigate the conformation, protonation and the hydrogen bonding interactions with water of several halogenated ethers (CH(3)OCH(2)Cl, CH(2)ClOCH(2)Cl, CH(3)OCHCl(2), CHFClOCHF(2)). The optimized geometries, ν(CH) harmonic vibrational frequencies and the SAPT decomposition of the interaction energies are studied. The interaction with one...

" When you can't run anymore, you crawl, and when you can't do that, you find someone to carry you "-Joss Whedon's Firefly ep.12-Till alla er som hjälpt till att bära i List of papers This thesis is based on the following papers, referred to in the text by their roman numerals, I-IV: I Lindqvist D., Dahlgren E., and Asplund L. (2017) Biosynthesis of hydroxylated polybrominated diphenyl ethers a...

In this review, we describe direct and indirect photochemical approaches that have been developed for the preparation of phthalimide- and naphthalimide-based, lariat-type crown ethers. The direct route utilizes a strategy in which nitrogen-linked side chains containing polyethoxy-tethered phthalimides and naphthalimides, possessing terminal α-trialkylsilyl groups, are synthesized utilizing conc...

The aim of this study was to synthesize a series of ethylene glycol (EG) ethers and quinoline hybrids of the antimalarial drug artemisinin and to evaluate their antimalarial activity in vitro against Plasmodium falciparum strains. The ethers were synthesized in a one-step process by coupling ethylene glycol (EG) moieties of various chain lengths to carbon 10 of dihydroartemisinin, while the art...

The lipophilic ̄avonoids in leaf and ̄ower of Tanacetum parthenium and T. vulgaris have been compared. While those of T. parthenium are methyl ethers of the ̄avonols 6-hydroxykaempferol and quercetagetin, the surface ̄avonoids of T. vulgare are methyl ethers of the ̄avones scutellarein and 6-hydroxyluteolin. Apigenin and two ̄avone glucuronides are surprisingly present in glandular trichomes on...

Considerable debate surrounds the sources of oxygenated polybrominated diphenyl ethers (O-PBDEs) in wildlife as to whether they are naturally produced or result from anthropogenic industrial activities. Natural radiocarbon ((14)C) abundance has proven to be a powerful tool to address this problem as recently biosynthesized compounds contain contemporary (i.e. modern) amounts of atmospheric radi...

Title of Thesis: ENVIRONMENTAL FATE OF POLYBROMINATED DIPHENYL ETHERS IN AGRICULTURAL SOILS WHICH HAVE RECEIVED BIOSOLIDS APPLICATION Natasha Almeida Andrade, Master of Science, 2008 Directed By: Professor Alba Torrents Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Dr. Laura McConnell U.S. Department of Agriculture Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are used as additives in consumer...

4'-(2,6,6-Trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-3'-buten-2'-ketoxime-N-O-alkyl ethers have been synthesized starting from alpha-ionone, separated into their E and Z isomers and characterized on the basis of (1)H-NMR and mass spectra.

Chloralhydrate of the acids, which is separated from sea oils, have been synthesized and its physical-chemical properties researched accordingly. After this, it was possible to receive a series aromatic ethers in result interaction chloralhydrate with phenol, benzyl alcohol, α-naphthol additionally an optimal condition for current process has determined as well. It also that reaction acylation ...
