Roll over transition metals-triarylamines are redox-catalysts, enabling olefin difunctionalization and C–H functionalization reactions by activating benzoyl peroxide.

Starting from allyl 2-O-acetyl-3-O-benzyl-α-l-rhamnopyranoside (3), allyl (2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-β-d-galactopyranosyl)-(1→4)-2-O-acetyl-3-O-benzyl-α-l-rhamnopyranoside (5) was synthesized under Helferich conditions. Module 5 was converted to 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-β-d-galactopyranosyl-(1→4)-2-O-acetyl-3-O-benzyl-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl bromide (8) which was then coupled with methyl (allyl 2,3-di...

Topical retinoids offer highly effective treatment for both inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne, with tazarotene demonstrating greater efficacy than other topical retinoids. A multicenter, double-blind, randomized, parallel-group trial has been performed to evaluate whether the adjunctive use of clindamycin/benzoyl peroxide could enhance the efficacy of tazarotene still further. Patients wit...

Benzyl beta-D-galactofuranoside was efficiently obtained from 1,2,3,5,6-penta-O-benzoyl-alpha,beta-D-galactofuranose, via benzyl 2,3,5,6-tetra-O-benzoyl-beta-D-galactofuranoside. Conditions for the O-debenzylation were investigated in order to evaluate the synthetic application of the benzyl group as an anomeric protector of a galactofuranose moiety in synthetic strategies involving galactofura...

In this study new 2-(4-methyl-phenoxymethyl)benzoyl thioureas, N-[(R-amino)thioxomethyl]-2-[(4methylphenoxy)methyl]benzamides, were synthesized by the reaction of 2-(4-methyl-phenoxymethyl)benzoyl isothiocyanate with different amines. Structures of the new compounds were identified by spectroscopic technique and also confirmed by elemental analysis. The compounds will be screened for their in v...

Microorganims of the bovine rumen fluid biocatalyzed the reduction of nitro-compound substrates to yield the respective amines. This enzymatic process, using ruminal contents, has rarely been reported in association with the bioreduction of nitro groups. The biotransformation reactions catalyzed by this system were dependent of both the electronic characteristics and the area/volume of the nitr...

oxidation of different types of 1,4-dihydropyridines with diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (dpp) and benzoyl peroxide (bz2o2) as free radical oxidizing agents to pyridine derivatives is reported and a mechanism for this oxidation is also proposed.

We have performed a series of first-principles electronic structure calculations to examine the reaction pathways and the corresponding free energy barriers for the ester hydrolysis of protonated cocaine in its chair and boat conformations. The calculated free energy barriers for the benzoyl ester hydrolysis of protonated chair cocaine are close to the corresponding barriers calculated for the ...

In the title compound, C(14)H(12)ClNO, the ortho-Cl atom in the benzoyl ring is positioned syn to the C=O bond. The benzoyl and aniline benzene rings are tilted relative to each other by 82.8 (1)°. In the crystal, inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into infinite chains running along the c-axis direction.

Two new sesquiterpene alkaloids, 1beta-hydroxy-2beta,5alpha,11-triacetoxy-7beta-nicotinoyl-8beta-benzoyl-dihydroagarofuran, and 1beta,5alpha,11-triacetoxy-7beta-nicotinoyl-8beta-benzoyl-dihydroagarofuran were isolated from the xylem of Tripterygium wilfordii, together with six known compounds. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic studies.
