A simple set of protocols for the controlled elaboration of anilines is reported allowing access to a diverse array of aminophenols, aminoarylsulfonates, alkylated anilines, and aminoanilines in 29-95% yield in a single laboratory operation from easily isolable, bench-stable N,N-dialkylaniline N-oxides. The introduction of new C-O, C-C, and C-N bonds on the aromatic ring is made possible by a t...

In a previous paper (2) it was demonstrated mat nitrogen mustards caused a considerable decrease in the viscosity of sodium thymonucleate solutions. The present work was undertaken to determine whether this effect was due to an interaction of the nitrogen mustards with thymonucleate or some of its constituents. An interaction between nitrogen mustards and thymonucleate was demonstrated but coul...

Large-scale reductions in the ozone content of the middle and upper stratosphere over the polar cap regions were associated with the major solar proton event of 4 August 1972. This reduction, which was determined from measurements with the backscattered ultraviolet experiment on the Nimbus 4 satellite, is interpreted as being due to the catalytic destruction of ozone by odd-nitrogen compounds (...

The identification of odor-active sulfur and nitrogen compounds formed during the processing of dry fermented sausages was the objective of this study. In order to elucidate their possible origin, free amino acids (FAAs) were also determined. The volatile compounds present in the dry sausages were extracted using solvent assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) and monitored by one and two-dimensiona...

Removal of sulfur and nitrogen compounds from national commercial diesel through adsorption onto activated carbon was studied. Brazilian commercial activated carbon samples (AC) were modified by acid oxidation and, alternatively, were impregnated with palladium chloride. Modified carbon samples showed a significant increase in the quantity of acid sites, particularly those AC submitted to impre...

The synthesis of α-aminosilanes by a highly enantio- and regioselective copper-catalyzed hydroamination of vinylsilanes is reported. The system employs Cu-DTBM-SEGPHOS as the catalyst, diethoxymethylsilane as the stoichiometric reductant, and O-benzoylhydroxylamines as the electrophilic nitrogen source. This hydroamination reaction is compatible with differentially substituted vinylsilanes, thu...

In this work, we describe the genome of Lysinibacillus sp. strain A1, which was isolated from tropical soil. Analysis of its genome sequence shows the presence of a gene encoding for a putative peptidase responsible for nitrogen compounds.

Ethyl 4,4-difluoro-4-phenoxyacetoacetate was obtained and studied as a precursor to new heterocyclic compounds. 6-Hydroxypyrimidine, 1,3-dihydro-1,5- benzodiazepin-2-one, quinolin-2-one and 6-hydroxypyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine derivatives containing phenoxydifluoromethyl groups were synthesized. These results make it possible to introduce aryloxydifluoromethyl substituents for the design of biologi...
