The syntheses and characterization of alkali metal complexes [{VO2L}M(H2O}n] (1 & 2) [M = Na (1), K (2)] of anionic cis-dioxovanadium(V) species (LVO2 ) of the Schiff base 2-hydroxybenzoylhydrazone of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde have been reported. The number of coordinated water molecules in [{VO2L}M(H2O}n] decreases as the charge density of the alkali metal ion decreases (n = 5 for Na and 1 for K)....

Hexane, chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts (100 microg/ml) of Alpinia galanga rhizomes exhibited significant activity in vitro against promastigotes of L. donovani. Twelve compounds namely, methyleugenol (1), p-coumaryl diacetate (2), 1'-acetoxychavicol acetate (3), 1'-acetoxyeugenol acetate (4), trans-p-acetoxycinnamyl alcohol (5), trans-3,4-dimethoxycinnamyl alcohol (6), p-hydroxybenzaldeh...

In the present work a process of catalytic wet air oxidation of lignin obtained from sugar-cane bagasse is developed with the objective of producing vanillin, syringaldehyde and p-hydroxybenzaldehyde in a continuous regime. Palladium supported on -alumina was used as the catalyst. The reactions in the lignin degradation and aldehyde production were described by a kinetic model as a system of co...

D-Xylonic acid belongs to the top 30 biomass-based platform chemicals and represents a promising application of xylose. Until today, Gluconobacter oxydans NL71 is the most efficient microbe capable of fermenting xylose into xylonate. However, its growth is seriously inhibited when concentrated lignocellulosic hydrolysates are used as substrates due to the presence of various degraded compounds ...

Transketolase has significant industrial potential for the asymmetric synthesis of carboncarbon bonds with new chiral centres. Variants evolved on propanal were found previously with nascent activity on polar aromatic aldehydes 3-formylbenzoic acid (3-FBA), 4-formylbenzoic acid (4-FBA), and 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde (3-HBA), suggesting a potential novel route to analogues of chloramphenicol. Here w...

The S385Y/D469T/R520Q variant of E. coli transketolase was evolved previously with three successive smart libraries, each guided by different structural, bioinformatical or computational methods. Substrate-walking progressively shifted the target acceptor substrate from phosphorylated aldehydes, towards a non-phosphorylated polar aldehyde, a non-polar aliphatic aldehyde, and finally a non-polar...

Overexpression of mutant p53 in cancer cell inactivates the pathways to execute apoptosis and cycle arrest. This study aimed synthesize new kardiena derivative compound, 3-carbethoxy-4(3’-chloro-4’-hydroxy)phenyl-but-3-en-2-one, reactivate Characterization synthetic compound employing melting point, IR, EI-MS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR spectra revealed 3-carbethoxy-4(3’-chloro-4’-hydroxy)phenyl-but-3-en-...

We report a simple flow reactor for the selective extraction of target metal ions from an aqueous solution, using passive mixers and liquid-liquid separators. The takes place in two stages. In first stage, are selectively transferred to organic phase containing extractant molecules; and, second acid solution strips regenerates (uncomplexed) molecules, thereby allowing them be recirculated throu...

The title compound (2,2'-(piperazine-1,4-diyl)bis(N'-((E)-5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzylidene) acetohydrazide) (5-ClPAH) was synthesized by reacting 1,4-Piperazinediacetic acid, 1,4-dihydrazide and 5 -Chloro-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde. Mass spectrometry, 1H, 13C-NMR, IR results of the were examined. Many information about physical chemical properties 5-ClPAH can be obtained theoretical calculations. Densi...

Two novel aggregation-induced emission (AIE) active Schiff bases ( P4C12 and P5C12 ) harnessing excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process derived from tetraphenylethylene 4-(dodecyloxy)-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde were reported. exhibits photochromism in original powder crystalline states . In contrast, powder, but totally different photochromic fluorescence properties its two poly...
