Metallacyclic neutral and ionic yttrium alkyl complexes coordinated by a dianionic ene-diamido ligand ([2,6-iPr2C6H3NC(Me)=C(Me)NC6H3iPr2-2,6] = L(1)) [L(1)]Y(CH2SiMe3)(THF)2 (2), {[L(1)]Y(CH2SiMe3)2}(-){Li(THF)4}(+) (3), [L(1)]Y(OEt2)(μ-Me)2Li(TMEDA) (4) were synthesized using a salt-metathesis approach starting from the related chloro complex [L(1)]Y(THF)2(μ-Cl)2Li(THF)2 (1) in 70, 85 and 72%...

Mycobacterium smegmatis PTCC 1307 (CIP 73.26) was used as a microbial agent to produce androsta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione (ADD) and androst-4-ene-3,17-dione, two useful precursors in the synthesis of steroid drugs. The side chain of cholesterol, as the substrate, was selectively cleaved in the presence of five enzyme inhibitors. An intermediate structure with intact side chain, cholest-4-ene-3-one, ...

Two new tetracyclic triterpenoid trilocularol A and trilocularol A 3-glucoside and one pentacyclic triterpenoid tirlocularoside A were isolated from Corchorus trilocularis L., their structure were elucidated as 3beta,6alpha,16alpha,20(S),27-pentahydroxydammar-24(Z)-ene (1), 3beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy-6alpha,16alpha,20(S),27-tetrahydroxydammar-24(Z)-ene (2) and 2alpha,3beta,19alpha,30-tetrahydrox...

Phytochemical studies on the methanolic extract of the leaves of Garcinia griffithii (Guttiferae) afforded two known xanthones derivatives, 1,3,5,6-Tetrahydroxy-7-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)xanthone (1) and Rubraxanthone (2). The structures of these xanthones derivatives were determined on the basis of extensive spectroscopic data interpretation and comparison with data reported in the literature. In ...

The seco-steroid hormone, 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [1,25(OH)(2)D(3)] inhibits proliferation and induces differentiation of malignant cells including those of the hematopoietic system. The 24-oxo metabolite of 1,25(OH)(2)D(3) also has prominent antiproliferative activities against various cancer cells. We chemically synthesized five novel 24-oxo vitamin D(3) analogues and evaluated their ...

The title compound, C30H18ClNO, is a product of the condensation reaction of acenaphthyl-ene-1,2-dione and 5'-chloro-1,1':3',1''-terphenyl-4'-amine. The acenaphthyl-ene fragment and two terminal phenyl rings are rotated relative to the central benzene ring by 72.2 (3), 43.2 (3) and 41.2 (3)°, respectively. This mol-ecular conformation is supported by weak C-H⋯π inter-actions. In the crystal, mo...

The seven-membered ring in the title compound, C(20)H(19)N(3)O(3), adopts a boat conformation with the two phenyl-ene C atoms representing the stern and the methyl-ene C atom the prow. The dihedral angle between the best plane through the seven-membered ring (r.m.s deviation = 0.358 Å) and the phenyl substituent is 55.8 (1)°. The two rings at either ends of the ethyl chain are staggered [N-CH(2...
