Reactions of benzoyl pyridine, o-phenylenediamine and anhydrous ZnX2 in methanol afford imine complexes [Zn(L1)X2] (X = Cl, 1; X = Br, 2) in good yields (L1 = (E)-N(1)-(phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methylene)benzene-1,2-diamine). The reduction of 1 with NaBH4 affords (E)-N(1)-(phenyl(pyridine-2-yl)methylene)benzene-1,2-diamine (L2H). The reaction of L2H with [Ru(II)(PPh3)3Cl2] results in the oxidative d...

OBJECTIVES To locate a plant with suitable phytochemicals for use as antimicrobial agents to control multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria as a complementary medicine, without host toxicity as monitored through cultured lymphocytes from human umbilical cord blood. METHODS The methanol crude leaf extract of the plant Woodfordia fruticosa was subjected to antimicrobial assay in vitro with nine pat...

In the title compound, C(14)H(11)BrO(2), an ester formed from the reaction of 4-methyl-phenol with 4-bromo-benzoyl-chloride, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 54.43 (7)°, indicating a twist in the mol-ecule. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O inter-actions link the mol-ecules into supra-molecular layers in the bc plane, and these are connected along the a axis by Br⋯Br contacts [3.6328 (5...

In this study, two new salicylideneaniline derivative compounds which are an isomer of each other have been synthesized and characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) technique, IR spectroscopy, and theoretical method. While (E)-4-(dihydroxyamino)-2-(((4-fluorophenyl)imino) methyl)phenol (1), crystalizes triclinic P-1 space group, (E)-4-(dihydroxyamino)-2-(((3-fluorophenyl)im...

Biotransformation of deuterated-4'-O-methylnorbelladine into alkaloids galanthamine and lycorine in tissue cultures of Leucojum aestivum was demonstrated using HPLC coupled to mass spectrometry. GC-MS screening was also carried to investigate other native and deuterated alkaloids. A total of six labeled alkaloids were identified indicating that 4'-O-methyl-d(3)-norbelladine is incorporated into...

The title Schiff base, C23H27ClN2O adopts the phenol-imine tautomeric form, with an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond, which generates an S(6) ring motif. Three C atoms of the heterocyclic moiety of the hexa-hydro-pyrido-quinoline unit, as well as the two methyl groups bonded to one of these C atoms, are disordered over two set of sites, with anoccupancy ratio of 0.740 (4):0.260 (4).
