Animals perceive and discriminate among a vast array of sensory cues in their environment. Both genetic and environmental factors contribute to individual variation in behavioral responses to these cues. Here, we asked to what extent sequence variants in six Drosophila melanogaster odorant receptor (Or) genes are associated with variation in behavioral responses to benzaldehyde by sequencing al...

3,4-Dihydropyrimidinones of curcumin were synthesized in excellent yield by multi-component one-pot condensation of curcumin, substituted aromatic aldehydes and urea/thiourea under solvent free conditions using SnCl(2)·2H(2)O catalyst. All the synthesized compounds have been characterized by IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, Mass spectra as well as elemental analyses. The synthesized compounds 4a-n were...

Article history: Received on: 08/11/2014 Revised on: 22/11/2014 Accepted on: 18/12/2014 Available online: 29/12/2014 A series of new thiopyrimidine derivatives were synthesized via the reaction of ethyl cyanoacetate with thiourea and the appropriate aldehydes namely, 3-methoxy-benzaldehyde, 2, 5-dimethoxy-benzaldehyde and 3,5dimethoxy-benzaldehyde to give the corresponding pyridine thiones 1a-c...

The title compound, C(30)H(26)N(4)O(4), was synthesized by the reaction of benzyl dihydrazone and 2-hydr-oxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde in ethanol. In the crystal strucutre, the mol-ecule is centrosymmetric. The structure displays two symmetry-related intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.

Ben-Gurion International Airport operates 24 hours at day for landing airplanes. The areas in vicinity of Ben-Gurion International Airport are very populated. The noise of the landing airplanes exceeds the common thresholds. This paper examines the current situation and suggests a possible solution.

The title compound, C(9)H(11)N(3)S, was prepared by reacting 4-methyl-benzaldehyde with thio-semicarbazide. An intra-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bond helps to establish the observed mol-ecular conformation. The crystal packing is realized by inter-molecular N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds.

The rotational spectra of anisole and of benzaldehyde were investigated in supersonic expansion at frequencies up to 41 GHz, and at room temperature in the millimetre-wave region, from 170 to 330 GHz. Accurate spectroscopic constants for the parent isotopomers in the ground vibrational state and for the first excited torsional state were determined for both molecules. The supersonic expansion s...

HEN extracts of wild-type Drosophila are electrophoresed on agar gels and the gels stained with a tetrazolium solution containing benzaldehyde, a formazan band is formed at a location not identical to the xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) band ( COURTRIGHT 1966a). This was a surprising observation since benzaldehyde has been reported to serve as a substrate for XDH (GLASSMAN and MITCHELL 1959a). Sin...

The hydrodynamics of a three-phase micro-packed bed reactor and its effect on catalysed benzyl alcohol oxidation with pure oxygen were studied in a silicon–glass microstructured reactor. The microreactor was operated at 120 °C and 1 barg and contained a channel with a 300 μm 600 μm cross-section, packed with 1 wt% Au–Pd/TiO2 catalyst, 65 μm in average diameter. Improvements in the conversion of...
