The kinetics of the thermal decomposition reaction of cis-6-phenyl-5,6-(2phenylpropyliden)-3,3-pentamethylene-1,2,4-trioxacyclohexane (Ia) were investigated in benzene and methanol solutions in the temperature and concentration ranges of 353.3 – 413.2 K and (1.1 – 13.1)x10 M, respectively. First-order rate constant values were obtained for up to at least ca. 20% conversions of that cyclic perox...

The synthesis of two new -aminophosphonic acids, namely (2S*,3aS*,7aS*)and (2R*,3aS*,7aS*)-octahydroindole-2phosphonic acids, is described. They are analogues of phosphoproline bearing a cyclohexane ring fused to the pyrrolidine moiety. The ring junction presents a cis stereochemistry in both cases, whereas the two compounds differ in the relative orientation of the cyclohexane and phosphonate...

Highly regioselective (3 + 2) cycloadditions of (trifluoromethanesulfonyloxy)benzynes [(triflyloxy)benzynes] with 1,3-dipoles followed by cross-coupling reactions provided multisubstituted benzo-fused heterocycles. The triflyloxy group at the 3-position of benzynes, and even that at the remote 4-position, greatly affected the regiocontrol of the cycloaddition. These groups also served to instal...

Expression patterns of orthologous genes are often conserved, even between distantly related organisms, suggesting that once established, developmental programs can be stably maintained over long periods of evolutionary time. Because many orthologous transcription factors are also functionally conserved, one possible model to account for homologous gene expression patterns, is conservation of s...

4-Pentenoxyl radicals sharing two or more carbon atoms with a cycloalkane cyclize in a predictable manner stereoselectively and regioselectively to afford in solutions of bromotrichloromethane cycloalkyl-fused or -bridged 2-bromomethyltetrahydrofurans in up to 95% yield. Stereoselectivity in alkenoxyl radical ring closures arises from cumulative steric effects. The substituent positioned the cl...

Increasing the number of meso-methine carbons porphyrin has led to a creation series vinylogous expanded porphyrins, while introduction an ortho-phenylene-unit as pyrrole-connecting two-carbon bridge usually leads prevention effective macrocyclic conjugation. Cyclopentene can serve conjugative increase conjugation owing its cis-geometry. In this work, ortho-phenylene-cyclopentene-bridged tetrap...

adenocarcinoma in situ is one of the premalignant lesions of the cervix and its incidence is believed to be increasing while the pathogenesis of the disease is not clearly understood. management of adenocarcinoma in situ (ais) unlike carcinoma in situ (cis) has not been clearly described in the current literature. here we describe conservative management and serial  olposcopy of two pregnant wo...

tooth fusion is a developmental anomaly characterized by the :union: between the dentin and/or enamel of at least two separately developing teeth. the fusion of posterior teeth is an uncommon occurrence. in this article, we report a rare case of unilateral fusion of a mandibular second molar with a paramolar. carious exposure mandated endodontic treatment. the unusual morphology and complex roo...
