1HE GROWING CLINICAL interest in the action and metabolism of the catechol amines makes it highly desirable to re-evaluate existing methods for the quantitative determination of these substances in body fluids. In 1955 Persky (1) reviewed the subject, and, on the whole, his conclusion is still valid that the fluorometric determination of the catechol amines in body fluids is the most practical ...

The observation that aliphatic diamines become poor substrates as the carbon chain length decreases and that ethylenediamine, the shortest diamine, is an irreversible inhibitor of lysyl oxidase led to the investigation of the mechanism of inhibition by ethylenediamine. The cis but not the trans isomer of 1,2-diaminocyclohexane was also a potent irreversible inhibitor of lysyl oxidase, consisten...

The use of the diamine rac-trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (LL) as a major component of the solvent system allows the isolation of crystalline silver complexes with higher ratios of LL to silver (up to 4 : 1, compared to the previously obtained 1 : 1 in ethanolic solution). The complexes obtained and crystallographically characterized were (LL)2AgNO3 (1), (LL)3Ag(OAc)(H2O)2 (2) and (LL)4AgBr(H2O)3...

Chiral primary-tertiary diamine/TfOH was found to catalyze kinetic resolution of racemic syn-aldols of cyclohexanones in ionic liquid effectively, affording the chiral syn-aldols with up to 99:1 syn/anti and 99% ee.

A new aromatic diamine monomer containing ether linkage based on the phenanthrimidazole ring, ‎1,1´-(4,4´- oxy bis(1,4-phenylene))bis(2-(4-aminophenyl)-1H-phenanthro[9,10-d]imidazole) was synthesized through four-‎components condensation of 4,4´-diamino diphenyl ether, 4-nitrobenzaldehyde, phenanthrene-9,10-dione and ammonium ‎acetate in presence of acetic acid, followed by palladi...

New 1,5-tetra alkyl methyl- phenyl-1H-pyrimido[4,5-e][1,3,4]thiadiazine-3,7-diamine  were synthesized via the cyclocondensation of 2-(5-bromo-2-chloro-6-methylpyrimidin-4-yl)-2-methylhydrazine with phenylthioisothiocyanate  and further replacement of chlorine atom on the seven number position of pyrimido[4, 5- e][1, 3, 4]thiadiazin by appropriate secondary amines  in simple and efficient methods. 

Axial and center chirality of Pd complexes with tropos biphenyl secondary diamine ligands is shown to be controlled by chiral amide (R)-DABNTf, which can efficiently discriminate between two enantiomeric Pd complexes.

N-Indolyl or N-benzofuranyl indoles and benzimidazoles were prepared through metal-catalyzed tandem reactions between 2-alkynyl cyclohexadienimines or cyclohexadienones and 2-alkynylanilines or N(1)-benzylbenzene-1,2-diamine.
