A number of manganese-based catalysts employing ligands whose structures incorporate pyridyl groups have been reported previously to achieve both high turnover numbers and selectivity in the oxidation of alkenes and alcohols, using H(2)O(2) as terminal oxidant. Here we report our recent finding that these ligands decompose in situ to pyridine-2-carboxylic acid and its derivatives, in the presen...

7-(D-5-Amino-5-carboxy-valeramido)-3-(acetylhydrazido)-8-oxo-5-thio-1-azabicyclo [4,2,0]-oct2-ene-2-carboxylic acid (1). 7-(D-5-Amino-5-carboxy-valeramido)-3-(substitutedarylacetylhydrazido)8-oxo-5-thio-1-azabicyclo[4,2,0]-oct-2-ene-2-carboxylic acid.(2-5). 7-(D-5Amino-5carboxyvaleramido)3(2'substituted aryl-3'-chloro-4'-oxo-azetidin-1'-yl)-acetylamino]-8-oxo-5-thio-1azabicyclo[4,2,0]-oct-2-ene...

A series of novel N-benzyl substituted amides of 1H-indole-5-carboxylic acid were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE). The target compounds (6b-6e) displayed moderate potency to inhibit BuChE. One of the compounds tested, i.e., 1-benzylpiperidine amide of 1H-indole-5-carboxylic acid (6a) was a weak, non-selective i...

The crystal structures of 7,7-dicyclobutyl-5-hydroxymethyl-6-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane-1-carboxylic acid, C17H26O4, (I), and 1-(hydroxymethyl)-7-oxaspiro[bicyclo[3.2.1]octane-6,1'-cyclopentane]-5-carboxylic acid, C13H20O4, (II), determined at 170 K, show that the conformation of the hydroxymethyl group (anti or gauche) affects the dimensionality (one- or two-dimensional) of the supramolecular str...

In a screening for antifungal metabolites, two indole compounds of mixed biogenesis, 1H-indole-3-carboxylic acid, 1-(1,1-dimethyl-2-propenyl) methyl ester and 1H-indole-3-carboxylic acid, 1-(2,3-dihydroxy-1,1-dimethylpropyl) methyl ester were isolated from a culture of the basidiomycete Aporpiums caryae. The structural elucidation of these compounds was accomplished by spectroscopic methods.

[ ZH2 IACC) ; 1-amino [ 2R, 3E-2H2] cyc lopropaneIcar boxy 1 ic acid (trans-[zH2]ACC) : and l-amino[2,2.3.3-~H~]cyclopropane1-carboxylic acid are described. The [2,2-2H2]and [2,2,3.3-2H4]ACC compounds were prepared from the appropriately deuterated 2-bromoethanol 4-methylbenzenesulfonates by reaction with ethyl isocyanoacetate and two moles oE sodium hydride. The transr2H2]ACC and &[2H2]ACC wer...

A new conjugate, 1 -(y-i-glutamylamino)cyclopropane-1 -carboxylic acid (CACC), of the ethylene precursor 1 -aminocyclopropane1 -carboxylic acid (ACC) i s identified. The only previously identified conjugate of ACC i s 1 -(malonylamino)cyclopropane-1 -carboxylic acid (MACC). CACC, not MACC, was the major conjugate formed by crude protein extracts of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mil1 cv Ailsa ...

The role played by the additives salicylic acid, L-ascorbic acid and oxalic acid in promoting the catalytic activity of [MnIV2(O)3(tmtacn)2](PF6)2 (1(PF6)2, where tmtacn = N,N',N''-trimethyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane) in the epoxidation and cis-dihydroxylation of alkenes with H2O2 and in suppressing the catalysed decomposition of H2O2 is examined. Whereas aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids e...
