Sulfonation is one of the most abundant cellular reactions modifying a wide range of xenobiotics as well as endogenous molecules which regulate important biological processes including blood clotting, formation of connective tissues, and functionality of secreted proteins, hormones, and signaling molecules. Sulfonation is ubiquitous in all tissues and widespread in nature (plants, animals, and ...

Vanol is a member of the vaulted biaryl family of ligands and it has been proven to be very effective in a number of asymmetric catalytic reactions. The previous synthesis of vanol, while effective, is limited by the cost of reagents involved. The present work evaluates three different approaches to the synthesis of 3-phenyl-1-naphthol, a key intermediate in the synthesis of vanol. The first ap...

In this study, Cellulose-based carbon fibers (CBCFs) were prepared from cellulose after phenol liquefaction and curing. The characteristics and properties of CBCFs were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results showed that, with increasing car...

We present a quantum chemical study of oxidation of phenoxy and benzyl radicals by HO2. All calculations were carried out using the modified Perdew-Wang (MPW1K) density functional method. We found that adsorption of HO2 in the ortho and para positions of the aromatic ring leads to stable phenyl-OOH and benzyl-OOH adducts with dissociation energies from 16 to 27 kcal/mol. Calculations indicate t...

The title compound, C14H13NO4S, an analogue of capsaicin, differs from the latter by having a 1,3-benzodioxole ring rather than a 2-meth-oxy-phenol moiety, and having a benzene-sulfonamide group instead of an aliphatic amide chain. The five-membered ring is in an envelope conformation with the methyl-ene C atom lying 0.221 (6) Å out of the plane formed by the other four atoms. The dihedral angl...

The title compound, C23H25N3O, crystallized with one single mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit and is present in the zwitterionic form. There is an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond in the mol-ecule with the phenol ring being inclined to the central benzene ring by 20.67 (14)°. The terminal amino-phenyl ring forms a dihedral angle of 54.21 (14)° with the central benzene ring. The two outer arom...

A series of triazole antifungal agents with piperidine side chains was designed and synthesized. The results of antifungal tests against eight human pathogenic fungi in vitro showed that all the compounds exhibited moderate-to-excellent activities. Molecular docking between 8d and the active site of Candida albicans CYP51 was provided based on the computational docking results. The triazole int...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cd(2)Cl(2)(NCS)(2)(C(15)H(15)NO(2))(2)](n), contains the Schiff base 2-[(4-methyl-phenyl-imino)meth-yl]-6-methoxy-phenol (HL) ligand, one thio-cyanate and one chloride ligand coordinated to a cadmium centre. The cadmium centers are linked to each other via two thio-cyanate and two chloride bridges alternately, resulting in centrosymmetric zigzag chain...

An automated method has been devised for determining 5’-nucleotidase activity in serum. A modified creatine phosphokinase cartridge (Technicon Instrument Corp., Tarrytown, N. Y.) is used to prepare a reaction mixture containing, per liter: barbital buffer (pH 7.5), 16.1 mmol; adenosine-5’-phosphate, 5.4 mmol; Mg2, 20.2 mmol; phenyl phosphate, 7.8 mmol; adenosine deamlnase, 0.78 mg; and sample, ...

Condensation of 8-hy-droxy-quinoline-2-carbaldehyde with 2-amino-phenol gave the (E)-2-[(2-hy-droxy-phenyl-imino)-meth-yl]quinolin-8-ol derivative that reacted with di-n-butyl-tin oxide with release of H2O to yield the chelate title complex, [Sn2(C4H9)4(C16H10N2O2)2]. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1, with two independent centrosymmetric dimers in the unit cell. Each f...
