The present work describes the studies on the coordination behaviour of 4[N-(benzalidene) amino]antipyrine semicarbazone (BAAPS) (I), 4[N-(furfural)amino]antipyrine semicarbazone (FFAAPS) (II) and 4[N-(cinnamalidene)amino]antipyrine semicarbazone (CAAPS) (III) in presence of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or diphenyl sulfoxide (DPSO) towards Th4+ and UO22+ salts. All the complexes were isolate...

A series of 5-oxohexannitrile derivatives IIa-d was prepared by react ion of acry lonitrile with ketones Ia-d. On the other hand, semicarbazone derivatives IVa-d were obtained upon reaction of IIa-d with semicarbazide. Hydrolysis and esterification in one step reaction of δ-ketonitrile IIa-d resulted in the formation of the corresponding δ-ketoesters Va-d. The δ-ketoesters Va-d is readily cycli...

Photophysics of 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde semicarbazone (2HNS) and the corresponding thiosemicarbazone (2HNT) are explored in n-heptane and methanol as solvents, focusing on the intramolecular proton transfer (IPT) in the ground (S0) and the first excited singlet (S1) states using absorption, steady state and time-resolved fluorometric techniques. The feasibility of the IPT process in the two ...

Earlier studies had demonstrated that a flavoprotein capable of mediating a triphosphopyridine nucleotide (TPN)-linked reduction of Furacin (5-nitro-2-furaldehyde semicarbazone) was present in cell-free extracts of Furacin-susceptible strains of Escherichia coli, but was absent in extracts of resistant strains (I). Dr. Philip E. Hartman, who was then associated with our department, suggested to...

We report a one-step method for the purification to homogeneity of a cysteine proteinase of Entamoeba histolytica (histolysin) by affinity chromatography of the soluble extract of the parasite on immobilized phenylalanyl(2-phenyl)aminoacetaldehyde semicarbazone. The enzyme has an apparent Mr of 26,000 by SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and 29,000 by gel chromatography. Its pH optimum var...

Attachment of oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) containing benzaldehyde (BAL) groups to semicarbazide-coated glass (SC-glass) slides is described. 5'-BAL-ODNs are prepared using automated DNA synthesis and an acetal-protected BAL phosphoramidite reagent. The hydrophobic protecting group simplifies purification of BAL-ODNs by reverse phase HPLC and is easily removed using standard acid treatment. The...

The reaction between the racemic mixture of the camphor-4-phenyl-thio-semicarbazone derivative and cadmium acetate dihydrate yielded the title compound, [Cd(C17H20N3OS)2]. The Cd(II) ion is six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral environment by two deprotonated thio-semicarbazone ligands acting as an O,N,S-donor in a tridentate chelating mode, forming five-membered chelate rings. In the crys...

This article reports data on four carbazones of piperitone: semicarbazone 1, thiosemicarbazone 2, 4-phenyl semicarbazone 3 and 4-phenyl thiosemicarbazone 4 prepared directly in situ from essential oil of Cymbopogon schoenantus, whose GC-FID and GC-MS analysis revealed piperitone as major component (68.20%). The structures of hemi-synthesized compounds were confirmed by high throughput IR, MS, 1...

In Paper II we (1) have shown that methyl 3(a)-acetoxy-11,12epoxycholanate undergoes fission of the epoxide ring with the introduction of the anionic constituent at C-11. The products of such reactions offered, we felt, a possible route to the preparation of 3(a), 11-dihydroxycholanic acid. Marker and Lawson (2) prepared 3((r), 11-dihydroxy-1Zketocholanic acid by bromination and subsequent alka...
