The hydroamination reaction offers a very attractive route for the synthesis of alkylated amines and their derivatives with no byproduct formation. Heterogeneous intermolecular hydroamination reactions of alkynes with aromatic amines using different inexpensive copper salts of hetropolyacid catalysts were investigated. Among heteropoly salts, copper salts of silicotungstic acid showed highest a...

Para-Aminobenzoic acid is supported on silica gel via reaction of activated silica gel and p-aminobenzoic acid which is then converted to its manganese and cobalt salts. A mixture of the manganese and cobalt salts of the acid is used to catalyze allylic and benzylic alcohols to their corresponding carbonyl compounds in reasonable yields using oxygen or air. Reactions are clean and the catal...

Probiotics mainly reside in host intestinal tract, where they interact with bile salts and ingested cholesterol. This paper reviews the recent progresses of probiotics on the following issues, i.e. bile salts effect on membrane composition; probiotic tolerance and modification of bile salts; the mechanism of probiotic removal of host cholesterol; and the roles that bile salt hydrolase plays. © ...

Vinyl(aryl)iodonium salts are useful compounds in organic synthesis but they are under-utilized and their chemistry is under-developed. Herein is described the solvolysis of some vinyl(phenyl)iodonium salts, bearing an arylsulfonyl group, in aqueous DMSO leading to aldehyde formation. This unusual process is selective and operates under ambient conditions. Furthermore, the addition of aqueous H...

Although the hydrogen-bonding ability of the α hydrogen atoms on tetraalkylammonium salts is often discussed with respect to phase-transfer catalysts, catalysis that utilizes the hydrogen-bond-donor properties of tetraalkylammonium salts remains unknown. Herein, we demonstrate hydrogen-bonding catalysis with newly designed tetraalkylammonium salt catalysts in Mannich-type reactions. The structu...

Abstract Re(I) complexes have potential in biomedical sciences as imaging agents, diagnostics and therapeutics. Thus, it is crucial to understand how interact with carrier proteins, like serum albumins. Here, two neutral were used ( fac ‐[Re(CO) 3 (1,10‐phenanthroline)L], which L either 4‐cyanophenyltetrazolate (1) or 4‐methoxycarbonylphenyltetrazole ester (2) , study the interactions bovine al...

effluent from ro (reverse osmosis) systems during recovery gradually becomes concentrated and supersaturated with soluble salts such as calcium carbonate (caco3), calcium sulfate (caso4), barium sulfate (baso4) and silica (sio2). thus we were looking for procedures to prevent precipitation of soluble salts on the membrane surface and decrease membrane permeability. therefore, recovery could be ...

The preparation, structure and spectral characteristics o f intensely colored salts of 2-hydroxyim ino-l,3-indandione with am m onia and amines are described. The crystallization o f the salts takes place with a high yield. All the salts fluoresce in DM SO. M N D O calculations show that the form ation o f an anion from 2-hydroxyim ino-l,3-indandione is associated with substantial alterations i...

The discovery, understanding and synthetic exploitation of the photochemical transformation of pyridinium salts are described. The investigations surrounding the remarkable transformation of pyridinium salts into a host of structurally complex motifs have helped extend the comprehension of aromatic and heteroaromatic photochemistry. The synthetic community has, in recent years, recognised the p...
