Two hyperactive mutants of cytochrome c peroxidase (CCP), W51F and W51A, catalyze the enhanced oxidation of a number of substituted anilines. The reaction of CCP compound ES with mesidine is biphasic, while similar reactions using compound II give monophasic kinetics. These data, in addition to the ratio of the Fe4+ = O and free-radical species observed during steady-state turnover, indicate th...

Benzofused seven-membered heterocycles such as 1,4-benzo[e]diazepines (1,4-BZDs) and 1,4-benzo[e]oxazepines (1,4-BZOs) were efficiently synthesized by Rh-catalyzed hydrofunctionalization of internal alkynes allenes in good to excellent yields. The asymmetric hydroamination (aminomethyl)anilines gave rise 3-vinyl-1,4-BZDs with enantioselectivities. Orthogonal N-deprotection 1,4-BZDs allowed an e...

Nucleophilic substitution reactions of 2-thiopheneethyl benzenesulfonates (2-TEB) and 3-thiopheneethyl benzenesulfonates (3-TEB) with anilines and N,N-dimethylanilines (DMA) are investigated in acetonitrile at 60.0 C. The cross-interaction constants ρ XZ determined for the reactions with anilines are large negative (− 0.50) which are comparable to those for the similar predominantly frontside-a...

Induction of male sterility by deployment of chemical hybridizing agents (CHAs) holds immense potential in heterosis breeding of wheat. A total of 21 anilides having different aromatic substitutions and side-chain variation were synthesized and screened as CHAs on three genotypes of wheat viz., PBW 343, HW 2046, and HD 2733, at winter season. Various anilides having vinyl moiety in the acyl sid...

The nucleophilic substitution reactions of Y-O-aryl methyl phosphonochloridothioates with substituted anilines (XC(6)H(4)NH(2)) and deuterated anilines (XC(6)H(4)ND(2)) are investigated kinetically in acetonitrile at 55.0 degrees C. The Hammett and Brønsted plots for substituent (X) variations in the nucleophiles are biphasic concave downwards with a break region between X = H and 4-Cl. The deu...

The photochemical behaviour of monohalogeno-phenols and -anilines is highly dependent on the position of the halogen on the ring, but most often it is not significantly influenced by the nature of the halogen (Cl, Br, F). Photohydrolysis is the main reaction observed with 3-halogenated and it is almost specific. With 2-halogenated, photohydrolysis and photocontraction of the ring compete, the l...

A convenient synthetic route for the synthesis of biologically active functionalized piperidines usingZn(OAc)2.2H2O as a highly efficient catalyst via five-component reaction of aromatic aldehydes,anilines and β-ketoesters at ambient temperature has studied. Mild reaction conditions, simplicity ofoperation and work-up procedures with no necessity of chromatographic purification steps, theavaila...

A simple and mild procedure for the conversion of anilines into aryl isocyanates is described using the 3-hydroxypropylammonium acetate (HPAA) ionic liquid as a novel and efficient media has been explored in the synthesis of aryl isocyanates from the reaction of substituted urea with sodium nitrite in a water immiscible solvent. This ionic liquid can be easily recovered and reused for many time...
