-The hydrolysis of several ring substituted methyl benzoates was investigated in aqueous solution over a pH range of 3-10. Both the pH dependence (at pH > 5) and the variation of hydrolysis rates with ring substitution are consistent with a mechanism involving the addition of hydroxide ion to the ester carbonyl group. Extrapolation of the rate data to a pH and temperature that would be consiste...

In the title mol-ecule, C(20)H(18)O(4), the three methyl groups of the tert-butyl substituent show rotational disorder. Each methyl group is split over three positions, with refined site-occupation factors of 0.711 (4), 0.146 (3) and 0.144 (4). The benzene ring of the benzoate group is oriented at a dihedral angle of 60.70 (7)° with respect to the planar chromene ring [maximum deviation = 0.046...

The complete binuclear molecule of the title compound, [Cd2I4(C14H12N2O2)2], is generated by the application of a centre of inversion. The Cd-I bond lengths of the central core are close and uniformly longer than the exocyclic Cd-I bond. The coordination sphere of the Cd(II) atom is completed by two N atoms of a chelating methyl 4-[(pyridin-2-yl-methyl-idene)amino]-benzoate ligand, and is based...

The strain T1BF was isolated from the old bast tissue of Taxus yunnanensis and determined to be a member of Talaromyces. The extracts from the solid fermentation of Talaromycessp. T1BF were purified and obtained three azaphilones, including a new one. They were identified on the basis of spectral data as 6alpha-hydroxy-7beta-methyl-8-oxo-3-((E)- prop-1-en-1-yl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-1H-isochromen-...

In methyl 4-(5-amino-3-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-3-nitrobenzoate, C(17)H(14)N(4)O(4), the molecules are linked into complex sheets by a combination of N-H...N, N-H...O and C-H...O hydrogen bonds. In the isomeric methyl 3-nitro-4-[(5-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)amino]benzoate, molecules exhibit a polarized molecular-electronic structure and are linked into chains of edge-fused rings by a combination of...

The title samarium coordination polymer, [Sm(3)(C(8)H(7)O(2))(9)](n), was obtained by the hydro-thermal reaction of Sm(NO(3))(3) with 4-methyl-benzoic acid in alkaline aqueous solution. In the asymmetric unit, there are three crystallographically independent Sm(III) ions, two of which are eight-coordinate in a distorted square-anti-prismatic environment, while the third is nine-coordinate in a ...

In the title compound, C(21)H(24)ClNO(6)S, the benzene rings are oriented at a dihedral angles of 41.6 (2)°. In the crystal structure, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions link the mol-ecules.

IMPORTANCE In addition to dopaminergic hyperactivity, hypofunction of the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) has an important role in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Enhancing NMDAR-mediated neurotransmission is considered a novel treatment approach. To date, several trials on adjuvant NMDA-enhancing agents have revealed beneficial, but limited, efficacy for positive and negative sympt...

Chloromethane (CH(3)Cl), a gaseous natural product released as a secondary metabolite by many woodrotting fungi of the family Hymenochaetaceae, has been shown to act as a methyl donor for biosynthesis of methyl esters of benzoic and furoic acid in the primary metabolism of Phellinus pomaceus. The broad-specificity methylating system could esterify a wide range of aromatic and aliphatic acids. I...
