Copolymerization is an important synthetic tool to prepare polymers with desirable combination of properties which are difficult to achieve from the different homopolymers concerned. This investigation reports the copolymerization of 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (EHA) and styrene using copper bromide (CuBr) as catalyst in combination with N,N,N',N″,N″- pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (PMDETA) as ligand ...

A new bicyclic sulfonamide derivative, N-(1-(bromomethyl)-7,7-dimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-yl)benzenesulfonamide, was synthesized in the reaction of benzenesulfonamide and camphene presence N-bromosuccinimide acetonitrile. The proposed mechanism investigated involves Wagner–Meerwein rearrangement stage. 3-(Bromomethylene)-2,2-dimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptane isolated as a minor product. products...

Epoxide hydrolase from Agrobacterium radiobacter AD1 catalyzes the enantioselective hydrolysis of styrene oxide with an E value of 16. The (R)-enantiomer of styrene oxide is first converted with a k(cat) of 3.8 s(-1), and the conversion of the (S)-enantiomer is inhibited. The latter is subsequently hydrolyzed with a k(cat) of 10.5 s(-1). The pre-steady-state kinetic parameters were determined f...

We developed an organophotoredox-catalyzed reaction for N-alkylation of sulfonamides with aliphatic carboxylic acid-derived redox active esters as alkylating reagents. Under mild and transition metal-free conditions, a series functionalized N-alkylated were prepared. This protocol also enabled the functionalization pharmaceutical drugs bearing sulfonamide or acid moiety. radical-mediated proces...

Styrene causes both liver and lung damage in non-Swiss albino, CD-1, and other strains of mice. This is considered to be due to the bioactivation of styrene to styrene oxide by cytochromes P450, principally CYP2E1 and CYP2F2. If so, one would expect CYP2E1 knockout mice to be less susceptible to styrene-induced toxicity than wild-type mice. However, previous in vitro and in vivo studies demonst...

A new, versatile and direct Pd-mediated method involving intramolecular cyclization of N-(2-iodoaryl)-N-(1-alkyl-1H-indol-2-yl)alkane/arene/heteroarene sulfonamide has been developed leading to a diverse and unique class of indolo[2,3-b]indoles for the potential inhibition of sirtuins.

The pseudo-Riemannian manifold M = (M, g), n ≥ 2 is paraquaternionic Kähler if hol(M) ⊂ sp(n,R)⊕sp(1, R). If hol(M) ⊂ sp(n, R), than the manifold M is called para-hyperKähler. The other possible definitions of these manifolds use certain parallel para-quaternionic structures in End(TM), similarly to the quaternionic case. In order to relate these different definitions we study para-quaternionic...

A series of novel sulfonamide isoxazolo[5,4-b]pyridines were synthesized. The substrates for their synthesis were 3-aminoisoxazolo[5,4-b]pyridine and selected aryl sulfonic chlorides, chlorosulfonic acid and selected amines. Reactions were carried out using the classical and microwave methods. Selected compounds were tested towards antibacterial and antiproliferative activity. The structure of ...

In the title compound, C(14)H(20)N(2)O(2)S, the sulfonamide O atoms lie to one side of the benzene ring and the amino-bicyclo-hepta-nyl to the other side [C(ar)-S-N-C torsion angle = -57.93 (11)°; ar = aromatic]. An intra-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bond is formed. In the crystal, a supra-molecular chain is formed along the b axis via N-H⋯O and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.
