The title compound, C(8)H(17)NO, crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. In the crystal, inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding is observed between neighboring mol-ecules, forming continuous mol-ecular chains along the c-axis direction.

A series of binuclear boron compounds supported by Salan(Bu)H4 ligands have been prepared. They are of the general formula Salan(Bu)[B(OR)]2. The compounds are Salean( Bu)(BOR)2 [Salean( Bu) = (N,N 0-ethylenebis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicylamine)), R = Me (1), SiMe3 (4)], Salban( Bu)(BOR)2[Salban( Bu) = (N,N 0-butylenebis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-salicylamine)), R = Me (2), SiMe3 (5)], and Salhan(Bu)(BOR...

In the title compound, C(16)H(25)NO, the N-tert-butyl-propanamide fragment is essentially planar, with the exception of two C atoms of the tert-butyl group (r.m.s. deviation = 0.005 Å), forming a dihedral angle of 84.09 (10)° with the plane of the mesityl fragment (r.m.s. deviation = 0.002 Å). The crystal packing is stabilized by an inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond, which links the mol-ecule...

The water-soluble gold(III) complex [Au(III)(butyl-C^N)biguanide]Cl (butyl-HC^N = 2-(4-n-butylphenyl)pyridine, BCN) displays cytotoxicity through S-phase cell cycle arrest and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) damage in HeLa cells, and shows a promising anti-angiogenic effect at sub-cytotoxic concentrations.
