The synthesis of Cu(II) complexes derived from Schiff base ligands obtained by the condensation of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde or terephtalic aldehyde with 4-amino-antipyrine (4-amino-2,3-dimethyl-1-phenyl-3-pyrazolin-5-one) is presented. The newly prepared compounds were characterized by( 1)H-NMR, UV-VIS, IR and ESR spectroscopy. The determination of the antimicrobial activity of the ligands and of ...

Thirty two new Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) complexes (1-32) with salicylidene thiosemicarbazones (H₂L¹-H₂L¹⁰) were synthesized. Salicylidene thiosemicarbazones, of general formula (X)N-NH-C(S)-NH(Y), were prepared through the condensation reaction of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde and its derivatives (X) with thiosemicarbazide or 4-phenylthiosemicarbazide (Y = H, C6H5). The characterization of the new for...

Sugarcane molasses is a rich source of antioxidant materials with peroxyl radical scavenging effects. To explore the potent antioxidant activity of sugarcane molasses against 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH)-induced peroxyl radicals, 7 methanolic fractions of sugarcane molasses (F1-F7) were separated via bioassay-guided fractionation and evaluated by oxygen radical absorbanc...

The ability of a nitrifying sludge to oxidize p-cresol was evaluated in a sequential batch reactor (SBR). p-Cresol was first transformed to p-hydroxybenzaldehyde and p-hydroxybenzoate, which were later mineralized. The specific rates of p-cresol consumption increased throughout the cycles. The bacterial population dynamics were monitored by using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) a...

m-Cresol metabolism under sulfate-reducing conditions was studied with a pure culture of Desulfotomaculum sp. strain Groll. Previous studies with a sulfate-reducing consortium indicated that m-cresol was degraded via an initial para-carboxylation reaction. However, 4-hydroxy-2-methylbenzoic acid was not degraded by strain Groll, and no evidence for ring carboxylation of m-cresol was found. Stra...

4-Hydroxy benzylideneacetone (4-HBA) is an organic synthesis intermediate and can be used as a precursor for the of raspberry ketone. Herein, 2-deoxy-D-ribose 5-phosphate aldolase (DERA) was overexpressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) attractive catalyst enzymatic aldol reactions. The reaction between 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (4-HBD) acetone to biosynthesize 4-HBA catalyzed by whole-cell (pRSF-Deoc). yiel...

The reagent 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (4-HBTS) has been used for the determination of Mo(VI) by spectrophotometric method. The reagent 4-HBTS gives green colour with Mo(VI) solution of weak acidic medium and the maximum absorbance was observed at 365nm, in acidic buffer p H 6.0. The molar absorptivity and Sandell’s sensitivity of Mo(VI)4-HBTS complex are 1.25 x 10 L mol cm and 0.0...
