A wide range of new oxime-based photochromic diarylethenes of the cyclopentenone series have been synthesized. Their spectral properties have been investigated in detail upon UV/vis light irradiation in acetonitrile solution, and distinct correlations between photochromic characteristics and substance structures are revealed. It was found that the introduction of an oxime group into the cyclope...

Synthesis and biological properties of amphotericin B O-methyl oxime are described. The presence of an intact hemiketal ring in the antibiotic molecule appeared to be essential for its biological activity.

In the title compound, [Ni(HCOO)(2)(C(7)H(8)N(2)O)(2)], the Ni atom is six-coordinated by four N atoms from two oxime ligands and by two O atoms from two formate ions in a distorted octa-hedral geometry, with the oxime-N atoms mutually trans. The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The title compound, C(29)H(30)N(2)O(4), adopts a distorted Z configuration with respect to the oxime group, which is almost coplanar with the adjacent naphthalene ring [dihedral angle = 4.11 (2)°]. There is one half-mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit, with a crystallographic twofold rotation axis passing through the central C atom of the -CH=N-O-(CH)(5)-O-N=CH- bridge. Within the mol-ecule, the d...

The title compound, C(24)H(27)FN(2)O(4), is an important inter-mediate in the synthesis of fungicidal strobilurin-type compounds. In the crystal structure, the oxime bond attached to the cyclo-propane ring adopts a Z configuration, while the oxime bond attached to the benzene ring adopts an E configuration. The fluoro-methyl-phenyl group adopts a trans configuration with respect to the remainde...

Various 2-substituted indolizines can be directly and selectively lithiated in the 5 position and subsequent reactions with different electrophiles lead to some novel classes of indolizines. In particular, previously unknown 5-formyland 5-iodoindolizine have been prepared by this way and the molecular structure of 5-formyl-2phenylindolizine was confirmed by X-Ray analysis. The reactivity of the...

Peptide-bond formation is a pivotal process in the synthesis of peptide oligomers. Among the various coupling methodologies described, carbodiimides combine strong acylation potency and smooth reaction conditions, and they are commonly used in the presence of N-hydroxylamine additives. In recent years, acidic oxime templates, mainly ethyl 2-cyano-2-(hydroxyimino) acetate (Oxyma), have emerged a...

We describe here the synthesis and activity of a new series of oxime reactivators of cholinesterases (ChEs) that contain tertiary amine or imidazole protonatable functional groups. Equilibration between the neutral and protonated species at physiological pH enables the reactivators to cross the blood-brain barrier and distribute in the CNS aqueous space as dictated by interstitial and cellular ...
