Hydroxyl radical (OH) oxidation of toluene produces ring-retaining products: cresol and benzaldehyde, and ring-opening products: bicyclic intermediate compounds and epoxides. Here, firstand later-generation OH oxidation products from cresol and benzaldehyde are identified in laboratory chamber experiments. For benzaldehyde, first-generation ring-retaining products are identified, but later-gene...

In the asymmetric addition of allyltrichlorosilane to benzaldehyde, polystyrenes with chiral phosphoramide substituents as Lewis base catalysts showed up to 2.4 times better catalytic activity and 1.4 times higher enantioselectivity than the corresponding low-molecular-weight analogues.

Materials Propionic acid (>98%), 4-(methylthio)benzaldehyde (>99%), Methyl triflate (MeOTf), triflic acid (>98%) and manganese (II) chloride tetrahydrate (99.9%) were purchased from Wako pure chemical (Osaka, Japan). Pyrrole (>99%) was purchased from Tokyo chemical industry (Tokyo, Japan). Synthesis of

Toluene and its metabolites have been studied with respect to their reactive oxygen species-enhancing potential in isolated systems and in vivo. The induction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was assayed using the probe 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA). Intraperitoneal injection of toluene, benzyl alcohol or benzaldehyde caused a significant elevation in the rate o...

A series of benzaldehyde substituted phenyl carbonyl hydrazones has been synthesized and their formylation has been carried out by using Vilsmeier-Haack reaction. All the hydrazones and their formyl derivatives were screened for antibacterial activity.

4-(Carbazol-9-yl)benzaldehyde could emit yellow RTP, which could last for 3 s because of efficient intersystem crossing. Moreover, multicolor luminescent switches could be realized by simply applying a mechanical force stimulus.
