The title compound, C18H24N2O4·H2O {systematic name: (1aR,7aS,8R,10aS,10bS,E)-5-hy-droxy-methyl-8-[(1H-imidazol-1-yl)meth-yl]-1a-methyl-2,3,6,7,7a,8,10a,10b-octa-hydro-oxireno[2',3':9,10]cyclo-deca-[1,2-b]furan-9(1aH)-one monohydrate}, an imidazole derivative of melampomagnolide B was synthesized under Michael addition conditions. The mol-ecule is built up from fused ten-, five- (lactone) and t...

in the present study, an attempt has been made to synthesize 3-methyl-4-arylmethylene isoxazole-5(4h)-one derivatives through sonication of hydroxylamine hydrochloride, ethyl acetoacetate and benzaldehyde derivatives in the presence of imidazole as a novel and effective catalyst in aqueous media. this green reaction under ultrasound irradiation has advantageous compared to conventional procedur...

In the title structure, [Cd(C5H2N5)2(C3H7NO)2] n or [Cd(adci)2(DMF)2] n , the Cd(2+) ion is located on a twofold rotation axis and is six-coordinated in a CdN4O2 manner by four imidazole N atoms of four symmetry-related 2-amino-4,5-di-cyano-imidazolate (adci) anions in the equatorial plane and by two O atoms of symmetry-related N,N-di-methyl-formamide (DMF) ligands in axial positions. The adci(...

Reaction of nitroalkenes or nitrodienes with methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) or acrylate in the presence of the imidazole-LiCl catalyst system provides Rauhut-Currier (vinylogous Morita-Baylis-Hillman) adducts in moderate yield. Under similar conditions (imidazole-hydroquinone), nitroalkenes and nitrodienes undergo self-dimerization to afford the Rauhut-Currier adducts in varying yields. An alternati...

Although our recent studies revealed that under Ar microwave plasma conditions reactions of imidazole with poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) result in the formation of Si-CH2-imidazole species, the issue of the discharge gas effect on microwave plasma reactions remain unanswered. This study examines how these reactions in the presence of Ar, O2, and CO2 gases under microwave plasma conditions will ...

A strategy for the preparation of semisynthetic copper(II)-based catalytic metalloproteins is described in which a metal-binding bis-imidazole cofactor is incorporated into the combining site of the aldolase antibody 38C2. Antibody 38C2 features a large hydrophobic-combining site pocket with a highly nucleophilic lysine residue, Lys(H93), that can be covalently modified. A comparison of several...

A new family of nickel(II) complexes of the type [Ni(L)(CH(3)CN)](BPh(4))(2), where L=N-methyl-N,N',N'-tris(pyrid-2-ylmethyl)-ethylenediamine (L1, 1), N-benzyl-N,N',N'-tris(pyrid-2-yl-methyl)-ethylenediamine (L2, 2), N-methyl-N,N'-bis(pyrid-2-ylmethyl)-N'-(6-methyl-pyrid-2-yl-methyl)-ethylenediamine (L3, 3), N-methyl-N,N'-bis(pyrid-2-ylmethyl)-N'-(quinolin-2-ylmethyl)-ethylenediamine (L4, 4), a...

The rate and equilibrium constants for the information of a number of metmyoglobin species Mb+X (X = imidazole, imidazole-H-, 1-methylimidazole, 2-methylimidazole, 4-nitroimidazole, 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole, pyridine, 2-, 3-, and 4-picoline) and the rates of their reduction by dithionite have been measured at 25 degrees. Several different kinds of kinetic behavior for the reduction were observ...
