Cyclic phosphates and certain related compounds undergo hydrolysis millions of times faster than their acyclic analogs, and specifically may undergo rapid hydrolysis of ester groups that are external to the ring.'-4 These unusual rate effects have recently been explained5 by postulating that the trigonal bipyramidal intermediates, formed during hydrolysis, undergo an internal inversion, or "pse...

In the structure of the title compound (N3MP2MBA), C(15)H(15)NO, the conformation of the N-H bond is anti to the meta-methyl substituent in the aniline ring and that of the C=O bond is syn to the ortho-methyl substituent in the benzoyl ring, while the conformations of the N-H and C=O bonds are anti to each other. The bond parameters in N3MP2MBA are similar to those in 2-methyl-N-phenyl-benzamid...

Benzoyl-protected mercaptoacetyltriglycine, a synthetic precursor used in the preparation of Technetium-99m-mercaptoacetyltriglycine, a radiopharmaceutical for renal tubular function and L-cysteine methylester, a small, non-zwitterionic amino acid derivative, were used as capping agents of gold nanoparticles obtained by borohydride reduction method. The capped gold nanoparticles composites were...

Enantiomerically pure (S)-tributylstannyl[D1]methanol and (R)- and (S)-tributylstannyl[D1]methyl benzoates were Stille-coupled with bromobenzene and benzoyl chloride in 1,4-dioxane and toluene using [(Ph3P)4Pd] or [(Ph3P)2PdCl2] either alone or in combination with CuCN as cocatalyst at temperatures up to 80 °C. The products were found to be enantiomerically pure. (R)- and (S)-N-(tributylstannyl...

Rate constants and activations parameters are reported for solvolyses of p-Z-substituted benzoyl chlorides (1, Z = OMe, Me, H, and Cl) in 97% w/w hexafluoroisopropanol-water (97H). Additional kinetic data are reported for solvolyses in acetic and formic acids. Plots of log k vs. σ(p) in 97H are consistent with previous research showing that a cationic reaction channel is dominant, even for solv...

Three new compounds: 2R,3R-pterosin L 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1), beta-D-xylopyranosyl(1-->2)-7-O-benzoyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (2) and 4-O-benzoyl-beta-D-xylo-pyranosyl(1-->2)-7-O-benzoyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3), together with nine known compounds, were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of Pteris ensiformis. 5-[2-Hydroxyethylidene]-2(5H)-furanone (4), which had been synthesized, ...

Chiral inositols (D-chiro-inositol from D-pinitol and L-chiro-inositol from L-quebrachitol) were converted to the 3,4-di-O-benzyl ethers, which were selectively benzoylated to yield the 1,2,5-tri-O-benzoyl-3,4-di-O-benzyl-chiro-inositols. The free hydroxyl group in each derivative was inverted by way of the trifluoromethane sulfonate ester to provide D- and L-1,2,4-tri-O-benzoyl-5,6-di-O-benzyl...

The conformation of the C=O bond in the structure of the title compound, C(14)H(13)NO, is anti to the meta-methyl substituent in the benzoyl ring. The conformations of the N-H and C=O bonds in the amide group are also anti to each other. The asymmetric unit of the structure contains two mol-ecules. The bond parameters are similar to those in N-(phen-yl)benzamide, 2-methyl-N-(phenyl)-benz-amide ...
