the changes of total calcium content of persian sturgeon, acipenser persicus follicles were investigated during different stages of germinal vesicle migration. total calcium content increased during maturation and ripening of the oocytes i.e. migration of nucleus toward the animal pole. according to data, the total calcium of follicles with polarization index (pi: the ratio of the distance of t...

In this research, a metal oxide nanocatalyst of ZnO supported copper oxide is reported as a highly efficient recyclable catalyst for the chemoselective synthesis of 1,1-diacetates. The catalyst was synthesized by co-precipitation method and characterized by XRD, BET specific surface area, ESEM, EDS and TEM analysis. A wide range of aldehydes, including aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes were conv...

A solvent-free approach is described for the regioselective synthesis of acylals (1,1-diacetates) in shorter reaction times and higher yields, compared to conventional methodology using solvents. In the protection reaction of the o-hydroxybenzaldehyde the formation of acetyl compounds and anhydro-dimers was observed. The deprotection reaction involves microwave (MW) exposure of diluted reactant...

objective: mitochondria is a critical organelle within the cell and has important role in the oocyte development, thus the aim of this study was the comparison of mitochondrial distribution within the mouse oocyte at germinal vesicle (gv), germinal vesicle breakdown (gvbd) and metaphase ii (mii) stages using laser confocal microscopy (lscm). materials and methods: after superovulation of adult...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Structurally diverse aldehydes are successfully converted into acylals (1,1-diacetates) with acetic anhydride using NaHSO4-SiO2 as a mild, convenient and inexpensive catalyst under solvent-free conditions. The noteworthy features of the present system are shorter reaction times, and mild and solvent-free conditions. Furthermore, it offers chemoselective protection of al...

A novel heterogeneous efficient procedure has been developed for the chemoselective synthesis of acylals (1,1-diacetates) under solvent-free conditions. A novel catalyst prepared by the sulfuric acid catalyzed copolymerization of p-toluenesulfonic acid and paraformaldehyde displays extremely high activities for the title reactions, affording average yields over 90% within several minutes. A com...
