An efficient tandem synthesis of alkyl aryl ethers, including valuable building blocks of dialdehyde and dinitro groups under microwave irradiation and solvent free conditions on potassium carbonate as a mild solid base has been developed. A series of alkyl aryl ethers were obtained from alcohols in excellent yields by following the Williamson ether synthesis protocol under practical mild condi...

Modeling phonetic context is one of the key points to get natural sounding in concatenative speech synthesis. In this paper, a new quantitative method to model context has been proposed. In the proposed method, the context is measured as the distance between leafs of the top-down likelihood-based decision trees that have been grown during the construction of acoustic inventory. Unlike other con...

the regulation of dopamine and serotonin synthesis in rat brain striatal synaptosomes has been studied using hplc methods. noradrenaline was shown to markedly inhibit both the synthesis of dopamine and serotonin. the response of the synaptosomes to the concentrations of noradrenaline appeared to be biphasic, a very effective inhibition occurring at low concentrations (1-5 µm) and a relatively i...

for the first time lactic acid was applied as an efficient and green catalyst for the one-pot three-component synthesis of amidoalkyl naphthols via the condensation between arylaldehydes, 2-naphthol and amides or urea under thermal solvent-free conditions in good to excellent yields. we have demonestrated a mild and efficient eco-friendly tandem synthesis of amidoalkyl naphthols using lactic ac...
