Two heterocyclic cyclopentadienyl analogs with a CB2N2 skeleton, 4-methyl-1,2,3,5-tetraphenyl-1,2-diaza-3,5-diborolidine and 4-methyl-3,5-dimethylamino-1,2-diphenyl-1,2-diaza-3,5-diborolidine were prepared through cyclocondensation of the corresponding 1,1-bis(organochloroboryl)ethane with 1,2-diphenylhydrazine. The former diazadiborolidine featured a cyclopentadiene-like structure with short B...

Treatment of tetrakis(diethylamido)zirconium(IV); [Zr(NEt2)4] with a series of β-ketoimines ({[RHN]C(CH3)=C(H)C(CH3)=O} where R is a functionalized side-chain; 4-(2-methoxyethylamino)pent-3-en-2-one, Hmeap; 4-(3-methoxypropylamino)pent-3-en-2-one, Hmpap; 4-(2-(dimethylamino)ethylamino)pent-3-en-2-one, Hdeap; 4-(3-(dimethylamino)propylamino)pent-3-en-2-one, Hdpap) leads to an amine substitution ...

significance as calcium-channel modulators in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, such as hypertension, cardiac arrythmias or angina.1 In recent years, interest has also been focused on aza-analogs of dihydropyridines, such as dihydropyrimidines, which show a very similar pharmacological profile to that of dihydropyridine calcium channel modulators.2 In a continuation of these studies, ri...

The Hantzsch reaction was adapted to allow the rapid radiosynthesis of 13N-labelled 1,4-dihydropyridines, including [13N]nifedipine, for preclinical PET imaging.

The electronic nature of substituents attached to the 4-aryl moiety of 1,4-dihydropyridines strongly affects the photophysical and photochemical behavior of these family of compounds. The presence of an electron donor substituent on the 4-aryl moiety (or the absence of electron-withdrawing ones) modifies the luminescence lifetimes (τ < 100 ps) and diminishes the photodecomposition quantum yield...

We have examined the effects of the substituted pyridazinone herbicide, 4-chloro-5-(dimethylamino)-2-phenyl-3(2H)pyridazinone (BASF 13-338, Sandoz 9785), on the desaturation of linoleic acid (18:2) on different molecular species of monogalactosyldiacylglycerol (MGDG) and phosphatidylcholine (PC) in leaf tissue of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. Specific changes in lipid composition allowed ide...
