The biomolecule chelidonic acid (H2chel, 4-oxo-4H-pyran-2,6-dicarboxylic acid) has been used to build new coordination polymers with the bridging N,N?-ligands 4,4?-bipyridine (4,4-bipy) and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane (bpe). Four compounds have obtained as single crystals: 1D cationic [M(4,4-bipy)(OH2)4]2+ chelidonate anions water molecules in second sphere 1?[Zn(4,4-bipy)(H2O)4]chel·3H2O (2) two ...

ZSM-11 zeolite was synthesized by hydrothermal treatment and cerium ion was incorporated by the ion exchange method.  The catalytic activity of cerium modified ZSM-11 zeolite was tested for the one-pot synthesis of 4H-pyran derivatives by cyclocondensation of aromatic aldehyde, malononitrile, and ethyl acetoacetate. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by Po...

Higher fungi are a major source of bioactive secondary metabolites, and researchers have established the existence of biochemical pathways solely for the purpose of producing mycotoxins and other natural products in fungi through the study of ecological chemical interactions.1 Recently, wood-degrading fungi received great attention for its possible use as antimicrobial agent. Schizophyllum comm...

Bougainvillea is widely used in traditional Mexican medicine to treat several diseases. This study was designed to characterize the chemical constituents of B. x buttiana extracts with antioxidant and cytotoxic activities using different solvents. The extraction solvents used were as follows: distilled water (dH₂O), methanol (MeOH), acetone (DMK), ethanol (EtOH), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), dichloro...

In the title compound, C20H14N2O, the phenyl ring is almost normal to the naphthalene ring system with a dihedral angle of 86.72 (9)°. The 4H-pyran ring fused with the naphthalene ring system has a boat conformation. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into a helical supra-molecular chain along the b axis via N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The chains are consolidated into a three-dimensional architect...
