We report here a practical and metal-free synthesis of novel enantiopure amides containing the drug-like 5-nitroimidazole scaffold. The first step was a metal-free diastereoselective addition of 4-(4-(chloromethyl)phenyl)-1,2-dimethyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazole to enantiomerically pure N-tert-butanesulfinimine. Then, the N-tert-butanesulfinyl-protected amine was easily deprotected under acidic condit...

Novel unsymmetrical ligands, 1-thiophosphoryloxy-3-thiophosphorylbenzenes 3a-d, bearing phosphine sulfide and thiophosphoryloxy moieties as coordinating sites, were found to undergo cyclometalation at the C-2 position of the central benzene ring in a reaction with bis(benzonitrile)palladium dichloride affording rare examples of nonsymmetrical pincer complexes, namely [2-{(thiophosphoryl)oxy}-6-...

Coupling of racemic N-protected amino acids with amino components by means of 2-chloro-4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazine (CDMT) in the presence of chiral tertiary amines such as strychnine, brucine, and sparteine proceeds enantioselectively, affording appropriate amides or dipeptides in 69-85% yield. The configuration of the preferred enantiomer and enantiomeric enrichment depend on the structures o...

Practical Uranalysis and Urinary Diagnosis. By Charles W. Purdy, M.D. Pp. xiv., 357. Philadelphia: The F. A. Davis Co. London: F. J. Rebman. 1894. Dr. Purdy's book is deserving of high praise. He describes a method devised by himself of rapidly determining the amounts after precipitation of the phosphates, chlorides, and sulphates present by means of the centrifugal machine. In testing for albu...

Quinazolinones are interesting molecules with a wide range of biological activities. We prepared a number of quinazolinone derivatives by the condensation of 5-bromo- or 5-nitro-substituted anthranilic acids with chloro-acyl chlorides. Anthranilic acid derivatives were treated with either 3-chloro-propionyl chloride or 4-chloro-butyryl chloride to yield the corresponding N-acyl-anthranilic acid...

The mixed ligand complexes of the type [ML1L2]Cl2. Where M=Cr(III), Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) and L1=Pyruvic acid semicarbazone L2= Benzaldehyde semicarbazone have been synthesized, by the reactions of metal chlorides with two different semicarbazones in 1:1:1 molar ratios. The resulting products have been characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, magnetic measurement, IR and El...

The corrosion of reinforcement is one of the major causes of deterioration of reinforced concrete (RC) structures, considerably affecting their durability and reliability. The rate of reinforcement corrosion is governed by, among other factors, the presence of chlorides on the surface of the steel. The assessment of such deteriorating effects necessitates the development of relevant models and ...

N-Alkyl ammonium resorcinarene salts (NARYs, Y=triflate, picrate, nitrate, trifluoroacetates and NARBr) as tetravalent receptors, are shown to have a strong affinity for chlorides. The high affinity for chlorides was confirmed from a multitude of exchange experiments in solution (NMR and UV/Vis), gas phase (mass spectrometry), and solid-state (X-ray crystallography). A new tetra-iodide resorcin...

In the current work, azo ligand and its Pd (Ⅱ), Cd Zn (Ⅱ) Hg complexes were synthesized, characterized their spectroscopic characteristics studied. The new was synthesized from coupling reaction between 4,5-bis(4-methoxy phenyl)imidazole diazonium salt of 4-Amino benzoic acid in an alkaline medium at 0-5 ᵒC. metal prepared by metals chlorides. All compounds FT-IR, 1H-NMR, Mass spectral analysis...
