3,5-Di-t-butylhydroxytoluene (compound I) was converted into 4-hydroperoxy-4-methyl-2,6-di-t-butylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone (compound II), 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2,6-di-t-butylcyclohexa-2,5-dienone (compound III) and 2,6-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxymethylphenol (compound IV) by rat liver microsomal preparations in the presence of NADPH and air. The oxidation of compound (I) by m-chloroperbenzoic acid also prod...

Flavobacterium meningosepticum IFO 12535, a menaquinone (MK) producer, was mutagenized to improve productivity. A mutant, which was resistant to 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate (HNA), was found to produce MK more abundantly: 34 mg/liter of culture broth and 5.5 mg/g of dry cells. The mutant was less sensitive to inhibition by HNA on MK biosynthesis than the wild-type strain. MK was isolated from cells o...

We report here in vitro and in vivo antitumour activity study of a series of 1,3-dimethyl-N substituted acridone derivatives. All the molecules have been designed on the basis of the presence of specific recognition patterns consisting of electron donor, carbons. Chloro groups with precise spatial separation and structural features (lipophilicity, positive charge at neutral pH and presence of a...

An efficient and convenient approach for one-pot synthesis of 3-substituted chroman-2,4-diones via a three-component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, 4-hydroxy-coumarins and diverse pyrazolone derivatives was described. The combinatorial synthesis for this methodology was achieved by applying ultrasound irradiation in the absence of activator while making use of water as green solvent. Additiona...

A series of peracylated glycosamine-derived thioureas have been synthesized and their behavior as bifunctional organocatalysts has been tested in the enantioselective nucleophilic addition of formaldehyde tert-butyl hydrazone to aliphatic α-keto esters for the synthesis of tertiary azomethyl alcohols. Using the 1,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-amino-2-deoxy-β-d-glucosamine derived 3,5-bis-(trifluoromet...

In this study, a series of syntheses was conducted on the pyrimidine system, obtaining bisulfite carboxyl derivatives 4 and hydroxy derivatives 5. In addition, a series of syntheses were carried out as a result of which both alkyl and aromatic amines were obtained. Then, the attempt was made to cyclize these amines in the Mannich reaction to pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidines 11, 12. After determinatio...

Maleic anhydride was reacted with p-aminophenol and p-toluidine in the presence of di-phosphorus pentoxide (P₂O₅) as a catalyst to produce two compounds: N-(4-hydroxy-phenyl)maleimide (I) and N-(4-methylphenyl)maleimide (II). The new azo compounds I(a-c) and II(a-c) were prepared by the reaction of I and II with three different aromatic amines, namely aniline, p-aminophenol and p-toluidine. The...

THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: (E)-1-(2-hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one], C(17)H(16)O(4), has an aromatic ring at both ends of the -CH= CH-C(=O)- fragment with the -CH=CH- bond in a trans configuration. The phenyl ring is nearly coplanar with this fragment [dihedral angle 4.8 (3) °] as is the hy-droxy-ldimeth-oxy-lphenyl unit [dihedral angle 6.3 (3) °]. The hy-droxy g...

In this manuscript, we report clear evidence for the generation of aromatic cation radicals produced by using [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]benzene (HTIB) in fluoroalcohol solvents such as 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP). The single-electron-transfer (SET) oxidation ability of HTIB to give cation radicals was first established by ESR and UV measurements. The r...

A Schiff base 3 has been synthesized by equimolar reaction (condensation) of sulfonamide i.e. sulfamethoxypyridazine 1 and substituted aromatic aldehyde i.e. 2-Hydroxy-1-Napthalene aldehyde 2. The synthesized Schiff base 3 and its Metal (II) complexes were characterized by its physical, analytical (CHN analysis) and spectral (UV & IR) analysis. The Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bac...
