Reaction of substituted-aniline (8) with ethyl (l-methyl-5-nitroimidazole-2- carbonyl) acetate (9) gave 4-hydroxy-2-(l-methyl-5-nitro-2-imidazolyl)- substituted-quinolines (lo), which were converted to compound 11 with phosphorus oxychloride. Substituted-2-(l-methyl-5-nitro-2-imidazo1yl)-4.- methyl-(or phenyl-) quinolines (14) were prepared through the reaction of 2- acetyl-5-nitro-1-methy...

Since FOX-7 (1, 1-diamino-2, 2-dinitroethylene) is a relatively new energetic material, little is known about its physical and chemical properties. Therefore, first-principles quantum chemical calculations are used to predict the energies of atoms of FOX-7. Under gentle heating (thermolysis) is likely to cause hydrogen transfer between molecules, producing highly reactive chemical species. Conv...

The multicomponent reaction of 2-nitroacetophenone (or nitroacetone), acetaldehyde diethyl acetal, ?-dicarbonyl compound, and ammonium acetate in an acetic acid solution allowed the acquisition previously undescribed 4-methyl-substituted derivatives 5-nitro-1,4-dihydropyridine satisfactory yields. oxidation obtained resulted corresponding 2,4-dimethyl-5-nitropyridines. In addition, for first ti...

Copper (II) phthalocyanine and 2,9,16,23 tetrakis nitro copper (II) phthalocyaninehas been synthesized respectively from phthalonitrile and 4-nitro phthalonitrile under solvent-free condition using two different catalystsovernanodimensionalzeolites. 4-Nitro phthalonitrile synthesized from phthalimide in three steps. The newly prepared compounds have been characterized by IR, UV-Vis, 1</sup...

Microorganims of the bovine rumen fluid biocatalyzed the reduction of nitro-compound substrates to yield the respective amines. This enzymatic process, using ruminal contents, has rarely been reported in association with the bioreduction of nitro groups. The biotransformation reactions catalyzed by this system were dependent of both the electronic characteristics and the area/volume of the nitr...
