A novel intramolecular annulation of 1-(2-alkynylphenoxy)propan-2-ones catalyzed by iron, an economical and environmentally-benign transition metal, has been developed; this new atom-economical route includes dual C-H functionalizations to construct the naphthalen-1-ol or anthracen-1-ol skeletons.

Naphthylhydrazone derivative, 1-[(2-Hydroxy-4,6-dimethoxy-benzylidene)-hydrazonomethyl]-naphthalen-2-ol (H2L), an Aggregation Induced Emission (AIE) active probe emerges out as a promising solid-state emitter upon exercising restricted intramolecular rotation (RIR) in ordered J-type self-assembly and...

The title compound, C(32)H(36)Br(2)O(2), was prepared by the reaction of 6-bromo-1-(2-bromo-6-hydroxy-naphthalen-5-yl)-naphthalen-2-ol and 1-iodo-hexane. The dihedral angle between the naphthalene ring planes is 63.8 (9)° The crystal structure may be stabilized by two very weak π-π inter-actions involving the six-membered rings, with centroid-centroid distances of 4.012 (4) and 4.010 (4) Å. The...

In the title compound, C(22)H(23)NO, the dihedral angle between the naphthyl ring system and the benzene ring is 73.32 (6)°. An intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond stabilizes the mol-ecular conformation. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯π inter-actions, resulting in zigzag chains parallel to the [10] direction.

Under nitrogen-limiting, secondary metabolic conditions, the white rot basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium extensively mineralized the specifically 14C-ring-labeled azo dyes 4-phenylazophenol, 4-phenylazo-2-methoxyphenol, Disperse Yellow 3 [2-(4'-acetamidophenylazo)-4-methylphenol], 4-phenylazoaniline, N,N-dimethyl-4-phenylazoaniline, Disperse Orange 3 [4-(4'-nitrophenylazo)-aniline], and...

Breast cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a sub-population of tumour that can promote breast relapse and metastasis. Current treatments unable to completely remove CSCs, therefore it is essential develop new chemotherapeutics CSCs at clinically compatible doses. Here we present the synthesis, characterisation, anti-breast CSC properties copper(II) complexes, [Cu(L2)(1,10-phenanthroline)]PF6 (2) [Cu(L...
