The metabolism of platelet-activating factor (PAF, 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) and lyso-PAF (1-O-alkyl-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine) was investigated in FRTL5 cells, a normal rat thyroid cell line. FRTL5 cells incorporated [3H]PAF and deacetylated this compound to the corresponding [3H]lyso-PAF which was not accumulated or secreted but converted mainly to alkyl-acyl-ph...

Efficient technologies/processes for CO(2) capture are greatly desired, and ionic liquids are recognized as promising materials for this purpose. However, the mechanisms for selectively capturing CO(2) by ionic liquids are unclear. In this study, the interactions between CO(2) and 1-n-amino-alkyl-3-methyl-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate, an amino imidazolium ionic liquid (AIIL), in its CO(2) capt...

The reactivity of heterobimetallic Zr/Co complexes linked by phosphinoamide ligands towards the oxidative addition of I(2) and alkyl halides is reported. These reactions are accompanied by dissociation of one phosphine ligand from Co and eta(2)-coordination to Zr. Addition of H(2) leads to both oxidative addition across the M-M bond and P-N bond cleavage.

Microwave assisted CpCo(CO)(2) catalyzed cross-cyclotrimerizations of 1,7,9,15-hexadecatetrayne with two different nitriles to give unsymmetrically substituted bis(tetrahydroisoquinolines) was studied. The reaction proceeded with a range of alkyl and aryl nitriles with reasonable isolated yields.

1-Butyl-3-methyl-pyridinium-dicyanamide (BMP-dca) is carbonised with tetra-alkyl-phosphonium-bromide additives yielding nitrogen- and phosphorus-co-doped carbons with enhanced BET surface areas promoted by the additives.

In this paper, we discuss our new synthetic approach towards functionalized benzo[d]thiazolyl (BT) sulfones, based on the reunion of alkyl BT sulfones and various electrophiles (e.g. R-CO-X, RO-CO-X, RS-CO-X, Ts-X…). All important aspects of this coupling reaction, including relevant and undesirable side reactions, are evaluated by means of calculations and competitive experiments. The scope an...

An account of our studies on the metabolic fate of toluene, ethyl-, i8opropyland tert.-butyl-benzenes has been given in earlier papers (Smith, Smithies & Williams, 1954a, b, c; Robinson, Smith & Williams, 1955; Robinson & Williams, 1955). The present paper deals with n-propyland n-butyl-benzenes. These two compounds were previously studied by Thierfelder & Klenk (1924), who showed that npropylb...
