Abstract The new Fe(II) complex [Fe(trident)(bmik)](ClO 4 ) 2 ( 1 (trident = bis(2-pyridylmethyl)benzylamine and bmik bis(1-methylimidazole)ketone) exhibits a change of magnetic moment in dichloromethane (DCM) solution upon addition pyridine which is attributed to the Coordination-Induced Spin State Switching effect (CISSS). By attaching photoisomerizable azopyridine sidegroup tridentate ligand...

We report an unexpected β-elimination pathway by which diazeniumdiolated benzylamines of structure Bn-N(R)-N(O)=N-OR' undergo base-mediated fragmentation to generate N(2)O as the only gaseous product. The reaction is especially rapid for R = 2-hydroxyethyl, in which the hydroxyl group anchimerically assists benzylic proton removal with concomitant expulsion of PhCH=NR and R'OH.

Human semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO) is a target for novel anti-inflammatory drugs that inhibit enzymatic activity. However, progress in developing such drugs has been hampered by an incomplete understanding of mechanisms involved in substrate turnover. We report here results of a comparative study of human and bovine SSAO enzymes that reveal binding of substrates and other ligand...

N,N-bis(2-quinolinylmethyl)benzylamine (1) was synthesized under basic conditions from a pseudo-three-component reaction between benzylamine and two molecules of 2-(quinolinylmethyl)chloride, resulting in the formation N–C bonds single step. Compound crystallizes triclinic system P-1 space group. The unit cell comprises dimer 1, which monomers are linked by complementary hydrogen N1 H′1–C′1 ano...

Resveratrol has been reported to inhibit monoamine oxidases (MAO). Many substrates or inhibitors of neuronal MAO interact also with other amine oxidases (AO) in peripheral organs, such as semicarbazide-sensitive AO (SSAO), known as primary amine oxidase, absent in neurones, but abundant in adipocytes. We asked whether phenolic compounds (resveratrol, pterostilbene, quercetin, and caffeic acid) ...

Direct access to complex, enantiopure benzylamine architectures using a synergistic iridium photoredox/nickel cross-coupling dual catalysis strategy has been developed. New C(sp(3))-C(sp(2)) bonds are forged starting from abundant and inexpensive natural amino acids.

an octahedral cobalt(iii) complex, trans-[(me2bpb)co(bzlan)2]clo4 (1), with h2me2bpb = n,n’-(4,5-dimethyl-1,2-phenylene)dipicolinamide and bzlan = benzylamine, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, ir, uv-vis, and 1h nmr spectroscopy. the structure of this complex has been determined by x-ray crystallography. the me2bpb2– is a di-anionic tetradentate ligand furnishing a ...

Photocatalysis is an ecofriendly and sustainable pathway for utilizing solar energy to convert organic molecules. In this context, using light responsive graphene-based materials C–N bond activation coenzyme regeneration (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogen; NADH) one of the utmost important challenging tasks in century. Herein, we report synthesis nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N...
