A new trehazolin analogue, 1-thiatrehazolin, has been synthesized from carbohydrate precursors by a highly efficient route based on our previously developed ketone/oxime ether reductive carbocyclization reaction for the construction of the cyclitol ring and an intramolecular nucleophilic displacement reaction for the construction of the thiazoline ring. 1-Thiatrehazolin is a very potent, slow, ...

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(23)H(28)N(2)O, exists in a twin-chair conformation, with equatorial orientation of the ortho-tolyl groups on both sides of the secondary amino group. The title oxime compound and its ketone precursor 2,4-bis-(2-methyl-phen-yl)-3-aza-bicyclo-[3.3.1]nonan-9-one exhibit similar stereochemistries, with the orientation of the o-tolyl rings almost identical in b...

Inhibition of synaptic acetylcholinesterase (AChE) by organophosphate (OP) nerve agents is the main reason for their toxicity. Oximes are used as antidotes to reactivate nerve agent-inhibited AChE. To understand the mechanism of oxime-induced reactivation, we generated several mutant AChEs. Reactivation studies conducted with wild-type and mutant AChEs revealed that the peripheral anionic site ...

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(20)H(20)N(2)O(6), lies across a crystallographic inversion centre, the asymmetric unit comprising one half-mol-ecule. An intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond generates a six-membered ring, producing an S(6) ring motif. Pairs of inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link neighbouring mol-ecules into a layer with R(2) (2)(38) ring motif. The crystal structure ...
