A carbazole-based triple bridging ligand (LH) consisting of two imidazole moieties at 3,6 positions with a diketone unit at the carbazole nitrogen forms carbazole-bridged zinc(II) complexes with structures of [(L(-))4(Zn(2+))n] (n = 2-6), where the strength of aromatic stacking interactions between the carbazole rings increases with an increase in the number of Zn(2+) ions bridged by the imidaz...

Cerium(III) nitrate hexahydrate efficiently catalyzes the three-component Biginelli reaction under solvent-free conditions of an aldehyde, a beta-keto ester or beta-diketone and urea or thiourea to afford the corresponding 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones or -thiones in excellent yields.

Ferrocenyl-β-diketone ligands have been synthesised by the reaction of (ferrocenyl methyl) trimethyl ammonium iodide (FcCH2N Me3I ), where Fc=C5H5FeC5H4 – with sodium salt of -β-diketone [Na+CH-(COR1) (COR2), where R1= R2=CH 3, R1= CH 3 , R2=Ph, R1= R2=CMe 3 ]. The formula of the ligands (1-3) are FcCH 2 CH(COCH 3 )(COCH 3 ), FcCH 2 CH(COCH 3 )(COPh) and FcCH 2 CH(COCMe 3 ) 2 respectively. The ...

A variety of aromatic trifluoromethyl ketone derivatives has been studied as inhibitors of apoptosis in cerebellar granule neurons (CGNs). Among them, alpha-trifluoromethyl diketone (2) and benzyl trifluoromethyl ketone (11) were found to be apoptosis inhibitors which can prevent a neurodegenerative disease. Compounds 2 and 11 showed neuroprotection effect on low K+-induced apoptosis in CGNs. F...

The title diketone, C(21)H(22)O(2), features a phenyl-ene ring having benzoyl-methyl and cyclo-hexa-noyl substituents ortho to each other. The cyclo-hexyl ring adopts a chair conformation with the ketonic group occupying an equatorial position; the four-atom -C(O)-C ketonic unit is twisted out of the plane of the phenyl-ene ring by 34.9 (1)°.

Perfluoromalonyl difluoride reacts with TMS-CF3 (1:1) in the presence of KF to give the new diketone CF2(C(O)CF3)2. A large excess (5:1) of TMS-CF3 results in the presumed potassium dialkoxide [(CF3)2COK]2CF2 which yields the 1,3-ditertiarydiol [(CF3)2C(OH)]2CF2 on reaction with H2SO4.

A series of beta-diketone derivatives of RGD peptidomimetics that selectively bind to alphavbeta3 and alphavbeta5 integrins were synthesized and covalently docked to the reactive lysine residues of monoclonal aldolase antibody 38C2. The resulting targeting devices strongly and selectively bound to human cancer cells expressing integrins alphavbeta3 and alphavbeta5 as analyzed by flow cytometry....

In this work, the various biological activities of eight organoruthenium(II) complexes were evaluated to reveal correlations with their stability and reactivity in aqueous media. Complexes general formula [Ru(?6-p-cymene)(X,Y)(Z)] prepared, where (X,Y) represents either an O,O-ligand (?-diketone), N,O-ligand (8-hydroxyquinoline) or O,S-pyrithione-type ligands (pyrithione = 1-hydroxypyridine-2(1...

A series of β-diketone hydrazone derivatives have been synthesized through condensation of β-diketone with aromatic aldehydes followed by reaction with phenylhydrazine. The structure of the ligands and intermediates are well defined through elemental and spectroscopic analyses. These hydrazones are potential ligands toward lanthanide metal ions. New complexes of trivalent Scandium, Yttrium, Lan...

A 21-mer peptide that can be used to covalently introduce synthetic molecules into proteins has been developed. Phage-displayed peptide libraries were subjected to reaction-based selection with 1,3-diketones. The peptide was further evolved by addition of a randomized region and reselection for improved binding. The resulting 21-mer peptide had a reactive amino group that formed an enaminone wi...
