N-[2-(Cyclohexylamino)-2-oxoethyl]-N-(4-octyloxy)phenyl-prop-2-enamide was prepared in good yield by coupling of 4(octyloxy)aniline, Cyclohexyl isocyanide, paraformaldehyde and acrylic acid by multicomponent Ugi reaction, at room temperature. The structure of the newly synthesized tripeptoid derivative was well characterized using elemental analysis, FTIR, NMR and mass spectral data.

in this study, the synthesis of 4 h -chromenes of biological activity via a multicomponent reaction of dimedone, aromatic aldehydes and malononitrile catalyzed by glutamic acid as a catalyst was investigated. the structural features of the synthesized compounds were characterized by melting point, ir and 1 h nmr analysis. the catalyst being reported here is cheap, safe to handle and the whole p...

DURING A STUDY on the metabolism of histidine in a child affected with histidinemia (Beauvais, P., and Humbel, R., to be published), we became interested in the chromatography of imidazoles. In this disease the urine contains numerous imidazoles: histidine and its metabolites, imidazole-pyruvic, imidazole-lactic and imidazole-acetic acids and N-acetylhistidine.’I developed a chromatographic met...

Solid-state polymer electrolytes offer a safer alternative to traditional lithium-ion batteries based on organic electrolytes. The focus is here imidazole(Im)-functionalized electrolytes, where the Im ligand promotes salt dissolution, while its functionalization allows tuning dynamic interactions between cations in solution and tethered backbone. Although careful choice of backbone linker funct...

The ability of calcium to induce phase separation in multicomponent lipid mixtures containing various unsaturated species of acidic and neutral phospholipids has been investigated by 31P NMR, 3H NMR, and small-angle X-ray diffraction techniques. It is shown that, in unsaturated (dioleoyl-) phosphatidylglycerol (PG)/phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) (1:1) and phosphatidic acid (PA)/phosphatidylcholi...

When it comes to structural biology, bigger really is better. Most biological processes are performed by enormous multicomponent complexes, such as the ribosome. To solve the structures of these monsters, biologists traditionally have used two different but complementary techniques, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and X-ray crystallography. They have had considerable success using the latter t...

1. Introduction Practical applications of zeolites and other nanoporous materials always involve at least two different components, but understanding of multicomponent diffusion in zeolites is limited and experimental data are scarce. The elements of the multicomponent Fickian diffusion tensor for a given system may depend on the total loading of adsorbed molecules, the adsorbed-phase compositi...

This work deals with multicomponent complex formation of vinpocetine (VP) with beta-cyclodextrin (betaCD), sulfobutyl ether beta-cyclodextrin (SBEbetaCD) and tartaric acid (TA), in the presence or absence of water-soluble polymers, in aqueous solution. Complexation was monitored by phase-solubility and proton nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H NMR) studies. TA demonstrated a synergistic effect on...

High resolution proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) can be used for multicomponent analysis of low molecular weight compounds in small amounts of intact biological materials and biological fluids. It can provide useful qualitative and quantitative biochemical information without the necessity of any pretreatment such as extraction, separation, or purification. The NMR spectra of serum, plas...
