Radical-radical cross coupling reactions of photoexcited 9-fluorenones have been accomplished for the first time, leading to the synthesis of 9-alkyl, pyrollidinyl and spiro-THF derivatives of 9-fluorenones. The method also reveals, for the first time, the behaviour of ketyl radicals in decarboxyaltive alkylation and ring expansion reactions.

The reaction of 6-amino-1,3-dimethylpyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione (1) as a binucleophile with primary aromatic or heterocyclic amines and formaldehyde or aromatic (heterocyclic) aldehydes in a molar ratio (1:1:2) gave the pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidin-2,4-dione ring systems 2-5. Treatment of 1 with diamines and formalin in molar ratio (2:1:4) gave the bis-pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidin-2,4-diones 6-8. Furth...

Organometal halide perovskites have emerged as promising next-generation solar cell technologies presenting outstanding efficiencies. However, many questions concerning their working principles remain to be answered. Here, we present a detailed study of hole transfer dynamics into polymeric hole transporting materials (HTMs), poly(triarylamine) (PTAA), poly(3-hexylthiophee-2,5-diyl (P3HT), and ...

QSAR study describes the anti-neoplastic spiro-alkaloids with relevant molecular descriptors using CODESSA III software. The dispiro[3H-indole-3,2'-pyrrolidine-3',3"-piperidines] 24-48 were synthesized via [3 + 2]-cycloaddition reaction of azomethine ylides, (generated in situ via decarboxylative condensation of isatins 21-23 with sarcosine) and 3E,5E-1-alkyl-3,5-bis(arylmethylidene)-4-piperido...

accumulating evidence indicates that aldosterone plays a critical role in the mediation of oxidative stress and vascular damage. nadph oxidase has been recognized as a major source of oxidative stress in vasculature. however, the relation between nadph oxidase in aldosterone-mediated oxidative stress in endothelial cells remains to be ascertained. the present study aimed to investigate the rele...

interference with microtubule polymerization results in cell cycle arrest leading to cell death. colchicine is a well-known microtubule polymerization inhibitor which does so by binding to a specific site on tubulin. a set of 3',4'-bis (substituted phenyl)-4'h-spiro[indene-2,5'-isoxazol]-1(3h)-one derivatives with known antiproliferative activities were evaluated for their t...

Increasing the number of meso-methine carbons porphyrin has led to a creation series vinylogous expanded porphyrins, while introduction an ortho-phenylene-unit as pyrrole-connecting two-carbon bridge usually leads prevention effective macrocyclic conjugation. Cyclopentene can serve conjugative increase conjugation owing its cis-geometry. In this work, ortho-phenylene-cyclopentene-bridged tetrap...
