To enhance our understanding of the physiological roles of heme oxygenase (HO) isozymes, HO-1 (inducible) and HO-2 (constitutive), we developed novel imidazole-based HO inhibitors. Unlike the metalloporphyrins, these imidazole-dioxolane compounds are selective for the in vitro inhibition of HO with minimal effects on other heme-dependent enzymes such as nitric oxide synthase and soluble guanyly...

an efficient method has been developed for the catalysis of condensation of 1,2-phenylenediamines and 2-aminothiophenoles with different aldehydes into their corresponding 2-aryl-1h-benzimidazoles and 2-aryl-1h-benzothiazoles under mild condition. in this method, trans-3,5-dihydroperoxy-3,5-dimethyl-1,2-dioxolane (dhpdmdo)/hoac/ki system was used as a novel and effective oxidant in water at roo...

Cyclic acetals of ethylene glycol, cis-but-2-ene-1,4-diol and their dichlorocyclopropyl derivatives were synthesized. Compounds simultaneously containing the gem-dichlorocyclopropane 1,3-dioxacycloalkane cycles are shown to exhibit cytotoxic activity against HEK293, SH-SY5Y, HepG2, MCF-7, A549, Jurkat cell lines. The obtained results open up prospects for further studies antitumor 2-(2,2-dichlo...

The rotational transitions belonging to the pseudorotational bands n = 0→1, n = 2→3, and n = 0→3 has been experimentally observed for 1,3-dioxolane in the spectral region of 153-364 GHz in a supersonic jet environment using the FASSST absorption spectrometer. Based on these observations, the symmetry ordering and the energy spacings of the four lowest states, n = 0,1,2,3, have been established....

A total of twelve novel enantiomerically pure tetra-carbohydrazide cyclophane macrocycles have been synthesised in quantitative yields by reacting chiral (4R,5R)- and (4S,5S)-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dicarbohydrazides with aromatic bis-aldehydes in a [2 + 2]-cyclocondensation reaction. The compounds show a dynamic behaviour in solution, which has been rationalized in terms of an unprecedented conforma...

Synthesis of polyesters bearing pendant amine groups with controlled molecular weights and narrow molecular weight distributions was achieved through ring-opening polymerization of 5-(4-(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)benzyl)-1,3-dioxolane-2,4-dione, an O-carboxyanhydride derived from tyrosine, followed by thiol-yne "click" photochemistry with 2-aminoethanethiol hydrochloride. This class of biodegradable po...

Abstract The lithium-sulfur (Li-S) technology is the most promising candidate for next-generation batteries due to its high theoretical specific energy and steady progress applications requiring lightweight such as aviation or heavy electric vehicles. For these applications, however, rate capability of Li-S cells requires significant improvement. Advanced electrolyte formulations in enable new ...

The title compound, C(11)H(14)F(2)O(4), is a γ,γ-gem-difluorinated α,β-unsaturated δ-lactone. The dioxolane five-membered ring and the lactone ring adopt half-chair conformations. There are two inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-actions involving the carbonyl group as an acceptor which stabilize the crystal structure.
