A new carotenoid has been isolated from the chicken retina for which the name galloxanthin is proposed. This substance has the properties of a hydroxy carotenoid or xanthophyll. It has not yet been crystallized. On a chromatogram of calcium carbonate it is adsorbed just below astaxanthin and above lutein. The absorption spectrum of galloxanthin lies in a region where natural carotenoids have no...

Regular stibnite (Sb(2)S(3)) nanorods with diameters of 20-40 nm and lengths of 220-350 nm have been successfully synthesized by a sonochemical method under ambient air from an ethanolic solution containing antimony trichloride and thioacetamide. The as-prepared Sb(2)S(3) nanorods are characterized by employing techniques including X-ray powder diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, sca...

Arylamides of 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid are widely used in the production organic azo pigments, as medicines and pesticides.
 Titanium tetrachloride, tetrabutoxytitanium polybutoxytitanates, previously for synthesis most important them., anilide by boiling latter aniline (184 °C), proved to be ineffective catalysts carrying out this reaction ortho-xylene.

Highly substituted piperidines were synthesized via the condensation of aromatic aldehydes and aromatic amines with β-ketoesters in the presence of antimony(III) chloride at ambient condition. This reaction has any advantages such as easy work-up, clean procedure, and good yields.
