Environmental light regulates the phase of a circadian oscillator in the eye of Aplysia. We are attempting to define the events involved in transmitting light information from the environment to the circadian pacemaking mechanism in the eye. In this paper, we present several lines of evidence that cyclic guanosine 3':5'-monophosphate (cGMP) is involved in the photic entrainment pathway. Light i...

The novel organic salt 7-((5-bromo-1H-indol-3-yl)(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl)1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantan-7-ium tetrafluoroborate was synthesized from a Lewis acid (LA) and Lewis-base (LB) reaction between 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadmantane 5-bromo-3-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-3-H-indol-1-ium (LA). obtained base adduct, being the title compound, analyzed validated by 1H, 13C, 31P, 19F 1D-NMR-spectrosco...

The crystal structures of four bromo-arenes based on 2,6-di-methyl-bromo-benzene are reported, which are differentiated according the functional group X placed para to the Br atom: X = CN (4-bromo-3,5-di-methyl-benzo-nitrile, C9H8BrN), (1), X = NO2 (2-bromo-1,3-dimethyl-5-nitro-benzene, C8H8BrNO2), (2), X = NH2 (4-bromo-3,5-di-methyl-aniline, C8H10BrN), (3) and X = OH (4-bromo-3,5-di-methyl-phe...

Synthesis of 2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenylmethyl-3-[4-(2-substitutedphenyl-4-oxo-thiazolidinyl)aryl]-6-bromo quinazolin-4(3H)ones VIa-j have been achieved from the starting material 2-[(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino] phenylacetic acid I to benzoxazine III, Further reaction with p-phenylindiamine and substituted aromatic aldehyde gave 2-[2-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenyl methyl-3-(4-aminoary...
