The title compound, C(18)H(19)NO(5), is a product of the Hantzsch reaction of p-phthalaldehyde, methyl acetoacetate, and ammonium acetate. The 1,4-dihydro-pyridine ring of the mol-ecule adopts a flattened boat conformation. The benzene ring is almost perpendicular to the 1,4-dihydro-pyridine ring; the plane through the six C atoms of the benzene ring and the plane through the four C atoms that ...

The marine natural product dysibetaine was synthesized in racemic form from a levulinic acid derivative using a convertible isocyanide and an ammonium acetate in the Ugi 4-center-3-component condensation reaction.

Synthesis of an assembly of structurally important N-H- and N-substituted acridine-1,8-diones by CAN (ceric ammonium nitrate) catalysed one-pot four-component reaction of electron-deficient and electron-rich aromatic aldehydes and aromatic amines or ammonium acetate and dimedone or cyclohexyl-1,3-diones at 26°C under sonic condition is reported. The method is clean and energy efficient as it us...

Sample preparation and tryptic digestion of the phosphorylated and nonphosphorylated AP2 complex for mass spectrometry. AP2 samples were stored at 4°C and buffer-exchanged twice with 200 mM ammonium acetate, pH 7.5 using microcentrifuge columns (Micro Bio-spin 6, Bio-Rad) before analysis. Buffer exchange and sample introduction were conducted at room temperature. Dissociation of the complex was...

Four protocols viz., the trichloroacetic acid-acetone (TCA), phenol-ammonium acetate (PAA), phenol/SDS-ammonium acetate (PSA) and trisbase-acetone (TBA) were evaluated with modifications for protein extraction from banana (Grand Naine) roots, considered as recalcitrant tissues for proteomic analysis. The two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) separated proteins were compared based on protein yi...

BACKGROUND Caenorhabditis elegans chemosensation has been successfully studied using behavioral assays that treat detection of volatile and water soluble chemicals as separate senses, analogous to smell and taste. However, considerable ambiguity has been associated with the attractive properties of the compound ammonium-acetate (NH(4)Ac). NH(4)Ac has been used in behavioral assays both as a che...

Moisture content (MC) is one of the most important factors that can affect many physical and mechanical properties of wood and veneers. MC strongly affects the final strength and durability of joints, development of surface checks in the wood and dimensional stability of the bonded assembly. In this study, plywood panels made from Alnus glutinosa (Alder), Fagus orientalis (Beech) and Picea orie...

The binding mode of telomestatin to G-quadruplex DNA has been investigated using electrospray mass spectrometry, by detecting the intact complexes formed in ammonium acetate. The mass measurements show the incorporation of one extra ammonium ion in the telomestatin complexes. Experiments on telomestatin alone also show that the telomestatin alone is able to coordinate cations in a similar way a...

a series of tri- and tetra- substituted imidazoles were synthesized from benzyl, aldehyde and ammonium acetate in the presence of zeolite as an ecofriendly reusable catalyst under microwave irradiation in the absence of solvent. the yields are high to excellent and the use of microwave irradiation reduces reaction times to few minute.

The peel of mango (Mangifera indica L.) is a special plant tissue that contains many compounds that interfere with protein extraction. A successful separation with Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) is the key step for proteomic analysis. To evaluate the efficiencies of mango peel protein extraction for 2-DE, four extraction methods were tested: 1) 2-D clean-up kit, 2) trichloroacetic acid/...
