We report the synthesis and X-ray crystal structures of three acyclic CB[n]-type molecular containers (2a, 2h, 2f) that differ in the charge on their solubilizing groups (SO3(−), OH, NH3(+)). The X-ray crystal structures of compounds 2h and 2f reveal a self-folding of the ArOCH2CH2X wall into the cavity driven by π–π interactions, H-bonds and ion–dipole interactions. The need to reverse this se...

Various N-substituted benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-ones and their non-selenium-containing analogues have been synthesized and tested against selected viruses (HHV-1, EMCV and VSV) to determine the extent to which selenium plays a role in antiviral activity. The data presented here show that the presence of selenium is crucial for the antiviral properties of benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-ones since their iso...

3.2 Likelihood equations and errors-in-variables regression; Solari's example.. Here is a case, noted by Solari (1969), where the likelihood equations (3.1.1) have solutions, none of which are maximum likelihood estimates. be observed points in the plane. Suppose we want to do a form of " errors in variables " regression, in other words to fit the data by a straight line, assuming normal errors...

New chiral camphane-derived benzisoselenazol-3(2H)-ones and corresponding diselenides have been synthetized using a convenient one-pot procedure. Se-N bond was efficiently converted to an Se-Se bond, which could also be easily re-oxidized to the initial benzisoselenazolone moiety. The antioxidant activity of camphor derivatives was evaluated and compared to the reactivity of a series of N-amino...

A ruthenium-catalyzed intermolecular [3 + 2] cycloaddition of 2H-azirines and activated alkynes is reported, which provides polysubstituted pyrroles in moderate to good yields. This approach features a C-N bond cleavage of 2H-azirines by a ruthenium catalyst. The results of this study would provide a complementary method to synthesize polysubstituted pyrroles from the known 2H-azirine approache...

We give a deterministic O(hn1+1/h)-time (2h)-approximation nonadaptive algorithm for 1-median selection in n-point metric spaces, where h ∈ Z+ \ {1} is arbitrary. Our proof generalizes that of Chang [2].

Introduction: Oxidative stress and resulting lipid peroxidation are involved in numerous pathological conditions. For this reason, the role of antioxidants attracts attention radical-scavenging capacity many natural synthetic supplements drugs has been extensively evaluated. Material methods: In present study, seven N,N'-disubstituted benzimidazole-2-thiones with ester (1 - 4) hydrazide (5 7) s...

1,1,1-Trimethylhydrazinium iodide ([(CH(3))(3)N-NH(2)]I, 1) was reacted with a silver salt to form the corresponding nitrate ([(CH(3))(3)N-NH(2)][NO(3)], 2), perchlorate ([(CH(3))(3)N-NH(2)][ClO(4)], 3), azide ([(CH(3))(3)N-NH(2)][N(3)], 4), 5-amino-1H-tetrazolate ([(CH(3))(3)N-NH(2)][H(2)N-CN(4)], 5), and sulfate ([(CH(3))(3)N-NH(2)](2)[SO(4)]·2H(2)O, 6·2H(2)O) salts. The metathesis reaction o...
