1. The fate of (+)-[U-(14)C]catechin and (+)-[ring A-(14)C]catechin has been studied in the guinea pig and rat. 2. (+)-[U-(14)C]Catechin was shown to give rise to labelled phenolic acids, labelled phenyl-gamma-valerolactones and (14)CO(2). 3. (+)-[ring A-(14)C]-Catechin did not give rise to labelled phenolic acids, but labelled phenyl-gamma-valerolactones were detected together with a higher pr...

1. Organophosphorus compounds that produce a delayed neurotoxic effect in hens phosphorylate a specific site in the brain soon after administration. 2. Phosphorylation of the specific site by di-isopropyl [(32)P]phosphorofluoridate in vitro is blocked by the prior addition of phenyl phenylacetate. 3. A small proportion of the total activity of hen brain hydrolysing phenyl phenylacetate in vitro...

The use of surface-bound alkyl and phenyl groups as synthetic vehicles in coupling reactions on oxygen-activated Au(111) is demonstrated by the formation of ethers via alkyl and phenyl iodides. Ethers are formed by successive additions of surface-bound alkyl groups to adsorbed atomic oxygen to form first the alkoxy and then the ether. The addition of the ethyl group to adsorbed oxygen on Au(111...

The title compound, [Au2(C27H26P2)2][NiCl4]·C4H10O, consists of a digold(I) complex cation, an [NiCl4](2-) complex anion and a diethyl ether solvent mol-ecule. Two 1,3-bis-(di-phenyl-phosphan-yl)propane (dppp) ligands bridge two Au(I) atoms, forming a metallacycle in which each of the Au(I) atoms is coordinated in a slightly distorted linear environment by two P atoms. In the complex anion, the...

The asymmetric unit of the title mol-ecular salt, C10H16N(+)·C10H5N4O7(-) (trivial name: N,N-diethyl-anilinium 2,4-dinitro-phenyl-barbiturate), comprises two anion-cation units. In the anions, the dinitro-phenyl ring and the mean plane of the barbiturate ring [planar to within 0.011 (2) and 0.023 (2) Å in the two anions] are inclined to one another by 41.47 (9) and 45.12 (9)°. In the crystal, t...

R,R'-disubstituted sulfoximines were phosphorylated with O,O-diethylchloro phosphate and phosphorothionate to obtain new organophosphorus compounds. After purification they were characterized by GC-MS and (1)H-NMR. The toxicity of the synthesized O,O-diethyl N-(R,R'-disubstituted sulfoximine) phosphoro-amidothionates was assayed on Musca domestica. It was found that the methyl phenyl derivative...

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of tripod-shaped trithiols, consisting of an adamantane core with three CH2SH legs and a bithiophene group, were prepared on a Au(111) surface. Adsorption in a tripod-like fashion was supported by polarization modulation-infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (PM-IRRAS) of the SAMs, which indicated the absence of free SH groups. Cyclic voltammetry showed an...

The stereoselective synthesis of diethyl (S)or (R)-IX-[( O-pivaloylhexapyranosyl)amino]benzylphosphonates is achieved via Lewis acid catalyzed addition of diethyl phosphite to O-pivaloylated Nbenzylidene-{3-D-galactosylamine or N-benzylidene-IX-D-arabinopyranosylamine. The process can also be performed by a one-pot procedure selectively giving (S)-aminophosphonic acid derivatives from galactosy...

The pollution status and characteristics of PAEs (phthalate esters) were investigated in indoor air of offices, and PAEs of both gas-phase and particulate-phase were detected in all the samples. The concentration (sum of the gas phase and the particulate phase) was 4748.24 ng/m3, ranging between 3070.09 and 6700.14 ng/m3. Diethyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, and di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate were...

In the title compound, C(27)H(30)N(3)O(3)P, the pyrazole ring is essentially planar [maximum deviation = 0.002 (2) Å] and it forms dihedral angles of 9.3 (1) and 40.2 (1)°, respectively, with the phenyl rings attached to the N and C atoms. In the crystal, pairs of centrosymmetrically related mol-ecules are linked into dimers by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
