In the title compound, C(28)H(20)BrNO(3)S, the thia-zolidine, pyrrolidine and two five-membered carbocyclic rings are in envelope conformations. The bromo-bound phenyl ring forms dihedral angles of 61.97 (18) and 88.30 (17)° with the other two benzene rings. The two benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 30.3 (2)°. The mol-ecular structure features an intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond, which ...

Two monomeric dihydrodiol dehydrogenases with pI values of 5.4 and 7.6 were co-purified with androsterone dehydrogenase activity to homogeneity from human liver. The two enzymes differed from each other on peptide mapping and in their heat-stabilities; with respect to the latter the dihydrodiol dehydrogenase and 3 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activities of the respective enzymes were simi...

The indan system occurs in several natural products of biological relevance. The most common approaches for synthesizing such molecules are either the direct modification of substrates that already bear the indan skeleton or the cycloaddition reactions. In a previous paper, we have reported the preparation of the hydrindan system by thallium trinitrate (TTN) mediated ring contraction of 2-decal...

The oxidation of 2-(3,4-dihydronaphthalen-1-yl)-ethanol (1) with a variety of thallium(III) salts was investigated. An indan, formed by a ring contraction reaction, was obtained in good to moderate yields under a variety of reaction conditions: i) thallium triacetate (TTA) in aqueous AcOH; ii) thallium tris-trifluoroacetate (TTFA) in aqueous TFA; iii) TTFA in CH(2)Cl(2); iv) thallium tripropion...

Indanones are very useful molecules as starting building blocks for the synthesis of biologically active compounds. A series of novel curcumin-related compounds containing indan-2-one were synthesized and screened for anticancer activities. The structures were confirmed by spectral data (IR, NMR, and Mass). Inhibitory effects of these compounds on the growth of prostate cancer PC-3 cells, pancr...

The title compound, C(22)H(19)NO(2), has potential for use as a new nonlinear optical material. Mol-ecules are almost planar. One C atom of the heterocyclic ring system is disordered over two positions; the site occupancy factors are 0.6 and 0.4.

In the title compound, C(18)H(17)NO, the dihydro-indene ring system is approximately planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.041 (2) Å. This ring system is almost coplanar with the benzene ring, making a dihedral angle of 5.22 (9)°. In the crystal, inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into chains along the b axis.
