In the title compound, 2C(18)H(16)N(2)O(2)·H(2)O, the dihedral angles between the quinoline rings and the benzene rings in the two independent acetamide mol-ecules are 80.09 (5) and 61.23 (5)°. The crystal packing is stablized by O-H⋯N and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the acetamide and water mol-ecules.

The anaerobic biodegradation of naphthalene, an aromatic hydrocarbon in tar and petroleum, has been repeatedly observed in environments but scarcely in pure cultures. To further explore the relationships and physiology of anaerobic naphthalene-degrading microorganisms, sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) were enriched from a Mediterranean sediment with added naphthalene. Two strains (NaphS3, NaphS6...

Previous studies have shown variability in naphthalene cytotoxicity, expression of CYP2F2 gene and protein, and naphthalene metabolism in random cycling female mice (NIH:Swiss). CYP2F2 metabolizes naphthalene to cytotoxic metabolites in lungs of mice. This study was designed to address the question: do hormonal changes associated with the estrous cycle alter metabolism of naphthalene in the lun...

In the macrocyclic title compound, C(26)H(12)Cl(2)N(6)O(4), an O-atom-bridged calix[2]naphthalene-[2]triazine synthesized using a one-pot approach from naphthalene-2,7-diol and cyanuric chloride, the two isolated naphthalene planes and the two triazine-2,6-di-oxy planes adopt a 1,3-alternate configuration, with a dihedral angle of 84.10 (8)° between the naphthalene rings and a dihedral angle of...

The possible presence of a urea transporter in the kidney of the gulf toadfish (Opsanus beta) and further characterization of the pulsatile facilitated transporter previously identified in its gills were investigated by comparing the extra-renal and renal handling of two urea analogues with the handling of urea. Toadfish were fitted with caudal artery and indwelling urinary ureteral catheters a...

one pot solvent less synthesis of amidoalkylnaphthol derivatives via reaction of aldehydes, 2-naphthol and acetamide/urea in the presence of phenylphosphinic acid is  described. this methodology provides a simple synthetic route to amidoalkylnaphthols in good to high yields.

Bouchard and Charrin (1) have observed that the repeated administration of naphthalene to rabbits causes the formation of cataracts. Lesnick (2) has been able to isolate cr-naphthylglycuronate from the urine of dogs which were fed naphthalene. Edelfsen (3) and Igersheimer and Ruben (4) have confirmed the observation of Lesnick (2) by applying color reactions to the urine of dogs which were fed ...
