polyethylene glycol was easily grafted to silica gel and used as a solid–liquid phase transfer catalyst in the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds. this silica-grafted polyethylene glycol is proved to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst in the reduction of nitroarenes to the corresponding aromatic amines with zinc powder in water. the reduction reactions proceeded efficiently with excellen...

A sodium salt of 2-(fur-2-yl)-6-nitro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7-one as a close structural analogue ZM-241385 was obtained. This heterocycle can serve an effector for A2a adenosine receptors and possesses antiseptic activity. The structures compounds were confirmed based on the data 1H, 13C NMR spectroscopy, IR elemental analysis. structure 2-furyl-6-nitro-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7...

The ring system in the title compound, C(14)H(4)N(4)O(12), is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation of the carbon atoms = 0.085 Å); the two hydr-oxy groups form intra-molecular hydrogen bonds to the same carbonyl O atom. The nitro groups are twisted with respect to the mean plane of the ring system by 74.3 (1) (1-nitro), 42.3 (3) (3-nitro), 45.7 (3) (6-nitro) and 66.9 (1)° (8-nitro).

The title compound, C(2)H(8)N(+)·C(6)H(4)NO(3) (-)·C(6)H(5)NO(3), was synthesized from dimethyl-amine and 4-nitro-phenol in an overall yield of 85%. The dihdral angles between the nphenyl rings and their attached nitro groups are 5.7 (6) and 2.5 (7)°. In the crystal, there are strong hydrogen bonds between the ammonium group and the nitro-phenol and nitro-phenolate O atoms, and between the nitr...

Nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (nitro-PAHs) are a class of genotoxic environmental contaminants. We have long been interested in determining the mechanisms by which nitro-PAHs induce genotoxicity. Although the metabolic activation of nitro-PAHs leading to toxicological activities has been well studied, the photo-induced activation of nitro-PAHs has seldom been reported. In this paper, w...

zno and zro2 photo catalysts were synthesized by sol-gel auto combustion method. the products were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). structural and morphological properties of nano particles were investigated and the average crystalline size of zno and zro2 was obtained 44 and 51 nm, respectively. also, photo catalytic degradation of nitro phenol f...

Aq4{5-Nitro-2-furyl)-2-thiazolyl]acetamide (NFTA), fed to female Swiss mice at doses of 0.05 and 0.1% of the diet, induced a high incidence of lymphocytic leukemia and a low incidence of forestomach tumors. Several other chemicals structurally related to NFTA were also fed to female Swiss mice to determine structure-activity relationships with respect to organ specificity. 7V-[4-(5-Nitro-2-fury...

8-Nitro-cGMP is an endogenous nucleotide discovered under inflammation conditions as an important mediator of nitric oxide (NO) signaling. Besides cGMP-like behaviour, 8-nitro-cGMP exerts unique cytoprotective effects against oxidative stress. Although the formation of 8-nitro-cGMP from 8-nitro-GTP has previously been proposed, the mechanism by which excess or unused 8-nitro-cGMP is removed fro...
