In the field of cobalt(II) porphyrin-catalyzed metallo-radical reactions, organic azides have emerged as successful nitrene transfer reagents. In the pursuit of employing ortho-YH substituted (Y = O, NH) aryl azides in Co(II) porphyrin-catalyzed nitrene transfer reactions, unexpected hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) from the OH or NH₂ group in the ortho-position to the nitrene moiety of the key rad...

a simple and facile method for the preparation offe2+ supported on hydroxyapatite-core-shell-γ-fe2o3 nanoparticles (γ-fe2o3@hap-fe2+ nps) as an environmentally friendly and recyclable green catalyst is described and used for the one-pot synthesis of benzimidazoles and benzoxazole derivatives via reactions between aromatic aldehydes and ortho‐phenylenediamine or ortho‐aminophenol in aqueous medi...

The vicinity of a hydrogen bond donor (O–H) and a hydrogen bond acceptor (C=O or C=N– R) in salicylaldehydes and ortho-Schiff bases results in significant structural variations compared to the monosubstituted derivatives that are reflected in the electronic structure and thus in the spectroscopic properties. This interplay between intramolecular hydrogen bonding and multicenter πelectron deloca...

Acetylated betulinic acid ( BA ) was converted into mono-substituted benzylamides 2 – 14 . Screening in SRB assays showed them as cytotoxic for a variety of different human tumor cell lines. While parent not within the limits assay (cut-off 30 ​μM), target amides were cytotoxic. Their bioactivity well their cell/non-tumor selectivity depended on substitution pattern aromatic ring. The most acti...

(-)-alpha-Pinene (1), a major constituent of many aromatic plants was biotransformed by the plant pathogenic fungus, Botrytis cinerea to afford three new metabolites, characterized as 3beta-hydroxy-(-)-beta-pinene (10%) (3), 9-hydroxy-(-)-a-pinene (12%) (4), 4beta-hydroxy-(-)-alpha-pinene-6-one (16%) (5) by physical and spectroscopic methods. A known metabolite verbenone (2) was also obtained.

reaction between aromatic aldehydes and 3–methyl-1-phenyl-2-pyrazoline-5-one catalyzed by nano-sio2/hclo4 in water under reflux provided a simple and efficient route for the synthesis of 4-((5-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1h-pyrazol-4-yl)(aryl)methyl)-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1h-pyrazol-5-ol derivatives in high yields.

The structure of ortho-vanillin, C(8)H(8)O(3), has been revisited with modern methods and at low temperature (100 K). The previous structure [Iwasaki et al. (1976 ▶). Acta Cryst. B32, 1264-1266] is confirmed, but geometric precision is improved by an order of magnitude. The C atom of the meth-oxy group lies close to the benzene ring plane, which is the most common geometry for -OMe groups lying...

Density functional theory (DFT) models including explicit water molecules have been used to model the redox scavenging mechanism of aromatic cyclic seleninates. Experimental studies have shown that methoxy substitutions affect the rate of scavenging of reactive oxygen species differently depending upon the position. Activities are enhanced in the para position, unaffected in the meta, and decre...
