Phenols and aryl thiols are fundamental building blocks in organic synthesis and final products with interesting biological activities. Over the past decades, substantial progress has been made in transition-metal-catalyzed coupling reactions, which resulted in the emergence of new methods for the synthesis of phenols and aryl thiols. Aryl halides have been extensively studied as substrates for...

The effect of phenols containing different electron-withdrawing substituents on the potentiometric responses of several liquid PVC membranes containing the complex trioctylmethylammonium-nitrate, TOMA(+)NO(3)(-), is analyzed. The results make it possible to separate these phenols into two groups; those phenols containing electron-releasing groups, which produce almost Nernstian slopes, and thos...

A series of p- and m-substituted phenols were examined for their effect on the cyclooxygenase activity of prostaglandin H synthase in 0.1 M phosphate buffer at pH 8.0 and 25.0 +/- 0.1 degrees C. A biphasic response was observed. At low concentrations phenols stimulate, but at higher concentrations inhibit, cyclooxygenase activity. Both enhancement and inhibition are increased by phenolic substi...

Electrochemical oxidation of some p-substituted phenols (p-nitrophenol, p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, phenol, p-cresol, and p-methoxyphenol) with electron-donating and -withdrawing substituents was studied to reveal the relationship between the structure and the electrochemical reactivity of p-substituted phenols using a boron-doped diamond electrode by voltammetry and bulk electrolysis. Voltammetric ...

the kinetics of iodination of the phenol and substituted phenols using pyridiniumiodochloride in methanol has been studied under varying conditions. the rates show first orderkinetics each in pyridinium iodochloride and phenols. the rates of reactions are measured atdifferent temperature and activation parameters for all phenols computed. hammett plot is foundto be valid and the corrletion betw...

INTRODUCTION Phenols are the most abundant compounds in nature. They are strong antioxidants. Too high level of free radicals leads to cell and tissue damage, which may cause asthma, Alzheimer disease, cancers, etc. Taking phenolics with the diet as supplements or natural medicines is important for homeostasis of the organism. MATERIALS AND METHODS The ten most popular water soluble phenols w...

This study reviews waste water characterization of iron and steel industry and treatment procedures involved in these industries. The production of iron from its ores involves powerful reduction reaction in blast furnaces. Cooling waters are inevitably contaminated with products especially ammonia and cyanide. Production of coke from coal in coking plants also requires water cooling and the use...

The miscibility behavior in blends containing poly(4-vinyl pyridine) (P4VPy) and poly(2-vinyl pyridine) (P2VPy) as polymer components and the dihydric phenols 4,4’-thiodiphenol (TDP) and 4,4’-methylendiphenol (MDP) as low molecular weight compounds (LMWC), was studied by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometry (FTIR) as main analytical techniques...
