The title compound, C(45)H(34)O(4), is the product of a tandem 'pincer' Diels-Alder reaction consisting of two consecutive [4 + 2] cyclo-additions between two 2-benzofuran units and ethyl propiolate. The mol-ecule comprises a fused hexa-cyclic system containing four five-membered rings, which are in the usual envelope conformation, and two six-membered rings. In addition, four phenyl rings are ...

The title compound, C(16)H(18)ClNO(3), was obtained by the organocatalytic asymmetric Michael addition of cyclo-hexa-none to 1-chloro-4-[(1E,3E)-4-nitro-buta-1,3-dien-yl]benzene. The double bond has an E configuration. The cyclo-hexa-none ring adopts a chair conformation. The conformation of the mol-ecule is stabilized by a weak intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond.

In the title mol-ecule, C(15)H(18)O(2)S, the dimethyl-cyclo-hexa-diene unit is slightly non-planar, having a folded conformation with the two double-bond planes forming a dihedral angle of 3.9 (6)°. Methyl groups of the dimethyl-cyclo-hexa-diene ring tilt away from each other, forming inter-nal C-C-C(Me) angles approximately 11° greater than the exterior angles.

The title mol-ecule, C(23)H(31)NO, has two alternative cyclo-hexa-none configurations at the 4-position in a ratio of 0.663 (3):0.337 (3). The plane of the five-membered planar ring in the indolin-2-yl-idene subtends an angle of 2.19 (7)° with its fused aromatic ring, an angle of 16.24 (8)° with the plane of the major cyclo-hexa-none configuration and an angle of 8.54 (15)° with the bridging pl...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Mn3(C12H6O12)(H2O)6] n , comprises one Mn(II) ion, one third of a cyclo-hexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexa-carboxyl-ate anion and two aqua ligands. The anion is completed by application of a -3 axis. The Mn(II) ion is six-coordinated by six O atoms from two aqua ligands and three different cyclo-hexa-carboxyl-ate anions in an octa-hedral geometry. The six carbox...

The success of childhood vaccination against hepatitis B relies on persistence of immunity into adolescence and adulthood. In 2000, two hexavalent vaccines with a hepatitis B component (Hexavac, Infanrix hexa) were introduced in Germany. Hexavac was withdrawn in 2005 amidst concerns about its long-term hepatitis B protection. We compared hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) levels in childre...

In the title compound, C(20)H(24)N(4) (2+)·2PF(6) (-), the ethene and 3-allyl-imidazolium moieties of the cation are disordered over two positions with refined site occupancies of 0.664 (19):0.336 (19) and 0.784 (7):0.216 (7), respectively, whereas four F atoms of one hexa-fluoridophosphate anion and all atoms in the other hexa-fluoridophosphate anion are disordered over two positions with refi...

The structure of the title compound, C(19)H(28)O(2), has been redermined at 295 (2) K, with much improved precision. The structure and mol-ecular packing of the title compound was first reported by Coiro et al. [Acta Cryst. (1973). B29, 1404-1409] by means of potential-energy calculations. The cell parameters in this study differ considerably in space group C2. It is a derivative of testosteron...

Birch and eucalyptus kraft pulps were treated with sulfite solutions in neutral conditions (pH 7) at 170 °C for 60 min and at 190 °C for 180 min. The pulps were analyzed for kappa number, viscosity, carbohydrate composition, and optical properties. Additionally, UV resonance Raman (UVRR) spectroscopy was applied to collect information on the contents of hexenuronic acid (HexA), lignin, and its ...

Some synthetically useful transformations of organosilicon compounds have been developed since the mid 1970s, based on the new concept that the silicon-carbon bonds are activated toward electrophilic cleavage via the formation of penta- and hexa-coordinate species. This review mainly consists of the following aspects: (1) a general concept for the activation of the silicon-carbon bond via penta...
