The synthesis of 3-alkyl(aryl)-4-(3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzylidenamino)-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones 3 from the reactions of 3-alkyl(aryl)-4-amino-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones 2 with 3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde is described. The acetylation and methylation reactions of the compounds 3 giving compounds of type 4 and 5, respectively, were investigated. The newly synthesized compound...

INTRODUCTION Glycerin (VG) and propylene glycol (PG) are the most common nicotine solvents used in e-cigarettes (ECs). It has been shown that at high temperatures both VG and PG undergo decomposition to low molecular carbonyl compounds, including the carcinogens formaldehyde and acetaldehyde. The aim of this study was to evaluate how various product characteristics, including nicotine solvent a...

A simple and efficient procedure for the rearrangement of substituted epoxides catalyzed by InCl3 has been developed. Aryl-substituted epoxides isomerize with complete regioselectivity to form a single carbonyl compound via cleavage of the benzylic C-O bond. The reactions are simple, fast, and high yielding. This procedure is very mild compared to those catalyzed with BF3 and other Lewis acids ...

In this study, a class of bis-1,2-(4-aryl-2-alkyl-1H- inden-1-yl) ethane was synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic methods such as 1HNMR, 13CNMR, melting point and FTIR. bis-1,2-(4-aryl-2-alkyl-1H- inden-1-yl) ethane was synthesized by the reaction of butyl­lithium, arylindenes and dibromoethane in a facile, one-pot strategy. It’s shown that these methods have a wide scope to afford li...

Quantitative structure-property relationships on a large set of descriptors are developed for the melting points of a large set of monoand disubstituted benzenes (443 compounds). A correlation equation including nine descriptors (R2 ) 0.8373) is reported for the whole set of compounds, and six descriptor equations are given for the subsets of ortho-, meta-, and para-substituted compounds, respe...

In the title compound, C(19)H(29)NO, the C-C and C-N bond distances of the benzonitrile group are 1.445 (2) and 1.157 (2) Å, respectively. The aliphatic fragment adopts a bent zigzag arangement which differs from the planar zigzag arrangement normally observed in n-alkanes or long-chain alkyl-benzenes. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds occur. A C-H⋯N inter...

A series of bimetallic N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ruthenium(II) complexes were synthesized, which comprise two [RuCl(2)(cymene)(NHC)] units that are interlinked via the NHC nitrogens by alkyl chains of different length. Electrochemical characterization revealed two mutually dependent oxidation processes for the complex with a methylene linker, indicating moderate intramolecular electronic cou...

OBJECTIVE Lung cancer dysregulations impart oxidative stress which results in important metabolic products in the form of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath. The objective of this work is to use statistical classification models to determine specific carbonyl VOCs in exhaled breath as biomarkers for detection of lung cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Exhaled breath samples from 8...
