The coupling of ortho- and para-phenols with secondary and tertiary boronic esters has been explored. In the case of para-substituted phenols, after reaction of a dilithio phenolate species with a boronic ester, treatment with Ph3 BiF2 or Martin's sulfurane gave the coupled product with complete enantiospecificity. The methodology was applied to the synthesis of the broad spectrum antibacterial...

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...

Constructed Wetland (CW) is a reasonable method to treat wastewater. Current study was carried out to co-treat landfill leachate and domestic wastewater using a CW system. Typha domingensis was transplanted to CW, which encloses two substrate layers of adsorbents named ZELIAC and zeolite. Response surface methodology and central composite design were employed to evaluate experimental data. Cont...

Petals are an excellent model system for the study of fundamental aspects of senescence. The need of present study was felt with the aim to study the changes taking place during petal senescence in cut flowers of Tagetes erecta L. Estimation of total phenols was studied from first stage to senescent stage of Tagetes erecta L. The amount of total phenols had a decreasing trend with progressing s...

background: the antioxidant components have been identified in some pine species. antioxidant properties of proantocyanidins reduce free radicals induced by dna fragmentation and lipid proxidation and also proanthocyanidines could curb lipid peroxidation. objective: in this study, we analyzed different parts of pinus eldarica (bark, seed and needle) and assessed their antioxidant contents. meth...

background antioxidant compounds have been shown to slow down the development of chemically induced tumors. it has been estimated that most of human cancer cases are due to environmental factors and would be preventable if the main risks could be identified. the potential of vitamin e as a cancer preventive agent has been studied and individuals whose intake of vitamin e was above average showe...

[reaction: see text] The promising utility of triazolyl N-heterocyclic carbene catalysts in umpolung aldehyde chemistry requires a straightforward reliable synthesis from readily available materials. Herein, we describe the synthesis of a variety of triazolyl N-heterocyclic carbene precursors. The reactions commence from commercially available amino acids and proceed in 44-68% overall yields. T...

This review will describe the recent advances in the synthesis of C-nucleosides with inhibitory activity of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH), a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of guanine nucleotides. The review will cover synthetic approaches of structural analogues showing modifications in the furanose ring as well as in the heterocyclic base. Heterocyclic sugar nucleoside analogues ...

This article deals with the mutagenic heterocyclic amines, especially the aminoimidazoazaarenes family, isolated from cooked foods. The conditions which lead to their occurrence in foods are discussed. This formation primarily depends on the characteristics of the food, such as the type of the food and the presence of precursors, water, and lipids. Secondarily, it depends on the cooking modes w...

ABSTRACT A series of novel phenylsulfonyl- and 4-aminophenylsulfonyl-carboximidamides were synthesized by condensation of sulfonamides with heterocyclic methyl carbimidates obtained from heterocyclic carbonitriles and used 'at its inception.' The molecular structure of the obtained compounds is discussed. Compounds possessing heterocyclic systems with a nitrogen atom in the α position to the fu...
