The title compound, C(19)H(16)N(4)O(2)·0.425CH(4)O, crystallizes with two formula units per asymmetric unit. Researching its crystal structure constitutes part of a study of the nature of inter-actions between the N(+)-O(-) group and the vicinal NH group. The nitrone group and methanol solvent mol-ecules are linked via four N-H⋯O and one O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, with donor-acceptor distances of 2....

The synthesis and antibacterial activity of the title compounds having an isoxazolidine ring at the C-2 position are described. These derivatives were synthesized by the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of nitrone with 2-vinyl carbapenems. This 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction proceeded regioselectively to give diastereomeric isomers of 2(-isoxazolidin-5-yl)carbapenems. It was ascertained t...

Electrochemical reduction of complexes of monochlorosilanes with redox-active ligands such as 2,2'-bipy occurs in one-electron fashion at moderately negative potentials, E @ -1 V vs SCE (in CH3CN/0.1 M Bu4NBF4), leading to silyl radicals. These radicals, trapped with a-phenyl-N-tbutyl-nitrone and characterized as spin-adducts by ESR spectroscopy, add to carbon interfaces (glassy carbon, graphit...

The synthesis of the first multivalent pyrrolizidine iminosugars is reported. The key azido intermediates 4 and 31 were prepared after suitable synthetic elaboration of the cycloadduct obtained from 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of D-arabinose derived nitrone to dimethylacrylamide. The key step of the strategy was the stereoselective installation of an azido moiety at C-6 of the pyrrolizidine skele...

The dissociation reaction of nitrosomethane into methyl and nitric oxide and the tautomerization reactions to formaldehyde oxime, nitrone, and methoxy nitrene have been studied with the second-order multiconfigurational perturbation theory (CASPT2) by the computation of numerical energy gradients. The prevailing reactions in both the ground and the excited states are dissociations. The structur...

An efficient stereocontrolled route to ( )-cylindricine C is described. Reaction of 9-hydroxynon-1-en-5one oxime with 2,3-bis(phenylsulfonyl)-1,3-butadiene affords a 7-oxa-1-azanorbornane cycloadduct in high yield. The formation of the bicyclic isoxazolidine arises from conjugate addition of the oxime onto the diene to give a transient nitrone that spontaneously undergoes an intramolecular dipo...

The generation of excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) in mitochondria is responsible for much of the oxidative stress associated with ageing (aging), and mitochondrial dysfunction is part of the pathology of neurodegeneration and type 2 diabetes. Lipophilic pyridinium ions are known to accumulate in mitochondria and this paper describes a general route for the preparation of nitrone-containing...
