In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(14)H(17)NO(4), obtained by the reaction of N-benzoxycarbonyl-l-valine, paraformaldehyde and 4-methyl-benzene-sulfonic acid, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating linear chains parallel to the a axis. C-H⋯π inter-actions of stacked benzene rings also provide stability for the crystal structure.

Other than triarylamines, which are protonated by strong acids both at their N-atom and aromatic rings, pyrrole its N-substituted derivatives were exclusively the carbon atoms of heteroaromatic rings. Whereas with trifluoromethane sulfonic acid (TFS) stable pyrrolium salts obtained, weaker trifluoroacetic (TFA) oligomers formed. E.g., from N-(tert-butyl)pyrrole a dimeric compound could be unamb...

The primary objective of this paper is to enhance the water-vapor-adsorption capacity of multiwall-carbon-nanotube (MWCNT) from nitrogen gas by grafting sulfonic acid groups and doping palladium nanoparticles into the adsorbent. MWCNT has been selected to be modified because of having homogeneous adsorption energy compared to silica gel. As a result, it is capable of creating isotherm having sh...

To test for retrospective effects of sucrose ingestion in the anticipatory contrast procedure, 4 experiments examined intake of an initial 0.15% saccharin solution as a function of the unsignaled interspersing of days in which the 2nd solution was 32% sucrose or 0.15% saccharin. In Experiment 1, rats that received alternating saccharin-saccharin days and saccharin-sucrose days drank less saccha...

The title compound, C(28)H(22)O(6)S(2)·2C(6)H(13)N·2H(2)O, was prepared by the reaction of a Wittig reagent and 2-formyl-benzene-sulfonic acid. The main molecule lies about an inversion centre at the midpoint of the C-C bond between the inner benzene rings. The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure is further stabilized by O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O ...

Acaroid mites (superfamily Acaroidea) are economically and veterinary important pests. We give a list of 5 families 49 genera, and 180 species of acaroid mites recorded in the Northern and Eastern Asia (Asian part of Russia, South Korea, Japan, and China). One new genus, Sphecacarus Klimov gen. n., is described. The following new synonymies and combinations are proposed: Tortonia Oudemans, 1911...

The title compound, C(18)H(12)N(6)O(6), was prepared from the reaction of 4-(phenyl-diazen-yl)aniline (aniline yellow) with picryl-sulfonic acid. The dihedral angle formed by the two benzene rings of the diphenyl-diazenyl ring system is 6.55 (13)° and that formed by the rings of the picrate-aniline ring system is 48.76 (12)°. The mol-ecule contains an intra-molecular aniline-nitro N-H⋯O hydroge...

The title compound, C(10)H(9)NO(3), was synthesized by the condensation reaction of isatin (systematic name 1H-indole-2,3-dione) with glycol in presence of p-toluene-sulfonic acid. The indol-2-one ring system is essentially planar [N-C-C-C torsion angle = 3.1 (2)°], and the 1,3-dioxolane ring is slightly distorted. The crystal structure exhibits inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

BACKGROUND The behaviour of perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in tissues of ruminants has been shown to differ from that of monogastrics (J Agric Food Chem 61(12):2903-2912 doi:10.1021/jf304680j, 2013; J Agric Food Chem 62(28):6861-6870, 2014). This may be a consequence of the complex microbial ecosystem in the rumen. To evaluate this hypothesis, the recovery of PFAAs was studied using the rumen sim...
