Crystal violet lactone (CVL) is a classic halochromic dye which has been widely used as chromogenic reagent in thermochromic and piezochromic systems. In this work, a very first example of CVL-based reversible photochromic compound was developed, which showed distinct color change upon UV-visible light irradiation both in solution and in solid matrix. Moreover, metal complex of CVL salicylaldeh...

The title compound, C(14)H(10)Br(2)N(2)O(2), was synthesized by the reaction of 5-bromo-salicylaldehyde with an equimolar quantity of 3-bromo-benzohydrazide in methanol. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 10.5 (4)°. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked through inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form chains parallel to the c axis, and an intra-molecular O-H⋯N int...

The title compound, C(13)H(9)Cl(2)NO, was crystallized from a methanol solution of 5-chloro-salicylaldehyde and o-chloro-aniline. The mol-ecule displays a trans configuration with respect to the imine C=N double bond. The N atom is involved in an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond. The two aromatic rings are essentially coplanar, the dihedral angle between them being 7.1 (1)°. A C-H⋯π inter-ac...

The synthesis of human growth hormone-releasing hormone (hGH-RH), by the chemoselective serine/threonine ligations (STLs) of three unprotected peptide fragments, is reported. To allow for the multiple-fragment ligation, we chose the Msz (p-(methylsulfinyl)benzyloxycarbonyl) group, which is compatible with the preparation of peptide salicylaldehyde esters via Fmoc-SPPS and readily removed by red...

The title compound, C(14)H(12)N(2)O(3), was synthesized by the condensation of salicylaldehyde with 3-hydroxy-benzo-hydrazide. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 12.4 (2)°. The 2-hydr-oxy group forms an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond with the imide N atom. Mol-ecules are linked through inter-molecular O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional polymeric structur...

The hydratase-aldolase-catalyzed conversion of trans-o-hydroxybenzylidenepyruvate to salicylaldehyde and pyruvate is an intermediate reaction in the conversion of naphthalene to salicylate by bacteria. Here, a variety of aromatic aldehydes and some nonaromatic aldehydes together with pyruvate have been shown to be substrates for aldol condensations catalyzed by this enzyme in extracts of the re...

The title compound, [Mn(C(18)H(18)N(2)O(4))(C(7)H(5)O(3))(H(2)O)], was synthesized by a template reaction of ethane-1,2-diamine and 3-methoxy-salicylaldehyde in presence of manganese(II) 4-hydroxy-benzoate. The Jahn-Teller-distorted manganese(III) centre has an octa-hedral geometry. Extensive O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions generate a two-dimensional sheet structure parallel to (103).
