Dioxygen activation implemented by nonhaem Fe(II) enzymes containing the 2-His-1-carboxylate facial triad has been extensively studied in recent years. Extradiol dioxygenase is the archetypal member of this superfamily and catalyzes the oxygenolytic ring opening of catechol analogues. Here, the crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of 2-aminophenol 1,6-dioxygenase, an enzyme representi...

The high yielding transformations of 3,4,4,5-tetrachloro-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazine into 3,5-dichloro-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-one (up to 85%) and 2-(3,5-dichloro-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazin-4-ylidene)malononitrile (up to 83%) have been investigated and compared to the analogous transformations of the closely-related 4,5-dichloro-1,2,3-dithiazolium chloride (Appel's salt) into 4-chloro-5H-1,2,3-dithiazol-5-one ...

Pseudomonas putida HS12, which is able to grow on nitrobenzene, was found to carry two plasmids, pNB1 and pNB2. The activity assay experiments of wild-type HS12(pNB1 and pNB2), a spontaneous mutant HS121(pNB2), and a cured derivative HS124(pNB1) demonstrated that the catabolic genes coding for the nitrobenzene-degrading enzymes, designated nbz, are located on two plasmids, pNB1 and pNB2. The ge...

Present research paper deals with the adsorption isotherms rate 2-amino phenol and 4-amino phenol on multi-wall carbon nanotube which performed by changing the amount of solution concentration in ppm unit. According to difference between two under studied substances are in substitution of NH2 in ortho and para position , more adsorption of 4-aminophenol on carbon nanotube demonstrate that para ...

In view of the fact that aniline is absorbed not only by inhalation but also through the skin, the aerial contamination alone is not an exact indication of exposure. It is necessary to find a biological test which reveals exposure and is independent of the route of absorption. It is conceivable that the p-aminophenol excretion in the urine, which is a well-known symptom of aniline intoxication,...

The carcinogen aniline is negative in the Ames Salmonella mutagenicity assay. Aniline does, however, induce intrachromosomal recombination between repeated sequences in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, resulting in deletion (DEL) of intervening sequences. We have investigated whether the generation of oxidative free radical species by aniline and/ or its metabolites may be responsible for its recombin...

From the acetone extract of the North American toadstool Lepiota americana 2-aminophenoxazin-3-one (1) and a novel amino-1,4-benzoquinone derivative, lepiotaquinone (2), were isolated. The structure of 2 was confirmed by its preparation from 2-aminophenol and amino-1,4-benzoquinone.

Based on the dramatic accelerating effect of 2-aminophenol, three ligands derived from 2-aminophenol were developed. Copper-catalyzed coupling reaction of nitrogen-containing nucleophiles with aryl bromides was efficiently carried out under mild conditions using 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-8-hydroxyquinoline as a novel, simple, and versatile ligand.
