The hydroxy-substituted alkyl phenyl ketones 2'-, 3'- and 4'- (ortho, meta, and para) hydroxyacetophenone were excited in the strong-field regime with wavelengths ranging from 1200-1500 nm to produce the respective radical cations. For 2'- and 3'-hydroxyacetophenone, the parent molecular ion dominated the mass spectrum, and the intensity of the fragment ions remained unchanged as a function of ...

A new phenolic compound, 2-O-β-laminaribiosyl-4-hydroxyacetophenone (1), was isolated from Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix (CWR, the root of Cynanchum wilfordii Hemsley), along with 10 known aromatic compounds, including cynandione A (2), bungeisides-C (7) and -D (8), p-hydroxyacetophenone (9), 2',5'-dihydroxyacetophenone (10), and 2',4'-dihydroxyacetophenone (11). The structure of the new compound (1...

An (S)-specific carbonyl reductase (SCRII) was purified to homogeneity from Candida parapsilosis by following an anti-Prelog reducing activity of 2-hydroxyacetophenone. Peptide mass fingerprinting analysis shows SCRII belongs to short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase family. Its coding gene was cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant SCRII displays the similar enzymatic chara...

The 4-hydroxyacetophenone monooxygenase (HAPMO) from Pseudomonas fluorescens ACB catalyzes NADPH- and oxygen-dependent Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of 4-hydroxyacetophenone to the corresponding acetate ester. Using the purified enzyme from recombinant Escherichia coli, we found that a broad range of carbonylic compounds that are structurally more or less similar to 4-hydroxyacetophenone are also s...

nickel (ii) and copper (ii) complexes of highly unsymmetrical tetradentate schiff base have been synthesized by the template reaction of half-units n-(1-hydroxy-2-acetonaphtone)-1-amino-2-phenyleneimine (hl) and n-(2-hydroxyacetophenone)-1-amino-2-phenyleneimine (hl1) with the glyoxalphenylhydrazone. the complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, conductance, ir, 1h nmr and uv spe...
