A novel, convenient and efficient three-component reaction for synthesizing substituted pyrroles from primary amines and electron deficient acetylenic compounds in the presence of ammonium thiocyanate in water leads to the formation of pyrroles in good yields.

Receptor binding studies were undertaken in an attempt to identify and characterize pharmacologically and functionally distinct receptor sites for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in rat brain. The results indicated that the potency of bicuculline, a GABA receptor antagonist, to displace membrane-bound [3H]GABA varies significantly among different brain regions, with the greatest potency found in...

Various epoxides are converted to their corresponding thiiranes in excellent yields with ammonium thiocyanate and thiourea under non-aqueous conditions in the presence of catalytic amounts of Bi(TFA)3 and Bi(OTf)3.

Abstract A method for rapid separation of americium from complex matrices by use two commercially available extraction chromatography resins is reported. TRU resin capable purifying americium/lanthanides together Group 1, 2 and transition metals. tolerated high loadings iron, aluminium, calcium sodium potassium. TEVA purified elution with ammonium thiocyanate. Decontamination factors > 20,00...

We report a green and efficient method for the synthesis of 8-aryl-6-thioxo-6H-1,9-dioxa-7-aza-cyclopenta[a]naphthalen-3-one from condensation ammonium thiocyanate acid chlorides with 7-...

Interactions between model molecules representing building blocks of proteins and the thiocyanate anion, a strong protein denaturant agent, were investigated in aqueous solutions with intermolecular vibrational energy exchange methods. It was found that thiocyanate anions are able to bind to the charged ammonium groups of amino acids in aqueous solutions. The interactions between thiocyanate an...

Herein we shed light on the mechanism of the reaction of epoxides with ammonium thiocyanate to give the corresponding thiiranes in water, and we present a computational mechanistic model for this highly useful reaction.

Some N¬-acyl-N'-aryl thiourea derivatives 4(a-f) have been prepared by the reaction of acyl halides ammonium thiocyanate and aryl amines. The structures of synthesized compounds have been characterized by IR, 1HNMR spectral studies. The synthesized compounds 5(a-f) have been screened for antibacterial activity. The effect of the structure of the investigated compounds on the antibacterial activ...
