Ring cleavage occurred when 1,2,4-triazino-1,2,4-triazines (3), (4) and (5) were treated with concentrated hydrochloric acid to yield N-substituted triazines (7) and (8). These confirm the given configuration assigned to the isomeric triazinotriazines. 6-Methyl-2-phenyl-7H-oxazolo [3,2-b][1,2,4]-triazin-7-one (9) underwent ring cleavage on treatment with sodium alkoxide to afford 3-alkoxy-1...

Bicyclic aziridines show exclusive photochromic behavior. Here, we summarize the results of optical and electrochemical properties, such as photochemical, solvatochromic, electrochromic andkinetic behavior of bicyclic aziridines linked to chalcone moieties. The photochromic process for conversion of closed photoisomers to open photoisomers for compounds 1-10 followed zero-order kinetics. For co...

In this work the results of experimental and computational study of the title compounds and some ancillary compounds are reported. Two bicyclic pyrazol-1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives were synthesized by reaction between 6-dimethylaminomethylene-3-thioxo-[1,2,4]triazepin-5-one 1 and several nitrilimines 2a-f to give corresponding spirocycloadducts 3a-f, which undergo a rapid rearrangement leading...

Compact codes, recently introduced (ref. 1), have been applied to all known bicyclic saturated hydrocarbons as the first step in a systematic deriving compact codes for more complex ring systems. The codes are compared with IUPAC nomenclature for bicyclic compounds, as well as with WLN (Wiswesser Line Notation). Advantages of the compact codes are outlined, including qualified algebraic manipul...

Many bacteria convert bicyclic compounds, such as indole and naphthalene, to oxidized compounds, including hydroxyindoles and naphthols. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a ubiquitous bacterium that inhabits diverse environments, shows pathogenicity against animals, plants, and other microorganisms, and increasing evidence has shown that several bicyclic compounds alter the virulence-related phenotypes o...

Paclitaxel is one of the most important anti-cancer agents introduced during the last 20 years. However, the use of paclitaxel is limited by undesirable side effects as well as the development of drug resistance. Here, we report a synthetic strategy towards spiro-bicyclo[2.2.2]octane derivatives, which includes double Michael addition and ring-closing metathesis as key synthetic steps. This str...

BACKGROUND Better understanding of the transannular influence of a substituent on the redox-potentials of bicyclo[2.2.2]octane-derived quinones will help in the design of new compounds with controlled biological activity. However, attempts to directly relate the reduction potentials of substituted triptycene-quinones to the electronic effects of substituents are often unsuccessful. RESULTS Fi...

A few facile synthetic pathways for bicyclic aminopyridinol antioxidants are presented. Attachment of a long alkyl chain to the bicyclic pyridinol scaffold was established using ester linkage. Non-substituted pyrrolopyridinols and 1,3-oxazine-fused pyridinols were also synthesized as novel antioxidant scaffolds. Antioxidant activities were measured by a radical clock method and new compounds pr...
