a binuclear macrocyclic ligand containing dissimilar n(amine)2o2 and n(imine)2o2 coordination sites sharing two phenolic oxygen atoms, was prepared by cyclic condensation of dialdehyde precursor l1h2 with 1,3-diaminopropane. the ligand includes two propionitrile pendant arms on the amine nitrogen atoms. the homobimetallic complex [znl2zn(oac)]pf6 was synthesized by one step procedure. heterobim...

In the presence of zinc( ii ), propionitrile and benzonitrile react with amines to form amidines. Complexes intact can also form.

Oxidative dehydrogenation of amines using heterogeneous gold catalysts has unanticipated potential; chemisorbed atomic oxygen is used to activate propylamine, producing propionitrile and/or propionaldehyde on a single-crystal Au(111) surface.

2-Cyanoethyldiazohydroxide is a likely product of metabolic alpha-hydroxylation of 3-(methylnitrosamino)propionitrile (MNPN). The reaction of 2-(N-carbethoxy-N-nitrosamino)propionitrile, a stable precursor of 2-cyanoethyldiazohydroxide, with deoxyguanosine, catalyzed by porcine liver esterase, was investigated. Two major deoxyguanosine adducts were produced. They were isolated by high-performan...

The cycloalkane-based thermomorphic (CBT) system is a convenient and practical method for oligosaccharide synthesis, and hydrophobically modified oligosaccharides have a remarkable affinity for CBT solutions composed of methylcyclohexane and propionitrile.

An extension of the anisotropic united atoms intermolecular potential model is proposed for nitriles. The electrostatic part of the intermolecular potential is calculated using atomic charges obtained by a simple Mulliken population analysis. The repulsion-dispersion interaction parameters for methyl and methylene groups are taken from transferable AUA4 literature parameters [Ungerer et al., J....

2-Cyanoethyldiazohydroxide is a likely product of metabolic a-hydroxylation of 3-(methylnitrosamino)propionitrile(MNPN). The reaction of 2-{Ar-carbethoxy-/V-nitrosamino)propionitrile, a stable precursor of 2cyanoethyldiazohydroxide, with deoxyguanosine, catalyzed by porcine liver esterase, was investigated. Two major deoxyguanosine adducts were produced. They were isolated by high-performance l...
