Irradiation of N-(tyrosyl)-N′-(5-azido-2-nitrobenzoyl)-1,2-diaminoethane (I) initiates chemical reactions that lead to different products depending on the experimental conditions. All of these products are attributed to the reactions of triplet 4-nitrobenzoyl nitrene (4NBN). The reactions of tr...

The photoactivable aryl azide reagents, N-(5-azido-2-nitrobenzoyl)oxysuccinimide, 4-azido-1-fluoro-2-nitrobenzene, and 4-azido-1-nitro-2,4,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene have been condensed at the extremity of three 17α-aminomethyl, 17α-aminoethyl, and 17α-aminopropyl side-chains introduced on (17S)-...

Four series of triazolylnaphthyridinone derivatives were synthesized as structural surrogates of nalidixic acid. The targeted derivatives involve: 3-(5-acylamino-2H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-naphtyridin-4-ones 6(a-e); 3-(5-benzylidineamino-2H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)-naphthyridin-4-ones 8(a-g) and their 6-...

Two novel d10 metal-based coordination polymers named, [Cd(SCN)2(ttmb)]n (polymer 1), {[Ag4(H2btec)2(H4btec)(ttmb)2]·5H2O}n (polymer 2) (H4betc = 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid, tmb = 1,3,5-tris((1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)methyl)benzene), were synthesized by combining flexible tripodal ligand,...

2-t-Butyl-4,5-didehydropyrimidine, generated by oxidation of 3-amino-5-t-butyl-3H-v-triazolo[4,5-d] pyrimidine, was allowed to react with a variety of reagents. Trapping experiments with furan and two tetracyclones gave the expected adducts in low to moderate yields. On treatment with anthracene...

RésuméLes éthylènedioxy-4,4 aldéhydes 1 sont facilement obtenus par C-alcoylation de l'éthoxycarbonyl-1 méthyl-6 heptène-5- one-2 8, suivie d'hydrolyse, décarboxylation, formation du dioxolanne et ozonolyse. Alternativement, on peut préparer les composés 1 par réaction du m...

Two homopolymers (poly(4,4′-bis(N-carbazolyl)-1,1′-biphenyl) (PBCz) and poly(indole-6-carboxylic acid) (PInc)) and three copolymers (P(BCz1-co-Inc1), P(BCz1-co-Inc2), and P(BCz1-co-Inc4)) with various BCz/Inc feed molar ratios are electrochemical polymerized on indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode...

Well-defined stimulus-responsive polymer gels were prepared from poly(2-vinyl-4,4-dimethylazlatone) (PVDMA) via one-pot post-polymerization modification. VDMA homopolymers were reacted with diamine crosslinking agents and functional 1° or 2° amines to form polymer gels that swelled in organic ...

Enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-epiepoformin 1, (+)-epiepoxydon 2 and (+)-bromoxone 3 using a chiral building block, ethyl (1R,2S)-5,5-ethylenedioxy-2-hydroxycyclo- hexanecarboxylate 6, is described. Since the synthesis afforded intermediates 18, 2 and 25, it accomplished a formal synthe...

Photochemistry of the title compounds in various solvents was studied using a broad band of light centered at 350 nm. C-4 spiroketal cyclohexenone 4 (1.0 M) afforded dimers and 12b with the predominance of the former in polar solvent and the latter in nonpolar solvent. When the concentration was...

Anodic coupling of 4,4′(5′)-bis[(3,4-(ethylenedioxy)thien-2-yl]tetrathiafulvalene (1) in acetonitrile has produced a new polythiophene-based polymer containing tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) moieties regularly inserted in the polythiophene chain. The polymer poly(1) has been compared with poly(3-[7-...

New synthesised conjugated copolymers based on 4H-cyclopenta[2,1-b:3,4-b’]dithiophene exhibit the absorption of light in the red spectral region with the maximum at 580–590 nm and optical bandgaps of 1.85–1.88 eV. Organic photovoltaic cells prepared from composites of these copolymers with [6...

The photodegradation of the neonicotinoid insecticide nitenpyram (NPY) under UV and solar irradiation has been investigated in water solutions in order to assess its persistence in the environment and its transformation into other potentially more toxic species. Time-courses were followed by ult...

The brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens, is one of the most economically important rice crop pests in Asia, and has developed resistance to various insecticides from most chemical groups including neonicotinoid insecticides. At present, nitenpyram is the primary insecticide for N. lugens contr...

Imidacloprid and nitenpyram are widely used neonicotinoid pesticides worldwide and were observed to adversely affect non-target aquatic organisms. In this study, the toxic effect of imidacloprid and nitenpyram on the brain of juvenile Chinese rare minnows (Gobiocypris rarus) was investigated by ...

Neonicotinoid insecticides have been widely used throughout the world over the last two decades. In the present study, we investigated the degradation of neonicotinoid insecticides nitenpyram (NIT) and dinotefuran (DIN) by the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete sordida YK-624. While NIT was complete...

In the present work, highly sensitive Raman detection of nitenpyram using superhydrophobic filter paper as substrates is introduced. The process is simple, and efficient. By sequentially coating silver dendrites and Octyltrimethoxysilane (OTMOS) on filter paper, we produced highly active surface...

Neonicotinoid seed coatings have been used as a major method to control seedling pests, especially the cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii Glover), around the world. However, their negative influence on natural enemies and pollinators has been criticized for decades. The present study was designed to c...
