Even though the two possible rotamers of methoxy-substituted indoles only differ in the orientation of a methoxy group, this slight geometry change can have a strong influence on the stabilities and further molecular properties of the conformers. In the present study, we evaluate the effect of t...

4-(3-(thiophen-2-yl)-9H-carbazol-9-yl)benzaldehyde (TPCBZ) was synthesized under microwave irradiation with auto generated pressure (at 130.0 °C) and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, Mass and FTIR spectroscopy, thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and elemental analyses. Here, a thin-layer of TPCB...

Alkyllithiums react with 3-phenylisoxazole giving C5–H abstraction followed either mainly by ring fragmentation to benzonitrile and ethynolate ion (in the case of t-BuLi) or (less hindered alkyllithiums: n-BuLi, EtLi, MeLi) also by formation of alkylated enaminones. Appreciable amounts of 2-alk...

The complex formation of gallium(III) with 8-hydroxy-7-iodoquinoline-5-sulphonic acid (ferron) (L) was studied by potentiometry; and the dissociation constants of the ligand were redetermined. A new computer program made it possible to make allowance for a considerable number of equilibria. In t...

The outcome of the reaction between 1,2-diaryl-1,2-disodioethanes and halogenated benzoic acids strongly depends on the nature of both reaction partners. Indeed, whilst chloro-, bromo- and iodobenzoic acids are easily dehalogenated, the reductive cleavage of fluorobenzoic acids proceeds to a hig...

A versatile reagent for the chiral resolution and determination of the absolute configuration of benzylic alcohols, (−)-3-menthoxybiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid, is reported. (−)-3-menthoxybiphenyl-4-carboxylic acid was condensed with racemic benzylic alcohols to yield diastereomeric 3-menthoxybiphe...

The FTIR and FT-Raman spectra of 2-chloro-6-fluorobenzoic acid and 3,4-dichlorobenzoic acid have been recorded in the region 4000–400 cm−1 and 3500–50 cm−1, respectively. Utilizing the observed FTIR and FT-Raman data, a complete vibrational assignment and analysis of fundamental modes of the c...

Acetophenones o-substituted by halogen and methoxyl groups were hydrogenated in the presence of (NH2Et2){Ru2Cl5[(S)-tol-BINAP]2} at 35°C and 85 kg/cm2 hydrogen pressure. The results showed that o-bromoacetophenone was a very active substrate and its asymmetric hydrogenation gave an o-bromo-α-p...

C-6 substituted fluoroalkenyl 2,4-dimethoxypyrimidine derivative (4) was synthesized by lithiation of 2,4-dimethoxy-6-methylpyrimidine (3) and subsequent reaction of thus obtained organolithium intermediate with ethyl pentafluoropropionate. The novel 2,4-pyrimidinedione containing 3,3,4,4,4-pent...

The thiopurine antimetabolites 6-thioguanine and 6-mercaptopurine are important chemotherapeutic drugs in the treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Measurement of metabolites of these thiopurines is important because correlations exist between levels of these metabolites and the ...

Background and aimsHigh concentrations of methylated thiopurine metabolites, such as 6-methyl mercaptopurine, are associated with hepatotoxicity during administration of the conventional thiopurines azathioprine or 6-mercaptopurine in IBD patients. Metabolization of the non-conventional thiopuri...

Field experiments offer the most acceptable approach to quantifying agricultural fumigant emissions but there is an absence of replicated field data in reported literature. Air concentration profiles of 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) were determined on duplicate masts above the center of a treated ...

1,3-Dichloropropene (1,3-D) is a potential candidate as a soil fumigant because of the restriction of methyl bromide (MB) in soil fumigation. So far, little is known about the bacteria diversity in 1,3-D fumigated soil. Therefore, the impact of 1,3-D on soil bacterial community was determined by...

Soil fumigation is important for food production but has the potential to discharge toxic chemicals into the environment, which may adversely affect human and ecosystem health. A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of applying ammonium thiosulfate fertilizer to the soil surface...

The fumigant 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) is widely-used to control pathogenic bacteria, fungi, nematodes and insects in soil before a crop is planted. Although fumigants in general have been reported to have a ‘fertilizer effect’ in the soil by increasing nitrogen availability, little is known...

We combine combustion experiments and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to investigate the formation of chlorobenzenes from oxidative thermal decomposition of 1,3-dichloropropene. Mono- to hexa-chlorobenzenes are observed between 800 and 1150 K, and the extent of chlorination was prop...

The fumigant 1,3-dichloropropene (1,3-D) is widely used for control of soil-borne pests and pathogens, but post-application emissions may lead to off-site transport and possible human exposure. The fraction of applied material emitted into the atmosphere and the magnitude of peak emissions are t...

The compound 1,3-D (1,3-dichloropropene) is a potential candidate soil fumigant due to the restrictions on methyl bromide (MB). To date, little is known about the soil microbial community changes induced by 1,3-D fumigation. Therefore, soil properties, related soil enzymes, genes encoding the ke...

Soil fumigation is an important agricultural practice used to produce many vegetable and fruit crops. However, fumigating soil can lead to atmospheric emissions which can increase risks to human and environmental health. A complete understanding of the transport, fate, and emissions of fumigants...

The control of agricultural pests is key to maintain economically viable crops. Increasing environmental awareness, however, is leading to more restrictive European policies regulating the use of certain pesticides due to their impact on human health and the soil system. Given this context, we e...
