The parallel solid-phase synthesis of a hydrophilic psoralen analogue, 2-arylamino-6H-pyrano[2,3-f]benzimidazole-6-ones (2-arylaminoimidazocoumarins), has been developed. The resin-bound 7-fluoro-4-methyl-6-nitro-2-oxo-2H-1-benzopyran-3-carboxylic acid underwent aromatic substitution with primar...

We report herein the facile solid-phase synthesis of 2,3-disubstituted 6H-pyrano[2,3-f]benzimidazole-6-ones using 7-fluoro-4-methyl-6-nitro-2-oxo-2H-1-benzopyran-3-carboxylic acid as the scaffold. The fluorine of the resin-bound scaffold was first replaced by a primary amine. Reduction of the ni...

FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 2-(p-fluorobenzyl)-6-nitrobenzoxazole were recorded and analyzed. A surface enhanced Raman scattering spectrum (SERS) was recorded in silver colloid. Using Gaussian03 set of quantum chemistry codes, the vibrational wavenumbers and corresponding vibrational assignmen...

Platensimycin (PTM) and platencin (PTN), two natural products and promising drug leads that target bacterial and mammalian fatty acid synthases, are known to have unfavorable pharmacokinetic properties. It is not clear, however, what the metabolic fates of PTM and PTN are and no efforts have bee...

The platensimycin (PTM) and platencin (PTN) class of natural products are promising drug leads that target bacterial and mammalian fatty acid synthases. Natural congeners and synthetic analogues of PTM and PTN have been instrumental in determining their structure–activity relationships, with on...

A highly efficient air-initiated hydrosilylation of unactivated alkynes and alkenes and dehalogenation of halohydrocarbons with tris(trimethylsilyl)silane ((TMS)3SiH) as a reducing agent has been established under solvent-free conditions. These observations demonstrate that the potential and ver...

Tris[(2-alkoxymethyl)phenyl]germanes and tris[(2-methylthiomethyl)phenyl]germane were prepared and their structures were investigated by means of X-ray crystallographic analysis and 73Ge NMR spectra, which indicated incipient dative bonding between germanium and sulfur or oxygen atoms to make th...

The oxidative treatment of vinyl tris(trimethylsilyl)silanes with hydrogen peroxide in aqueous sodium hydroxide in tetrahydrofuran generates reactive silanol or siloxane species that undergo Pd-catalyzed cross-couplings with aryl, heterocyclic, and alkenyl halides in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4 an...

Cyanohydrins of arylaldehydes can be obtained in high optical purity using the 'Inoue' dipeptide catalyst system and converted into enantiomerically and diastereochemically pure threo-3-aryl-2,3-dihydroxypropanoic acid derivatives using a route which involves a novel base-catalysed equ...

A partially purified Carica papaya (pCPL) is explored as an effective biocatalyst for the esterification resolution of (RS)-2-(chlorophenoxy)propionic acid (CPA) with trimethylsilylmethanol in anhydrous isooctane. In comparison with a crude Candida rugosa lipase (CRL), pCPL has higher enantiosel...

Chlorinated phenols (CPs) and chlorophenoxy radicals (CPRs) are known as the dominant precursors for forming notorious persistent organic pollutants, polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans. Controlling the emission of CPs/CPRs emerges as an important environmental issue. Our present...

The present communication aims to develop bisazo disperse dyes based on 3-[4-(4-amino-2-chlorophenoxy)anilino]phenol (DAP) both as a coupling component as well as a diazonium salt. Coupling reaction of DAP was carried out with a diazonium salt of 4-aminoacetanilide to yield a monoazo disperse dy...

The enantiomers of 2-(2-chlorophenoxy) propanoic acid and 2-(3-chlorophenoxy) propanoic acid were resolved on a chiral HPLC column and investigated using mid-infrared vibrational circular dichroism (VCD). Experimental infrared vibrational absorption and VCD spectra were measured in CDCl3 solutio...

Quantum chemical calculations were carried out to investigate the homogeneous gas-phase formation of mixed polybrominated/chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/benzofurans (PBCDD/Fs) from the cross-condensation of 2-chlorophenoxy radical (2-CPR) with 2-bromophenoxy radical (2-BPR), 2,4-dichlorophenoxy r...

This present research work investigates the adsorption of hazardous 2-(2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxy) propionic acid (MCPP) from water using electrochemically synthesized zinc hydroxide material. In order to compute the conditions of higher adsorption efficiency, the various parameters such as pH, te...

Superoxide radicals can be measured by redox methods which utilize the oxidation/reduction reactions of specific compounds. The redox methods, however, suffer from various interferences, which limit their use in the assay of superoxide. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy using sp...

Titanium(IV)-pyridinediol complex 5 was studied as a model for titanium-tartrate asymmetric epoxidation catalysts. The sign of induction depended on the alkyl group of the alkyl hydroperoxide oxidant. Trityl hydroperoxide gave 64% ee in the direction predicted by the model.
