In this paper we elected to nitrate p-xylene because this compound has onlyone mononitro- and trinitro- isomer. Trinitro-p-xylene was used as a starting material forthe synthesis of other compounds in subsequent work. The mononitration of p-xylene canbe easily carried out at 30°C. Nitro-p-xylene is easily nitrated to dinitro-p-xylene at atemperature of 80°C. The trinitro-p-xylene can be obtained at 120°C. Single crystals of2,3-dinitro-p-xylene and 2,3,5-trinitro-p-xylene were grown using theslow cooling method and we report the X-ray structure of the former. The thermaldecomposition of the compounds was studied using differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) and thermogravimetry-derivative thermogravimetry (TG-DTG) techniques andFT-IR. The target compounds were also characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and MS. Full article

The present study examined the influence of synthetic N-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-N-(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl) amine (2-Amdz) on levels of vitamins A, E and C and malondialdehyde (MDA) in rats. A total of 30 rats, divided into two groups, were used in the study. The control group was given only a subcutaneous injection of 250 ?L 75% ethanol, every other day. The other group of rats was administered a subcutaneous injection of 2-Amdz (25 mg kg-1, dissolved in 250 ?L of 75% ethanol). Injections were continued for 16 days. After the application of 2-Amdz for 16 days, the serum levels of vitamins A, E and C and malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined by HPLC. The serum vitamin A, E, and C levels decreased significantly compared to controls (p<0.05) whereas serum MDA levels were higher than control levels (p<0.005). As a result, it can be suggested that 2-Amdz induced a severe stress and more importantly, increased the amount of free radicals and significantly decreased the levels of serum antioxidant vitamins.

Pd(II) was extracted quantitativelyfrom 0.1 M HCl with ABSO in benzene (0.5 M). Ammonia solution (2.0 M) could beused as stripping agent. ABSO and Pd(II) form a 2:1 adduct [Pd (ABSO)2Cl2] in theextraction. X-ray crystal structure determination revealed PdCl2(ABSO)2 is asquare-planar complex in which ABSO acts as a neutral unidentate ligand coordinatedwith palladium(II) via the thiazolyl N atom.
