Dilute mixtures of hexanal in synthetic air (up to 100 ppm) were photolyzed with fluorescent UV lamps (275-380 nm) in air at 298 K. The main photooxidation products, identified and quantitatively analyzed by FTIR spectroscopy, were butene, CO, vinyla...

Several new pyrido[2,3,4-kl]acridines were synthesized by reacting naphthoquinone, juglone or cyclohexan-1,3-dione with β,β’-diaminoketones in a biomimetic reaction. The structure of all new compounds was elucidated by NMR and MS spectroscopy. Electr...

Acylation of 2-aminothiobenzamide or 2-methylaminothiobenzamide with substituted benzoyl chlorides has been used to synthesise the corresponding 2-benzoylaminothiobenzamides whose subsequent sodium methoxide-catalysed ring closure gives the correspon...

The use of malonates such as diethyl malonates 9, (chlorocarbonyl)ketenes 15 and bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) malonates 18 as reagents for cyclocondensation with 1,3-dinucleophiles to give six-membered heterocycles is described. Further attempts to use...

Benzonorbornadiene 21, 7-spirocyclopropylbenzonorbornadiene 23, 7,7-dimethylbenzonorbornadiene 25, and 7-spirocyclopentylbenzonorbornadiene 27 have been reacted with 3,6-di(2-pyridyl)-s-tetrazine (rate: 21>23>25=27) to form symmetrical 4,5-dihydropyr...

The use of organic compounds in the European Union will in the future be regulated in accordance with the Council Directive 1999/13/EC of 11 March 1999 [1]. In this directive, any organic compound is considered to be a volatile organic compound (VOC)...

The novel water-soluble ligand, N,N-bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)-2-aminoethylphosphonic acid, (Ph2PCH2)2NCH2CH2PO3H2, had been synthesized in quantitative yield by reaction of 2-aminoethylphosphonic acid with bis(hydroxymethyl)-diphenylphosphonium ch...

The reaction of 5-acetyl-6-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzo[b]furan (visnaginone Ia) with 2-diethylaminoethylchloride led to the formation of 5-acetyl-6-diethylamino-ethoxy-4-methoxybenzo[b]furan (II), whereas condensation of compound II with some aromatic ald...

A porphyrin appended norbornenyl building block 8 has been isolated and coupled, using a 1,3-dipolar ACE reaction, to yield bis-porphyrin compounds in which the porphyrin moietes are angled upward relative to the norbornane backbone.

Synthesis and characterization of two new Schiff bases of p-tertbuthylcalix[4]arene (H2L1 and HL2) is described. The synthesis of H2L1 and HL2 has been achieved by the condensation of salicylaldehyde with the amine group of upper rim monoamine p-tert...
