Nα-Urocanylhistamine and two related compounds were synthesized by using PyBOP coupling protocols. These compounds represent naturally occurring histamine derivatives.

By using broken lines to represent coordination interactions in organometallic and other coordinated compounds, we can draw structures satisfying the valencies of the atoms present. These broken lines should be used to replace many false single coval...

The synthesis of 6-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-(2-aminopropyl)phenyl)hexylthiol, an agonist with a very high affinity for the 5HT_2A serotonin receptor subtype is reported. This agonist was designed to be attached to highly fluorescent cadmium selenide/zinc sulf...

The title compounds were synthesized from C-aryl-N-methylglycines by Naroylation followed by a cyclodehydration to form the corresponding 1,3-oxazolium-5-olates. These were not isolated but converted to the title compounds by an in situ 1,3-dipolar c...

The 5,6,9,10-tetrahydro-7,8-benzocyclooctenedione 4 has been synthesized through fragmentation of a bicyclo[4.2.0]octane system using an acyloin reaction on the trans-2,3-dicarboethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene 1 in the presence of trimethylchlor...

Easy and effective preparations of nearly pure (diacetoxyiodo)arenes, ArI(OAc)₂, from iodoarenes, ArI, are reported. In most cases the crude colorless products thus obtained need not be further purified, i.e., by recrystallization. As an example, the...

Easy and effective preparations of the nearly pure [bis(trifluoroacetoxy)-iodo]arenes, ArI(OCOCF)₃, from some iodoarenes, ArI, are reported, using an anhydrous sodium percarbonate/(CF₃CO)₂O/CH₂Cl₂ system. The colorless, freshly prepared ArI(OCOCF₃)₂...

The accumulation of isoflavonoid phytoalexins was studied in several Colombian bean cultivars resistant and susceptible to Colletotrichum lindemuthianum fungus, the causal agent of anthrachnose disease. A time-course accumulation analysis on seedling...

Correlations of AM1 and PM3 theoretical data, ¹³C-NMR substituent chemical shifts (¹³C-SCS) and IR carbonyl group wave numbers [ν(C₃═O)] were studied using dual substituent parameter (DSP) models for 5-substituted indole-2,3-diones. For the C₇ atom a...

The reaction of alkyl-substituted benzenes with o-chloranil at an elevated temperature was found to give 4,5,6,7-tetrachloro-1,3-benzodioxoles via benzylic oxidation and subsequent acetal formation, albeit in poor yields.
