Most protein functions associated with pathological conditions are mediated by protein conformational changes and protein-protein interactions.[...]

A rapid and simple method for the preparation of 1-ethoxycarbonyl-4-substituted-semicarbazides has been developed. As examples the reaction of six different isocyanates with ethyl carbazate under solvent-free conditions are reported.

The diazonium salt of 3-(4-aminophenyl)-2-methyl-3H-quinazolin-4-one (2a) and its 6-bromo derivative 2b reacted with some active methylene compounds, namely ethyl acetoacetate (3), ethyl cyanoacetate (4) and acetylacetone (5), to afford the correspon...

A solvent-free procedure using PhCOCl-Py/basic alumina under microwave irradiation has been developed for N-, O- and S-benzoylation.

Domestic microwave ovens as well as laboratory reactors have been successfully employed to prepare dialkyl 1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylates and to induce the synthesis of the corresponding aromatic derivatives. In that latter particular case, u...

In the reaction of N-methylbenzenesulfenamide (1) with thioanisole (4) in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), the initial rate υ0 of total appearance of 2- and 4-(methylthio)phenyl phenyl sulfides (5) is first and zero order with respect to t...
