A new etherified 1-O-acetylbritannilactone (ABL) analogue 2 was semi-synthesized by a mild etherification reaction. The structure of the newly synthesized analogue was identified by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and HR-ESI-MS analysis. 2 exhibited similar cytotoxi...

An economically benign solvent-free approach to synthesise 2,3-dimethylbenzoxazolium methosulfate is reported in the present work. The title compound is derived from 2-methylbenzoxazole reacting with a slight excess of dimethylsulfate, at room temper...

An anthraquinone derivative, 1-hydroxy-3-(3-methylbut-2-enyloxy)anthracene-9,10-dione (4), has been synthesized in two steps from benzoic acid, 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, and prenylbromide.

The editors of Molbank would like to express their sincere gratitude to the following reviewers for assessing manuscripts in 2015. [...]

The complex [Cr(3,7diHF)3]·3H2O (3,7diHF is the monoanion of flavonoid 3,7-dihydroxyflavone) was synthetized and characterized by mass spectrometry, thermogravimetry, UV-Vis and FTIR spectroscopies. The data indicated that the coordination of the chr...

A novel hybrid consisting of quinazoline and adenine moieties has been synthesized as a precursor of a potential biologically active target compound. The structure of 9-(4-methoxyquinazolin-2-yl)-9H-purin-6-amine (2) was characterized and confirmed u...

The title compound 9-(4-hydroxybutyl)-3,3,6,6-tetramethyl-3,4,5,6,7,9-hexahydro-1H-xanthene-1,8(2H)-dione was synthesized in 72% yield through a simple, convenient and environmentally friendly one-pot reaction between dimedone and 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyra...

A novel compound, methyl 3-(quinolin-2-yl)indolizine-1-carboxylate (2) has been synthesized by cycloaddition reaction of 1-(quinolin-2-ylmethyl)pyridinium ylide (1) with methyl propiolate in presence of sodium hydride in THF. The structure of this co...

A new sterically hindered isoindoline-based 1,3-bis(5′-methyl-4′-phenyl-2′-thiazolylimino)isoindoline (1) was synthesized by fusion method with satisfyingly good yield. The structure of the newly synthesized compound was identified by FT-IR, UV-Vis,...
