Reaction of methyl 3-bromo-5-cyanoisothiazole-4-carboxylate with conc. H2SO4 gave 3-bromo-5-carbamoylisothiazole-4-carboxylate in 93% yield. The compound was fully characterized.

In the title centrosymmetric dinuclear complex, [Nd(2)(C(27)H(24)Br(3)N(4)O(3))(2)]·6C(3)H(7)NO, the Nd(III) ion is coordinated in a slightly distorted square-anti-prismatic geometry by four N atoms and four O atoms from two centrosymmetrically-related 1,3-bis-[2-(5-bromo-2-oxidobenzyl-amino)eth-yl]-2-(5-bromo-2-oxidophen-yl)-1,3-imidazolidine ligands. The Nd⋯Nd separation is 4.5012 (12) Å.

The synthesis of the tetracyclic compounds 1-(4,5-dichloro-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracen-11-yl)-N-methylmethanamine (5) and 1-(1,8-dichloro-9,10-dihydro-9,10-ethanoanthracen-11-yl)-N-methylmethanamine (6) as a homologue of the anxiolytic and antidepressant drugs benzoctamine and maprotiline were described. The key intermediate aldehydes (3) and (4) were successfully synthesized via a [4 + 2...

Human subjects were exposed by inhalation to 250, 500, and 1000 ppm 1,1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane (HCFC-141b) for 4 hr, and urine samples were collected from 0-4, 4-12, and 12-24 hr for metabolite analysis. 19F nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic analysis of urine samples from exposed subjects showed that 2,2-dichloro-2-fluoroethyl glucuronide and dichlorofluoroacetic acid were the major and...

Ralstonia sp. strain PS12 is able to use 2,4-, 2,5-, and 3,4-dichlorotoluene as growth substrates. Dichloromethylcatechols are central intermediates that are formed by TecA tetrachlorobenzene dioxygenase-mediated activation at two adjacent unsubstituted carbon atoms followed by TecB chlorobenzene dihydrodiol dehydrogenase-catalyzed rearomatization and then are channeled into a chlorocatechol or...
