In searching for opportunities to exploit the benefits of silicon in TRPV1 research, we tried to investigate the pharmacological effects of sila-substitution (C/Si exchange) of tert-butyl group in the MK-056 series. Compound 13a, with a 4-positioned trimethylsilanyl group on the B ring in place of tert-butyl group, exhibited the most potent antagonist activity with IC(50) values of 0.15 microM,...

In situ EPR spectroscopy at cryogenic temperatures has been used to observe and identify paramagnetic species produced when titania is irradiated in the presence of reactants used in the photocatalytic alkylation of maleimide with t-butyl carboxylic acid or phenoxyacetic acid. It is shown that maleimide acts as an acceptor of conduction band electrons. Valence band holes oxidise t-butyl carboxy...

In the title compound, [N(C4H9)4][Sn(C4H9)Cl4], the Sn(IV) atom of the stannate anion has a trigonal-bipyramidal coordination sphere by two Cl atoms and one butyl chain in the equatorial plane and by two Cl atoms in the apical positions. Two of the four butyl chains of the tetra-butyl-ammonium cation are partially disordered, each with refined site occupancies of 0.691 (6):0.309 (6). Weak C-H⋯C...

Mixed crystals of 1-(4-chlorophenylsulfonyl)-2,5-dimethyl-1 H -benzimidazole and 1-(4-chlorophenylsulfonyl)-2,6-dimethyl-1 (ratio 0.707:0.293; two molecules in the asymmetric unit), 0.707C 15 13 ClN 2 O S·0.293C S, ( I ), 2- n -butyl-1-(4- tert -butylphenylsulfonyl)-5-chloro-1 -butylphenylsulfonyl)-6-chloro-1 [ratio 0.731 (2):0.269 (2); one molecule unit], 0.731C 21 25 S·0.269C II were obtained...

We synthesized two hexaazaphenalene derivatives, 6AP-Pm (2,5-di(tert-butyl)-1,3,4,6,7,9b-hexaazaphenalene) and 6AP-Pz (2,5-di(tert-butyl)-1,3,4,6,8,9b-hexaazaphenalene) compared the electronic properties with pentaazaphenalene derivative 5AP (2,5-di(tert-butyl)-1,3,4,6,9b-pentaazaphenalene). clarified position-dependent effects of aza-substitution on states followed by optical electrochemical p...

1-Lithio-2-butyl-1,2-dihydropyridines, typically formed as intermediates in the nucleophilic substitution (addition/elimination) of pyridine with (n- or t-)butyl lithium, have been isolated and comprehensively characterized. The linear substituted isomer is polymeric while the branched substituted isomer is a cyclotrimer. The lower oligomerization of the latter complex confers exceptional hexan...

The catalytic activity of the iron(II) C-scorpionate complexes [FeCl2{HC(pz)3}] 1 (pz = pyrazol-1-yl) and [FeCl2{HOCH2C(pz)3}] 2, and of their precursor FeCl2·2H2O 3, towards cyclohexane oxidation with tert-butyl hydroperoxide was evaluated and compared in different media: acetonitrile, ionic liquids (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate, [bmim][PF6], and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ...

Cavity ringdown spectra of butyl peroxy radicals have been obtained for their A-X electronic transition in the near-IR. The radicals were produced by two independent chemical methods, allowing unambiguous assignment of the spectra of the four butyl peroxy isomers with probable conformer assignments also possible for a number of cases. Using the analyzed spectra semiquantatively, isomer specific...

Ruthenium-catalyzed butadiene-mediated benzannulation enabled the first synthesis of 3,10-(di-tert-butyl)rubicene and its N-doped derivatives as well preliminary studies on their photophysical properties. Unlike parent rubicene 3,10-(di-tert-butyl)rubicene, which adopt classical herringbone-type packing motifs in solid state, congener 7 b displayed columnar with an alternating co-facial arrange...

1. The major metabolites of 3,5-di-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxytoluene (BHT) in the rat are 3,5-di-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (BHT-acid), both free (9% of the dose) and as a glucuronide (15%), and S-(3,5-di-tert.-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)-N-acetylcysteine. 2. The mercapturic acid does not appear to derive from the usually accepted enzyme mechanism, and may involve a non-enzymic reaction between BH...
