Rotationally resolved S S fluorescence excitation spectra of 2-methyl anisole (2MA) and 3-methyl anisole (3MA) have been obtained in the environment of a supersonic jet environment. The derived values of the rotational constants show that 2MA itself has a planar heavy-atom structure with trans-disposed methoxy groups in both electronic states. No evidence for any other conformational isomers wa...

The methanolic extract of Musa ABB cv Pisang Awak was investigated for the polyphenolic contents and antioxidant activity. The total phenol and flavonoid contents of the fruit extract were found to be 120 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE) and 440 mg quercetin equivalents (QE)/100 g of sample dry weight, respectively. The antioxidant activity of the Pisang Awak methanol extract (PAME) (20-500 mic...

The Ames assay employing Salmonella typhimurium TA100 and TA98 was used to investigate potential interactions between aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and the phenolic antioxidants butylated hydroxytoluene, butylated hydroxyanisole, and propyl gallate. AFB1 doses were within the linear response range, and the antioxidants were used at levels of 0 to 50 micrograms per plate. All three antioxidants were nonmu...

1,3-Dipolar cycloadditions of (1Z,4R∗,5R∗)-4-benzamido-3-oxo-5-phenylpyrazolidin-1-ium-2ides 3a – e to ethyl propiolate (4) were studied. The reactions were carried out in anisole under reflux and in anisole under microwave irradiation at 150 ◦C. All reactions were quite non-selective and furnished mixtures of isomeric cycloadducts, 5, 5′, 6, and 6′, with ethyl (1S∗,6R∗,7R∗)-6-benzamido-1(4-nit...

The new dialkyl(aryl) lithium zincates [(THF)(2)Li(C(6)H(4)-OMe)MeZnMe] (4), [(TMEDA)Li(C(6)H(4)-OMe)MeZnMe] (6), [(THF)(3)Li(C(6)H(4)-OMe)(t)BuZn(t)Bu] (7), and [(PMDETA)Li(C(6)H(4)-OMe)(t)BuZn(t)Bu] (8) have been prepared by co-complexation reactions of lithiated anisole with the relevant dialkylzinc compound and the relevant Lewis base. These new heterobimetallic compounds have been characte...

Abstract Substituted benzenes such as phenol, benzaldehyde, and anisole are the simplest fragments from lignin separation feedstocks. We have collected available primary experimental results on vapour pressures, enthalpies of phase transition, combustion anisole. The resulting data gas-phase standard molar formation were validated using quantum chemical method G4. consistent sets evaluated ther...
