In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(C(7)H(4)O(4)S)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)]·2H(2)O, the Zn(II) ion assumes a trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry completed by two N atoms from a 2,2'-bipyridine ligand, two O atoms from a 2-(3-thien-yl)malonate anion and a water mol-ecule. The S atom of the 2-(3-thien-yl)malonate ligand is disordered over two sites with an occupancy ratio of ...

introduction: the mechanism of action and metabolism of clozapine, a complex drug used in psychopharmacology, is not completely understood. the effects of this compound in human body are related to some interactions with serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitter receptors. to further elucidate the mechanism of action and to support ongoing drug metabolism studies, [14c] clozapine with suitable ra...

Monoethyl malonate (1) and tert-butyl alcohol are esterified by catalysis with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and 4-dimethylaminopyridine to yield ethyl t-butyl malonate (2). The ethoxymagnesio derivative (3) of the ester is condensed with β-carbomethoxypropionyl chloride to give the triester (4), which is decomposed by heating under vacuum in the presence of β-naphthalensulfonic acid to give ethyl m...

A 14-step total synthesis of (+/-)-salinosporamide A (1), a potent inhibitor of the 20S proteasome isolated from the marine bacterium Salinospora tropica, is described. The synthesis is based on a diastereoselective intramolecular aldolisation of a substituted beta-keto amide intermediate, i.e. 13, derived from a beta-keto acid, viz. 21, and an alpha-amino malonate, leading to the pyrrolidinone...

Alkylmalonic esters, which have been recognized as important intermediates in the syntheses of various carboxylic acids, amino acids, etc., can be obtained by a variety of methods.1) Excepting the introduction of tertiary alkyl groups, the alkylation of malonic esters with alkyl halides in basic conditions, for example, in ethanol in the presence of sodium ethoxide, is one of the most important...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, {[Ce(C(3)H(2)O(4))Cl(H(2)O)(3)]·0.5H(2)O}(n), contains a Ce(3+) atom coordinated by a chloride anion, three water mol-ecules and a malonate ligand, and one water mol-ecule of crystallization with a factor of occupancy of 50%. The malonate ligand is bonded to three different symmetry-related metal atoms yielding a one-dimensional coordination polymer ru...

In the title compound, [Mg(C3H2O4)(H2O)3] n , the metal atom is in an octa-hedral environment. The octa-hedra are connected by malonate anions, forming chains along the c-axis direction. O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link these chains into a three-dimensional network.

Malonic acid silylatesreadily to yield the expected bis-trimethylsilyl (TMS) ester; this ester reacts further in the silylating mixture to yield a tris-TMS derivative, apparently through enolization of one of the ester groups. Methylmalonic and hydroxymalonic acids behave similarly. The methyl and ethyl esters of malonic acid also silylate once with some facility. Mass spectra of these derivati...
