Efficient methods for the convergent synthesis of (poly)cyclic scaffolds are urgently needed in synthetic and medicinal chemistry. Herein, we describe new annulation reactions of thioalkynes with phthalimide-substituted donor-acceptor cyclopropanes, which gave access to highly substituted cyclopentenes and polycyclic ring systems. With silyl-thioalkynes, the Lewis acid catalyzed [3+2] annulatio...

A series of phthiobuzone analogs, prepared from potassium phthalimide or phthalandione, have been evaluated for their antiviral activities. Among the candidates, compounds 5j and 5k, which contain the substituted 4-halogenated phenyl ring at N-4',4'' position, show more potent antiviral activity than phthiobuzone against herpes simplex virus 1 (IC(50)=8.56 and 2.85 microg/ml, respectively) and ...

Severe feather pecking (SFP) in laying hens is a detrimental behavior causing loss of feathers, skin damage and cannibalism. Previously, we have associated changes in frontal brain serotonin (5-HT) turnover and dopamine (DA) turnover with alterations in feather pecking behavior in young pullets (28-60 days). Here, brain monoamine levels were measured in adult laying hens; focusing on four brain...

In the title compound, C(14)H(7)F(2)NO(2), the phthalimide ring system is nearly planar [maximum atomic deviation = 0.028 (1) Å] and it is twisted with respect to the attached benzene ring, making a dihedral angle of 55.70 (6)°. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds are present in the crystal structure.

The phthalimide fused-ring system and the phenyl-ene ring in the title compound, C(15)H(11)NO(3), are inclined at an angle of 60.0 (1)°.

The phthalimide fused-ring system and the phenyl-ene ring in the title compound, C(15)H(11)NO(3), are inclined at an angle of 54.2 (1)°.

This paper proposes a new methodology in investigating the semantic and pragmatic properties of SFPs in Mandarin Chinese. A case study of the interaction and correlation between SFP-Ne and SpOAs--Shenzhi, Qishi, and Nanguai has been conducted. Two semantic features of [+unexpectedness] and [+intersubjectivity] have been summarized on SFP-Ne.

and Applied Analysis 3 open topic. For example, it is yet not clear whether the dual approach to (7) of [29] can be extended to the SFP. The original algorithm given in [15] involves the computation of the inverse A (assuming the existence of the inverse of A), and thus has not become popular. A seemingly more popular algorithm that solves the SFP is the CQ algorithm of Byrne [16, 21] which is ...
