A synthesis of ±-cherylline dimethyl ether is reported. The key steps involved are Michael-type addition, radical azidonation of an aldehyde, Curtius rearrangement, and reduction of an isocyanate intermediate followed by Pictet-Spengler cyclization.

3-Methyldiphenylether (MDE) is an important alkyl-substituted diphenyl ether compound that is widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pyrethroid insecticides. An efficient MDE-degrading strain QY7-2, identified as Hydrogenophaga atypical, was isolated from activated sludge for the first time. Strain QY7-2 can utilize MDE as the sole carbon and energy source and completely mineralize ...

The title compound, C(28)H(24)N(2)O(5), a flexible Schiff base ligand, was prepared in high yield by a Schiff base condensation of 3-methoxy-salicylaldehyde and bis-(4-amino-phen-yl) ether in methanol. The mol-ecule lies on a twofold rotation axis, and each half exhibits an imine E configuration and an O-H⋯N hydrogen bond. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings attached to the central...

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(20)H(20)N(2)O(6), lies across a crystallographic inversion centre, the asymmetric unit comprising one half-mol-ecule. An intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond generates a six-membered ring, producing an S(6) ring motif. Pairs of inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link neighbouring mol-ecules into a layer with R(2) (2)(38) ring motif. The crystal structure ...

A new dimethacrylate monomer 9,9'-bis[4-(2'-hydroxy-3'-methacryloyloxy-propoxy)phenyl] fluorene (3) with a molecular weight of 634 was synthesized in 51.4% yield by addition of a glycidyl ether group to 9,9'-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl) fluorene (1) by the reaction of compound 1 with epichlorohydrin, and then introducing the methacrylate moiety by the reaction of the epoxy group with methacrylic acid. ...

In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(14)H(16)N(2)O(3), the dihedral angle between the pyridyl rings is 87.74 (3)°. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into infinite zigzag chains.

The title compound, C(16)H(12)Cl(2)O(3), crystallizes with two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angles between the planes of the benzene rings in the two independent mol-ecules are 68.65 (2) and 68.47 (3)°. The short distance of 3.899 (5) Å between the centroids of the benzene rings of neighbouring mol-ecules indicate π-π inter-actions. The crystal structure is stabil...
