Reaction of thionyl chloride with 7-chloro-1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4- oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid 1 gave acid chloride 2. Compound 2 was reacted with glycine and D-glutamic acid to afford 2-(7-chloro-1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-1,4- dihydroquinoline-3-carbonyl) aminopantandioicacid 3a and 2-(7-chloro-1-cyclopropyl-6- fluoro -4- oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carbonyl)aminoacetica...

abstract background: recent studies have suggested that oxidative stress (os) may have a contribution in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. however, the results of previous studies regarding os in endometriosis are controversial. the objective of this study was to compare the serum levels of os markers in endometriosis versus the control group. methods: this case-control study was carried out o...

The title compound, [Ru(2)(C(13)H(15)S)(2)(CO)(4)], is a centrosymmetric binuclear metal-carbonyl complex containing an Ru-Ru single bond [2.7511 (8) Å]. Each Ru(I) atom is coordinated by two bridging carbonyl ligands, one terminal carbonyl ligand and one η(5)-cyclo-penta-dienyl group. The complex has a trans conformation and the two cyclo-penta-dienyl ring planes are parallel. The crystal stru...

Attachment of a transition metal moiety to an olefinic ligand presents the organic chemist with unequaled opportunities to control the regio- and stereospecificities of bond formation. Applications of cationic dienyliron-carbonyl complexes to a range of natural product syntheses have been developed. These applications show how the iron-carbonyl unit directs the regio- and stereochemistry of nuc...

The ester carbonyl stretch frequencies of complexes of the macrotetrolide nonactin with Na(+), K(+), Rb(+), Cs(+), Tl(+), NH(4)(+), NH(3)OH(+), and (NH(2))(2)CNH(2)(+) have been measured. For the larger alkali cations and the polyatomic cations, the ester carbonyl stretch frequency is linearly proportional to the cation-ester carbonyl electrostatic interaction energy. This constitutes direct ev...

Current limitations in protein structure prediction and design suggest an incomplete understanding of the forces governing protein folding. As such, noncovalent interactions in proteins, particularly hydrogen bonds, have received great attention [1,2]. In common secondary structure patterns like the α-helix and β-sheet, main-chain N–H hydrogen bond donors approach their carbonyl acceptors appro...

Because carbonyl groups are ubiquitous in organic chemistry, the ability to synthesize functionalized carbonyl compounds, particularly enantioselectively, is an important objective. We have developed a straightforward and versatile method for catalytic asymmetric carbon–carbon bond formation at the γ-position of carbonyl compounds, specifically, phosphine-catalyzed additions of malonate esters ...

In the title triangulo-triruthenium compound, [Ru(3)(C(6)H(12)Cl(3)O(3)P)(CO)(11)], one equatorial carbonyl ligand is substituted by a monodentate phosphite ligand, leaving one equatorial and two axial carbonyl ligands on one Ru atom. The remaining two Ru atoms each carry two equatorial and two axial terminal carbonyl ligands. In the crystal structure, the mol-ecules are linked into a one-dimen...

Because carbonyl groups can participate in both hydrogen bonds and n→π* interactions, these two interactions likely affect one another. Herein, enhancement of an amidic n→π* interaction is shown to reduce the ability of β-keto amides to tautomerize to the enol, indicating decreased hydrogen-bonding capacity of the amide carbonyl group. Thus, an n→π* interaction can have a significant effect on ...
