A method for synthesis without protecting groups of bis(indolyl)methanes by the (η-benzyl)palladium system generated from a palladium catalyst and benzyl alcohol in water is developed. This domino protocol involves C3–H bond activation/benzylation of indole–carboxylic acids and benzylic C–H functionalization. Mechanistic studies indicate that the (η-benzyl)palladium(II) complex, which is formed...

The Grignard reaction of 2,3-O-isopropylidene-α-D-lyxo-pentodialdo-1,4-furanoside and benzylmagnesium chloride (or bromide) afforded a non-separable mixture of diastereomeric benzyl carbinols and diastereomeric o-tolyl carbinols. The latter resulted from an unexpected benzyl to o-tolyl rearrangement. The proportion of benzyl versus o-tolyl derivatives depended on the reaction conditions. Benzyl...

The o-nitrophenyl group at position 4 of dihydropyridine of nifedipine analogues was replaced with 2-alkylthio-1-benzyl-5-imidazolyl substituent. Starting from dihydroxyacetone 2-alkythio-1-benzyl- 5-formyl imidazole (3) was first synthesized which was subsequently used in synthesizing symmetrical (5a-f) and asymmetrical (6a,b) dihydropyridines. Primarily pharmacological studies of the title co...

The title mol-ecule, C(19)H(18)N(2)O(2), is built up from three fused rings, viz. phenyl, pyrrole and cyclo-hexane, linked to a nitro-benzyl group. The C atom bearing the nitro-benzyl group is chiral and the compound is a racemate (R/S). The dihedral angle between the nitro-benzyl and indole rings is 57.49 (5)°. The cyclo-hexane ring adopts a slightly distorted chair conformation.

Bacteria of the genus Methylobacillus are methanotrophs, a metabolic feature that is widespread in the phylum Proteobacteria. The study demonstrates the isolation and characterization of a newly isolated Methylobacillus sp. V29b. which grows on methanol, protocatechuate, monobutyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate, benzyl butyl phthalate, dioctyl phthalate and diisodecyl phthalate...

Conductance of gap junctions in many preparations has been shown to be sensitive to cytoplasmic pH, decreasing as pH decreases below 7.5 in fish and amphibian embryos and below 7.1 in crayfish septate axon. We have found a new class of compounds, benzyl acetate derivatives, that reversibly decrease junctional conductance, gj, when applied in low concentration (approximately 1 mM). Simultaneous ...

In this article, the catalytic activity of bis[2-(p-tolyliminomethyl)phenolato] copper(II) complex was studied, for the first time, in the oxidation of various primary and secondary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones. The effect of different solvent was studied in the oxidation of benzyl alcohol and methanol was chosen as the reaction medium. Also the effect of different oxidant...

Biological Electronic, Optical Properties, and Vibrational Analysis of 1-benzyl-4-formyl-1H-pyrrole 3carboxamide are studied by using a combination of DFT/B3LYP method and 6-311G (d, p) basis set. Optimized parameters of the title molecule are well-matched with the experiments. The NLO properties of 1-benzyl-4-formyl-1H-pyrrole 3carboxamide have been examined with the help of Polarizability...

We describe the degradation of chlorocarbons (CCl4, C6H5CH2Cl and CHCl3) in solution at room temperature (27 4 C) by the monolayer-protected silver quantum cluster, Ag9MSA7 (MSA: mercaptosuccinic acid) in the presence of isopropyl alcohol (IPA). The main degradation products were silver chloride and amorphous carbon. Benzyl chloride was less reactive towards clusters than CCl4 and CHCl3. Materi...
