in this researchsaccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) was used as a cheap, readily accessible, selective, efficient, and green bio-catalyst in a chemo selective reduction of carbonyl group to hydroxyl group. in this green procedure three substrates e.g. (3-(3-nitrophenyl)aziridin-2-yl)-1-phenyl-methanone, pyruvate ester, and 2-acetyl-γ-butyrolactone were reduced to their corresponding reduce...

In the title compound, C8H9BO4, the meth-oxy-carbonyl group is rotated out of the plane of the benzene ring by 7.70 (6)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via pairs of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, involving the boronic acid OH groups, forming inversion dimers. The dimers are linked via O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, involving a boronic acid OH group and the carbonyl O atom, forming undulating sheets paral...

Semisynthetic zinc chlorins are shown for the first time to self-assemble in the absence of an intrinsic hydroxy group, which is always present in the chlorosomal bacteriochlorophylls (BChl's) c, d and e. Instead, the presently studied compounds have carbonyl groups. These cannot function as hydrogen bond donating groups. However due to interspacing water molecules bound to the zinc ion, double...

Chalcones share some structural similarities with GW-1929, a highly-selective and potent agonist for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ). In this study, we tested 53 structurally diverse chalcones to identify characteristics essential for PPARγ activation in a GAL4-based transactivation assay. This screen identified several novel chalcone agonists of PPARγ. Our results indi...

background: diabetes mellitus is associated with chronic changes in peripheral arteries because of oxidative stress and insufficient antioxidative defense mechanism. omega-3 fatty acid supplementation could be effective in some diabetes complications; however, polyunsaturated fatty acids may increase lipid peroxidation. this study aimed to determine whether eicosapentaenoic acid alone or in con...

volta metric behavior of mesotrione using silver/amalgam electrode we examined in this paper.mesotrione belongs to the triketone group of herbicides. it is used against weeds in corn and operates byinhibition of 4-hydroxyphenyl piruvate in plants. there is little information about mesotrione as its presencein the market is short. for its wider application in the future, it is important to know ...

The synthesis of the title compound, C(12)H(15)BrN(2)OS, involves the reaction of 4-bromo-benzoyl chloride with potassium thio-cyanate in dry acetone, followed by condensation of 4-bromo-benzoyl isothio-cyanate with diethyl-amine. The carbonyl and thio-carbonyl bond lengths indicate that these correspond to double bonds. The short C-N bond lengths reveal the effects of resonance in this part of...

In the title compound, [RuCl(C10H8N2)2(CO)]PF6, the Ru(II) atom is coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry by four N atoms of the bipyridine ligands, a carbonyl C atom and a chloride ion. The carbonyl and chloride ligands in the cation adopt a mutually cis arrangement and these are disordered over two sets of sites with site occupancies of 0.721 (6) and 0.279 (6). The Ru-N bond length [...

The carbonyl chloride group in the title compound, C(7)H(3)ClN(2)O(5), is disordered over two orientations with occupancies of 0.505 (5) and 0.495 (5). The mol-ecule is approximately planar, the dihedral angle between the carbonyl chloride plane and benzene ring being 9.6 (4)° in the major disorder component and 7.1 (4)° in the minor component. The nitro group at the 5-position is twisted, form...

The synthesis and antibacterial activity of 1beta-methylcarbapenems with quaternary ammonium groups at the C-2 position have been studied. Two types of new carbapenem derivatives have been synthesized. These 1beta-methylcarbapenems, one type having a (2S,4S)-2-[1,1-dimethyl-2-(1-piperazinyl)carbonyl]pyrrolidinio-4-+ ++ylthio group and the other type having a (2S,4S)-2-(4-carbamoylmethyl-4-methy...
