The title compound, C(15)H(14)O(2), was obtained by Friedel-Crafts acyl-ation between 2,5-dimethyl-phenol and benzoyl chloride in the presence of aluminium chloride as a catalyst. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 61.95 (4)°. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonding and C-H⋯O weak inter-actions lead to polymeric C(6), C(8) and C(11) chains along the a, b and c-axis directions, respe...

background: lead is an industrial heavy metal that can decrease sperm motility. objective: the aim was to investigate the protective effects of calcium against lead on motility of spermatozoa. materials and methods: in total 40 adult male swiss white mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (control, lead of 1st wk, lead of 2nd wk, lead/calcium of 1st wk and lead/calcium of 2nd wk). the lead gr...

A series of beta-diketiminate lead halide complexes has been synthesised LPbCl (2), LPbBr (3) and LPbI (4) (L = {N(2,6-(i)Pr(2)C(6)H(3))C(Me)}2CH]), which includes a rare example of a three-coordinate lead iodide (4). The chloride and bromide complexes, 2 and 3, are relatively stable in both the solid and solution states, only slowly decomposing to elemental lead over the course of a month in s...

The consumption of sodium in excessive amount may lead to heart disease, which is the first leading cause of death in the United States. Process cheese is one of the high salt containing milk products. The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of potassium chloride (KCl) and potassium based emulsifying salts as a salt (NaCl) replacer on the chemical and microbiological...
