1-(8-Hydroxy quinolin-2yl-methyl) thiourea ligand (HTF) was synthesized from 8-hydroxyquinoline and thiourea with formaldehyde by condensation method in N,N-dimethyl foramide medium. The metal complexes Zn(II), Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) were prepared using the 1-(8-hydroxy quinolin-2yl-methyl) thiourea as ligand. The ligand and its metal complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR...

A series of thiourea and isothiouronium salt derivatives of the aglycone of teicoplanin was prepared by reaction of the terminal amino group with isothiocyanates, followed by S-alkylation of the thiourea compounds. Unexpectedly, the two classes of derivatives show a similar in vitro antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. Thiourea compounds, due to the lack of a positively charge...

A variety of organocatalysts were screened for the catalysis of the naphthoquinone monoketal Diels-Alder reaction. In this study we found that Schreiner's thiourea catalyst 10 and Jacobson's thiourea catalyst 12 facilitate the cycloaddition of the sterically hindered naphthoquinone monoketal dienophile 3 with diene 4. The use of thiourea catalysis allowed for the first time the highly selective...

Monophenol monooxygenase (monophenol, dihydroxyphenylalanine:oxygen oxidoreductase EC 1.14.18.1) was studied in melanin-positive and melanin-negative mutants of Streptomyces lincolnensis NCIB 9413, varying in the lincomycin synthesizing ability. The activities of laccase and tyrosine phenol lyase (EC 4.1.99.2) are absent in this organism. The monophenol monooxygenase catalyzes hydroxylation of ...

A new clip-like receptor, which comprises two thiourea-based binding groups and two naphthalene units, has been designed and synthesized as a fluorescent chemosensor for distinguishing o-phthalate from two other isomers of dicarboxylates. Upon the addition of these three ions, the emission intensity at 420 nm (excitation at 340 nm) decreases drastically through PET. When excited at 380 nm, a ne...

Homoleptic LiNacNac forms simple donor–acceptor complexes with N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (CyN═C═NCy), triphenylphosphine oxide (Ph3P═O), and benzophenone (Ph2CO). These crystallographically characterized compounds could be regarded as model intermediates en route to reducing the N═C, P═O, C═O bonds of unsaturated substrates. Heteroleptic NacNacMg(TMP) intriguingly functions a TMP nucleophil...

However, the conventional gold recovery process is cyanidation, due to the recent environmental laws; researchers are looking for alternative methods for the recovery of gold. Furthermore, the copper anode slime is one of the most important secondary sources of gold (about 1200 ppm). So, the main objective of the current work is gold separation from copper anode slime as a rich secondary source...

The synthesis, structure, and reactions of (acylimino)triaryl-lambda(5)-bismuthanes and a comparative study of the structure and reactivity of a series of (acylimino)pnictoranes are reported. Treatment of ortho-substituted triarylbismuth dichlorides 1 (Ar(3)BiCl(2); Ar = 2-MeC(6)H(4), 2-MeOC(6)H(4), 2,4,6-Me(3)C(6)H(2)) with amides 2 (H(2)NCOR; R = CF(3), CCl(3), 3,5-(CF(3))(2)C(6)H(3)) in the ...

A series of 1-acyl-3-(2'-aminophenyl) thiourea derivatives were designed and synthesized. The structures of all the newly synthesized compounds were identified by IR, elemental analysis, ¹H-NMR and ¹³C-NMR. Their anti-intestinal nematode activities against Nippostrongylus brazilliensis were evaluated in rats by an oral route. Among these compounds, at concentrations of 10 mg/kg of rat, compound...
