Protonation of the reactive intermediate produced in the  reaction between trimethyl phosphite and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate or diethyl acetylenedicarboxylate by resorcinol, 5-methylresorcinol, 2,5-dihydroxyacetophenone, 4-chloro-2-methylphenol, 4-chloro-3,5-dimethy-lphenol, 4-hydroxypyridine, 2-hydroxypyridine, 3-hydroxypyridine, or 8-hydroxyquinoline leads to vinylphosphonium salts,...

In continuation of our research program to develop original synthetic methods using TDAE methodology on nitroheterocyclic substrates, we were able generate for the first time a stable carbanion in position 2 5-nitroimidazole scaffold. Starting from 2-chloromethyl-4-phenylsulfonylmethyl-5-nitroimidazole intermediate, prepared by vicarious nucleophilic substitution hydrogen (VNS) reaction, select...

Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) matches lung perfusion to ventilation for optimizing pulmonary gas exchange; however, the underlying mechanism has not yet been fully elucidated. Lung nitric oxide (NO) generation appears to be involved in this process. Recently, mitochondria have been proposed as oxygen sensors, with HPV signaling via a hypoxia-induced increase in the generation of reac...

Thiobacillus thiooxidans cells oxidized elemental sulfur to sulfite, with 1 mol of O(2) consumption per mol of sulfur oxidized to sulfite, when the oxidation of sulfite was inhibited with 2-n-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline N-oxide.

The title compound, C(9)H(9)NO(6)S, was prepared by the reaction of methanol and thionyl chloride with 4-methyl-sulfonyl-2-nitro-benzoic acid under mild conditions. The dihedral angle between the nitro group and benzene ring is 21.33 (19)° and that between the carboxyl-ate group and the benzene ring is 72.09 (17)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak inter-molecular bifurcated C-H⋯O int...

In the title compound, C(15)H(12)ClNO(3), the central C-C(O)-N-C amide unit makes dihedral angles of 6.60 (2) and 3.42 (2)°, respectively, with the 4-chloro-benzene and anilino rings. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 3.32 (3)°. Intra-molecular N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds form S(6) rings and contribute to the planarity of this portion of the mol-ecule. In the crystal, inter...

In the title compound, C15H14O4, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 67.18 (8)°. The Ca-Cm-O-Ca (a = aromatic and m = methyl-ene) torsion angle is 172.6 (3)° and an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into zigzag chains propagating in [001] and C-H⋯π inter-actions also occur.

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(16)H(16)N(2)O(5)S, has the shape of the letter V but with a small twist; the dihedral angle formed between the benzene rings is 79.66 (9)°. The presence of an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond, leading to an S(6) ring, correlates with the near coplanarity of the carboxyl-ate ester group with the benzene ring to which it is connected. The acetamide residu...
