In the title compound, C(20)H(15)BrN(2)O(2), the C=N double bond displays a trans configuration. The crystal structure features an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond.

A mixture oftrimethylchlorosilane (TMS-Cl), lithium and tetrahydrofuran (THF) reacts with imines to produce disilyl compound by addition of two trimethylsilyl (TMS) groups to the double bond of the imine. On hydrolysis the TMS on nitrogen is substituted by hydrogen and yields ? -silylamine. In the presence of acetyl chloride (CH COC1), benzene and pyridine, the ?-silyamine produces the corresp...

Triethylchalcogenostiboranes Et3Sb[double bond, length as m-dash]E (E = S , Se ) were synthesized and their solid state structures were determined. The Sb-Se bond length is the shortest ever reported. Short SbE contacts were not observed. According to quantum chemical calculations, the bonding situation in and is best described as a polarized Sb-E single bond.

The labile germylene hydride L(Cy)GeH is capable of activating CO2 affording the corresponding formate L(Cy)GeOCH([double bond, length as m-dash]O) (2) (L(Cy) = cyclo-C6H8-1-NAr-2-C(Ph)NAr, Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3). Compound and the previously reported LGeOCH([double bond, length as m-dash]O) (L = CH(MeC[double bond, length as m-dash]NAr)2, Ar = 2,6-iPr2C6H3) (2) could be further converted to methano...

In the title Schiff base, C(15)H(14)FN, the N=C bond length of 1.263 (2) Å is shorter than the N-C bond [1.426 (2) Å], indicating a typical imine double bond. Moreover, the C-N-C angle is 118.5 (2)°. The benzene rings form a dihedral angle of 51.22 (5)°.

The title compound, C(6)H(10)O(3)S(2), features a planar C atom connected to one O and two S atoms, the C-S single bond being distinctly longer than the C-S double bond. Two mol-ecules are linked by an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond about a center of inversion, generating a dimer.

Acetonitrile chemical ionization tandem mass spectrometry has recently been shown to be a rapid method for the identification of double-bond position and geometry in methyl esters of conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs); however, the structures of intermediate and diagnostic ions and their mechanisms of formation are not known. A mechanism is proposed here in which the m/z 54 ion, (1-methyleneimino...

a mixture oftrimethylchlorosilane (tms-cl), lithium and tetrahydrofuran (thf) reacts with imines to produce disilyl compound by addition of two trimethylsilyl (tms) groups to the double bond of the imine. on hydrolysis the tms on nitrogen is substituted by hydrogen and yields ? -silylamine. in the presence of acetyl chloride (ch coc1), benzene and pyridine, the ?-silyamine produces the correspo...

Structure and excited state isomerisation pathway of retinal in the channelrhodopsin chimera C1C2 have been investigated with combined quantum mechanical/molecular mechanical (QM/MM) techniques, applying CD-MS-CASPT2//CASSCF and DFT-MRCI quantum methods. The absorbing S1 state is of (1)Bu-like character, and the second excited S2 state is dominated by HOMO-LUMO double excitation with small osci...

Most mammalian sphingolipids contain a 4,5-(E)-double bond. We report on the chemical synthesis of a dihydroceramide derivative that prevents the introduction of the double bond into sphingolipids. Minimal alteration of the parent structure by formally replacing the hydrogen atoms in the 5- and in the 6-position of the sphinganine backbone by a methylene group leads to an inhibitor of dihydroce...
