The asymmetric unit of the title salt, C(7)H(10)N(+)·Br(-), comprises two 2,6-dimethyl-pyridinium cations and two bromide anions. One cation and one anion are situated in general positions, while the other cation and the other anion lie on a crystallographic mirror plane parallel to (010). Each pair of ions inter-act via N-H⋯Br and C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonding, generating motifs depending on the cat...

A simple chemical procedure for synthesis of 1-O-alkyl-(rac or sn)-glycero-3-phosphocholine (alkyl analog of lysophosphatidylcholine, II) and platelet activating factor (PAF), 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (III) has been described. The key step of the method is the decomposition of 1-O-hexadecyl-3-diazohydroxyacetone (A. K. Hajra, T. V. Saraswathi and A. K. Das, 1983. Chem. Phy...

In this study, montmorillonite (MMT) modified by a cationic surfactant (Hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide, HDTMA) was used as adsorbent to the removal of methyl red (MR) from aqueous solution. The effect of different parameters includes surfactant loading rate, contact time, pH, adsorbent dosage, and initial MR content was investigated on the sorption. The sorption capacity was increased by i...

Irreversible white spot lesion (WSL) occurs in up to 50% of patients during orthodontic treatment. Therefore, orthodontic adhesives need to be able to inhibit or reduce bacterial growth in order to prevent or minimize WSL. This study evaluated the antibacterial effect and shear bond strength (SBS) of a resin-based orthodontic adhesive containing the antibacterial monomer 2-methacryloxylethyl he...

Protonated heterocyclic amines, such as pyridinium, have been utilized as catalysts in the electrocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide. While these represent a new and exciting class of electrocatalysts, the details of the mechanism and faradaic processes occurring in solution are unclear. We report a series of cyclic voltammetry experiments involving Pt, Ag, Au, and Cu electrodes, under both ...

In this study, a novel type of pyridinium-based tags, 1-[3-[(2-iodo-1-oxoethyl)amino]propyl]-4-methylpyridinium bromide (IMP) and 1-[3-[(2-iodo-1-oxoethyl)amino]propyl]-4-propylpyridinium bromide (IPP), were designed, synthesized, and applied to the derivatization of thiol-containing peptides. With model peptides as the sample, the labeling efficiency and the stability of the peptide derivative...

Quaternary pyridinium salts with chains ranging from C8 to C20 belong in the large group of cationic surfactants. In this paper, the preparation of such cationic surface active agents based on the pyridinium moiety and differing in the length of the N-alkyl chain is described. Additionally, HPLC technique was established to distinguish each prepared pyridinium analogue. This study represents un...

Iron-based oxide catalysts for the NH3–SCR (selective catalytic reduction of NOx by NH3) reaction have gained attention due to their high activity and structural adjustability. In this work, iron–niobium, iron–titanate iron–molybdenum composite oxides were synthesized a co-precipitation method with or without assistance hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB). The CTAB (FeM0.3Ox-C, M = Nb, ...

Two kinds of glycosphingolipid analogues from the earthworm Pheretima hilgendorfi were synthesized as follows: the trisaccharide 2-(tetradecyl)hexadecyl alpha-D-mannopyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->6)-beta-D- galactopyranoside (13) and the tetrasaccharide 2-(tetradecyl) hexadecyl alpha-D-galactopyranosyl-(1-->6)-[alpha-D-mannopyranosyl-(1-->4)]-beta-D - galactopyranosyl-(1-->6)-b...
