In the solvent free oxidation of benzyl alcohol, using supported gold-palladium nanoalloys, toluene is often one of major by-products and it is formed by the disproportionation of benzyl alcohol. Gold-palladium catalysts on acidic supports promote both the disproportionation of benzyl alcohol and oxidative dehydrogenation to form benzaldehyde. Basic supports completely switch off disproportiona...

In the title compound, C30H33BrO6, the pyran-ose ring adopts a chair conformation. Two of the O-benzyl phenyl rings lie almost perpendicular to C/C/C/O plane formed by the ring atoms not attached to these O-benzyl phenyl rings, and form dihedral angles of 85.1 (2) and 64.6 (2)°, while the third O-benzyl phenyl ring is twisted so that it makes a dihedral angle 34.9 (2)° to this C/C/C/O plane. Th...

field trials with dizigotheeca elegantissima were conducted at the experimental farm of faculty of agriculture, azad university  jiroft  in growth seasons of 2012 year. the aim of this work was to study the effect of foliar application of gibberellic acid [ga3] and benzyladenine [ba] at 0, 50, 100 and 150 mgl-1 on the vegetative growth and photosynthetic pigments of d. elegantissima plants. mos...

Novel 3-(3-benzyl-2,3-dihydrobenzo[ d]thiazol-2-yl)benzo[ d]oxazole-2(3 H)-thione derivatives are efficiently synthesized in excellent yields by reactions of benzothiazoles, benzyl bromides, and 2-mercaptobenzoxazole acetone under catalyst-free conditions the presence triethylamine. The structures products confirmed nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, infrared electron ionization mass spec...

A new strategy has been developed for the benzylation of nitriles directly from benzyl alcohols. In this process benzyl alcohols undergo retro-Claisen activation with cyanoacetic esters to generate an active electrophile and a carbanionic nucleophile. In the presence of Pd(0) these intermediates undergo catalytic coupling to generate a new C-C bond, resulting in the formation of phenyl propioni...

The copper-catalyzed tandem oxidative cyclization of cinnamamides with benzyl hydrocarbons through the direct cross-dehydrogenative coupling of sp(3) and sp(2) C-H bonds has been developed. Satisfactorily, ethers, alcohols and alkanes could also be used instead of benzyl hydrocarbons in this transformation, which allows rapid access to diverse dihydroquinolinones in one step.

Benzyl 2-((E)-to yliminomethyl)penylcarbamat was prepared in good yield and characterized by the condensation reaction of benzyl 2-formylphenylcarbamate with ptoluenesulfonyl amine. The structure of the newly synthesized compound was determined using 1H, 13C-NMR, IR and ass s ectral data.

A mild and efficient method for the direct alkenylation of 2-benzyl-1,2,3-triazoles via Pd-catalyzed C-H bond activation was developed. This protocol was compatible with various substrates and gave the corresponding products in good to excellent yields. Thus, the present study provides a novel and valuable method for the synthesis of 2-benzyl-1,2,3-triazole derivatives.

A soluble up complex of nitrate reductase can be obtained from a strain of Escheri(:h:hia r:oli that lacks the narl gene and expresses only the n and p subunits. The subunit contains four Fe-S centres and the a subunit contains the molybdenum cofactor, which is the site at which nitrate is reduced. Dcspite the lack of the y subunit of the complete enzyme, this complex can still catalyse the red...

Malaria parasite metabolizes hemoglobin and detoxifies the resulting toxic ferriprotoporphyrin IX by polymerization into a crystal insoluble pigment, known as hemozoin. A polymer identical to hemozoin, β-hematin, can be obtained in vitro from hematin at acidic pH. Quinoline-containing antimalarials (e.g. chloroquine) inhibit the formation of polymer. Thus, heme polymerization is an essensial an...
