In the reaction of 7-chloro-1,5-benzodiazepine-2,4-dione with N,N-dimethyl-formamide/dimethyl-acetal, the diazepine seven-membered ring undergoes a contraction to form the five-membered ring. The reaction yields two isomers the title compound, C(13)H(14)ClN(3)O(2); the major component has the chlorine-atom substituent in the 5-position of the benzimidazolone ring and the minor component has the...

The asymmetric unit of the title polymeric compound, [Zn(3)(C(10)H(8)O(4))(3)(C(5)H(5)N)(2)](n) or [Zn(3)(dmbdc)(3)(py)(2)](n) (dmbdc = 2,5-dimethyl-benzene-dicarboxyl-ate; py = pyridine) contains two Zn(II) ions, one of which is located on an inversion centre, one and a half 2,5-dimethyl-benzene-dicarboxyl-ate ligands and one pyridine ligand. Each ZnO(6) octa-hedron is sandwiched between two Z...

Abstract. Rate coefficients for the reaction of NO3 radicals with a series aromatic aldehydes were measured in 7300 L simulation chamber at ambient temperature and pressure by relative absolute methods. The rate benzaldehyde (BA), ortho-tolualdehyde (O-TA), meta-tolualdehyde (M-TA), para-tolualdehyde (P-TA), 2,4-dimethyl (2,4-DMBA), 2,5-dimethyl (2,5-DMBA) 3,5-dimethyl (3,5-DMBA) k1= 2.6 ± 0.3,...

The title compound, C(17)H(16)N(2)O(6), is a decomposition product of the hypertension drug nifedipine [systematic name: dimethyl 2,6-dimethyl-4-(2-nitro-phen-yl)-1,4-dihydro-pyridine-3,5-dicarboxyl-ate]. The dihedral angle between the nitro-sophenyl ring and the pyridine ring is 67.1 (5)°.

The biologically active title compounds have been isolated from Hibiscus sabdariffa plants, hibiscus acid as a dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate [systematic name: (2S,3R)-3-hy-droxy-5-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetra-hydro-furan-2,3-di-carb-oxy-lic acid dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate], C6H6O7·C2H6OS, (I), and hibiscus acid dimethyl ester [systematic name: dimethyl (2S,3R)-3-hy-droxy-5-oxo-2,3,4,5-tetra-hydro-fur...

Experimental vapor pressures, vaporization, fusion and sublimation enthalpies of a number of dialkyl benzenedicarboxylates have been examined by correlation gas chromatography (CGC) experiments in order to identify a series of experimental measurements that appear to be internally self-consistent. The compounds studied in this regard include dimethyl phthalate dimethyl terephthalate, dimethyl i...

Friend murine erythroleukemia cells underwent apparently normal erythropoiesis when treated with dimethyl sulfoxide. One of the earliest events associated with this induction was a decrease in ouabain sensitive 86Rb+ uptake, an assay of the plasma membrane Na,K(ATPase). Ammonium vanadate (10 microM) blocked differentiation of these cells without affecting cell viability. Vanadium was taken up b...

The title compound, C(18)H(20)O(4), was synthesized by the reaction of 4-methoxy-benzaldehyde, 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-dione and 5,5-dimethyl-cyclo-hexane-1,3-dione with triethyl-benzyl-ammonium chloride in water as a green solvent. In the mol-ecule of the title compound, the six-membered pyran-one ring of the hexa-hydro-coumarin system has a screw-boat conformation while that of the dimet...

Dimethyl fumarate is an orally bioavailable compound for the treatment of multiple sclerosis and psoriasis. A mechanism involving nuclear factor erythroid 2-like 2 activation has been proposed to account for its efficacy in multiple sclerosis. Here, we report that dimethyl fumarate inhibits expression of integrin α4 on circulating lymphocytes in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis mice an...

The direct nucleophilic addition of alkyl amines to the α(δ')-carbon atom of dimethyl (E)-hex-2-en-4-ynedioate to generate α,β-dehydroamino acid derivatives is reported. Herein, we have studied the reactivity of various primary and secondary alkyl amines in the α-selective nucleophilic conjugate addition to conjugated dimethyl (E)-hex-2-en-4-ynedioate. The reaction with primary alkyl amines giv...
