Oxidation of different types of 1,4-dihydropyridines with diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPP) and benzoyl peroxide (Bz2O2) as free radical oxidizing agents to pyridine derivatives is reported and a mechanism for this oxidation is also proposed.

Since FOX-7 (1, 1-diamino-2, 2-dinitroethylene) is a relatively new energetic material, little is known about its physical and chemical properties. Therefore, first-principles quantum chemical calculations are used to predict the energies of atoms of FOX-7. Under gentle heating (thermolysis) is likely to cause hydrogen transfer between molecules, producing highly reactive chemical species. Conv...

In many species benzoate is conjugated in the liver with glycine to form hippurate, after prior formation of benzoyl-CoA, which then reacts with glycine in a transacylation catalysed by glycine N-acylase (EC 2.3.1.13) (Bridges et al., 1970). This enzyme has been prepared from mitochondria (Schachter & Taggart, 1954; Bartlett & Gompertz, 1974), although there is no information about its submitoc...

1. There is no effective anti-H5N1 avian influenza agent. 2. A chemical compound— BFDBSC—can inhibit H5N1 virus infection in cell cultures, and such inhibition might be attributable to its halogenated benzoyl residues. 3. This pilot study assessed anti- H5N1 activity and toxicity of four chemical compounds with halogenated benzoyl residues in cell culture system. 4. Two compounds—FPBFDBSC and B...

In the structure of the the title compound, C(13)H(9)Cl(2)NO, the N-H and C=O groups are mutually trans. Furthermore, the conformation of the C=O group is syn to the ortho-chloro group in the benzoyl ring, while the N-H bond is anti to the meta-chloro group in the aniline ring. The amide group forms dihedral angles of 89.11 (19) and 22.58 (37)°, respectively, with the benzoyl and aniline rings,...

Biological synthesis of pharmaceuticals and biochemicals offers an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional chemical synthesis. These alternative methods require the design of metabolic pathways and the identification of enzymes exhibiting adequate activities. Cinnamoyl, dihydrocinnamoyl, and benzoyl anthranilates are natural metabolites which possess beneficial activities for human...

The title compound, C(21)H(22)N(2)O(3), was synthesized by the reaction of tert-butyl-hydrazine with phthalic anhydride and further O-benzoyl-ation of the resulting inter-mediate by 3,5-dimethyl-benzoyl chloride. Inter-molecular C-H⋯O=C inter-actions link the mol-ecules into layers.

4-Chlorobenzoyl-coenzyme A (4-CBA-CoA) dehalogenase catalyzes the hydrolysis of 4-CBA-CoA to 4-hydroxybenzoyl-coenzyme A (4-HBA-CoA), using the carboxylate side chain of aspartate 145 to displace the chloride from C(4) of the benzoyl ring. Previous UV-visible, Raman, and 13C NMR studies of enzyme-bound substrate analog or product ligand indicated that the environment of the enzyme active site i...

The enzymes catalyzing the initial reactions in the anaerobic degradation of 2-aminobenzoic acid (anthranilic acid) were studied with a denitrifying Pseudomonas sp. anaerobically grown with 2-aminobenzoate and nitrate as the sole carbon and energy sources. Cells grown on 2-aminobenzoate are simultaneously adapted to growth with benzoate, whereas cells grown on benzoate degrade 2-aminobenzoate s...
