The mol-ecular structure of the title Schiff base compound, C(26)H(20)N(2)O(3), shows that respective methyl-idene residues are almost coplanar with the adjacent terminal benzene ring owing to the presence of intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds [the N-C-C-C torsion angles are -6.6 (7) and -6.7 (7)°]. However, twists are exhibited about each methyl-idene and respective benzene ring connected to...

The title compound, C(21)H(16)N(2)O(2), was derived from 1-(2-hydroxy-phen-yl)-3-(4-methoxy-phen-yl)propane-1,3-dione. The pyrazole ring and one of the hydr-oxy-substituted benzene rings are approximately coplanar, forming a dihedral angle of 7.5 (3)°. The relative conformation of these rings may be influenced by an intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular ...

To construct high-performance organoboron-based blue emitters for electroluminescent (EL) devices, two diboron complexes have been synthesized through the chelation of 2-(1-phenyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-2-yl)phenol or 2-(2-pyridyl)phenol ligands with both boron atoms of the 9,10-diboraanthracene group. These complexes exhibit bright blue emissions in solution and in solid films with fluorescence ...

The title compound, 0.75C(15)H(14)N(2)O·0.25C(15)H(14)N(2)O, is a co-crystal of 2-methyl-6-(6-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)phenol as the major component and 2-methyl-6-(5-methyl-1H-benz-imidazol-2-yl)phenol as the minor component. The refined site-occupancy ratio is 0.746 (4)/0.254 (4). The conformations of both components are identical except for that of the methyl substituent on the benzene ri...

Balanites aegyptiaca (Balanitaceae) is a widely grown desert plant with multiuse potential. In the present paper, a crude extract from B. aegyptiaca seeds equivalent to a ratio of 1 : 2000 seeds to the extract was screened for antiplasmodial activity. The determined IC(50) value for the chloroquine-susceptible Plasmodium falciparum NF54 strain was 68.26 μg/μL ± 3.5. Analysis of the extract by g...

Plasma acid phosphatase estimation is of established value in the diagnosis of carcinoma of the prostate with bone secondaries, and in the assessment of stilboestrol treatment (Gutman and Gutman, 1938; Herbert, 1946; Wray, 1956). Modifications of the method of Gutman and Gutman (1938), using disodium phenyl phosphate substrate, and estimating the phenol liberated with Folin and Ciocalteu reagen...

Plastics and glues are common causes of occupational dermatoses, but only few reports have dealt with patch-test reactions caused by plastic and glue allergens. Patients exposed to plastics and remitted to an occupational dermatology clinic, were patch-tested with 50-53 plastic and glue allergens during a 6-year period. Conventional patch-test techniques were used. The most common causes of all...

We describe a new chromogenic substrate and assay for determining N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (EC 3.2.1.30; NAG) activity in normal and pathological human urine. The novel substrate, ammonium 5-[4-(2-acetamido-2-deoxy-beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-3- methoxyphenylmethylene]-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one-3-ethan oate (VRA-GlcNAc), is prepared by condensation of vanillyl N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminide...

Sugars are fundamental building blocks for living organisms and their interaction with proteins plays a central role in fundamental biological processes, such as energy storage and production, post-transductional modifications or immune response. Understanding those processes require deep knowledge of the forces that drive the interactions at the molecular level. Here we explore the interaction...

Diphenyl carbonate (DPC) is a precursor in the production of polycarbonate, an important engineering thermoplastic with excellent mechanical and optical properties as well as electrical and heat resistance properties. Traditionally, DPC is synthesized by the transesterification reaction of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and phenol. In the study, phenyl acetate is used instead of phenol to react with ...
