The structures of l-phenyl-3-methyl-pyrazolone-5 and its benzoyl derivatives have been investigated by means of IR, UV, NMR, and mass spectral spectroscopy. 1-Phenyl 3-methyl-pyrazolone-5 is found to exist as a zwitter ion in the solid state, in the 5-keto form in chloroform and dioxane, and in the 5-hydroxy form in pyridine. The 4-benzoyl derivative of l-phenyl-3-methyl-pyrazolone-5 is shown t...

The reactions of isatins, 3-amino-1-pheyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one, and monocyclic ketones, have been developed for preparation spiro[indoline-3,4'-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline]-2,3'(6'H)-dione, spiro[cyclohepta[b]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyridine-4,3'-indoline]-2′,3-dione, spiro[cycloocta[b]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyridine-4,3'-indoline]-2′,3(6H)-dione, spiro[cyclo dodeca[b]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyridine-4,3'-indoline]-2′,3(6H...

Hen liver microsomes, when extracted with aqueous acetone, lose their ability to desaturate stearyl coenzyme A to oleate. The desaturase activity of these particles is partially restored by addition of lipid micelles prepared from microsomal lipid. Fractionation of the microsomal lipid yields fractions which are tested for their ability to restore the desaturase activity. A mixture of phospholi...

The (Z)-4-aryliden-2-(2-acetoxyphenyl)-5(4H)oxazolones 1a-1c react with H2SO4 to give the corresponding (Z)-4-aryliden-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-5(4H)oxazolones 2a-2c.The molecular structures of 1c and 2a have been determined by X-ray diffraction methods, show planar skeletons. Oxazolones 2a-2c are potential C,N,O-tridentate ligands towards transition metals, their design obeys search a rigid environ...
