caffeic acid phenethyl ester(cape) suppresses the growth of transformed cells such as human breast cancer cells, hepatocarcinoma , myeloid leukemia, colorectal cancer cells, fibrosarcoma, glioma and melanoma. a group of heterocyclic esters of caffeic acid was synthesized using mitsunobu reaction and the esters were subjected to further structural modification by electrooxidation of the catechol...

The effects of calcium and magnesium acetates on the formation of injection site and testicular tumors in male Wistar rats over 2 years following s.c. injections of cadmium chloride (CdCl2) were determined. The rats (25/group) received a single s.c. dose of CdCl2 (0.02 or 0.04 mmol/kg; 0.9% NaCl solutions). Calcium and magnesium acetates were administered as 3% dietary supplements for 2 weeks p...

A highly stereoselective desymmetrization reaction of δ,δ-diaryl-α-diazo-β-ketoesters catalyzed by chiral dirhodium carboxylates forms aromatic cycloaddition products in up to 97% ee.

A cuprous bromide-catalyzed heteroannulation reaction of [60]fullerene with ketoxime acetates has been exploited to prepare novel 1-fulleropyrrolines through the cleavage of N-O and C-H bonds and formation of C-C and C-N bonds under thermal conditions. A plausible mechanism for the formation of 1-fulleropyrrolines is proposed on the basis of the experimental results. The electrochemistry of the...

The Fourier transform microwave spectra of the E and Z isomers of butadienyl acetate were measured in the frequency range from 2 to 26.5 GHz under molecular-jet conditions. The most stable conformer of each isomer, in which all heavy atoms are located in a symmetry plane, was identified after analyzing the spectrum by comparison with the results from quantum-chemical calculations. The barriers ...

An active, recoverable, and recyclable nanocluster catalyst, Au25(SR)18(-), has been developed to catalyze the formation of α,β-unsaturated ketones or aldehydes from propargylic acetates. The catalytic process has been proposed to be initialized by an SN2' addition of OH(-). Moreover, a dramatic solvent effect was observed, for which a rational explanation was provided.
