The CoI2(PPh3)2/Zn system effectively catalyzes the [2 + 2 + 2] ene-diyne cycloaddition of 1,6-heptadiynes with allenes in a highly regio- and chemoselective fashion to yield substituted benzene derivatives in good to excellent yields.

A new strategy for Rh(I)-catalyzed [2+2+2] cycloadditions of 1,6-diynes with potassium (Z)-(2-bromovinyl)trifluoroborate as the third two-atom unit has been realized, which provides a facile entry to polysubstituented benzene derivatives.

Hexa-substituted benzene derivatives show larger two-photon cross sections than the corresponding dipolar counterparts and the largest values of delta(max) = 2000 GM and delta(max)/MW = 2.25 GM g(-1) have been obtained with a compound having C[triple bond]C and C=C bonds in the conjugation bridge.

We have successfully developed a new synthetic approach to modulate the electrostatic potentials of metallocavitands and thus their selective recognition towards substituted benzene derivatives via integrating two metal cations of different electronegativity into a self-assembled system.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(21)H(15)BrNO(2) (+)·CF(3)SO(3) (-), the cations form inversion dimers through π-π inter-actions between the acridine ring systems. These dimers are further linked by C-H⋯π and C-Br⋯π inter-actions. The cations and anions are connected by multidirectional C-H⋯O and C-F⋯π inter-actions. The acridine and benzene ring systems are oriented at 10.8 (1...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(22)H(18)NO(2) (+)·CF(3)SO(3) (-), adjacent cations are linked through C-H⋯π and π-π inter-actions, and the cations and anions are connected by C-H⋯O and C-F⋯π inter-actions. The acridine and benzene ring systems are oriented at a dihedral angle of 3.0 (1)°. The carboxyl group is twisted at an angle of 83.1 (1)° relative to the acridine skeleton....

An octathymidylate covalently linked via its 3'-end to an acridine derivative inhibited the cytopathic effect of Simian Virus SV40 on CV-1 cells in culture. Control experiments revealed that this effect was virus-specific and did not arise as a result of oligonucleotide degradation by nucleases. A photoactive probe was covalently attached to the 5'-end of the oligonucleotide-acridine conjugate....

Acridine dye binding by cells of Escherichia coli has been characterized in terms of a number of parameters. There is a temperature-dependent, readily reversible binding of acriflavine which occurs to a greater extent with acridine-sensitive mutants of E. coli K-12 than with wild-type E. coli B or K-12. There is an essentially irreversible internal binding of acriflavine which occurs when the c...

ABSTRACT: The interaction of two cationic dyes namely, acridine orange and pinacyanol chloride with an anionic polyelectrolyte, heparin, has been investigated by spectrophotometric method.The polymer induced metachromasy in the dyes resulting in the shift of the absorption maxima of the dyes towards shorter wavelengths. The stability of the complexes formed between acridine orange and heparin w...

In the title compound, C(23)H(20)NO(2) (+)·CF(3)SO(3) (-), the acridine ring system is oriented at a dihedral angle of 23.1 (1)° with respect to the benzene ring and the carboxyl group is twisted at an angle of 74.1 (1)° relative to the acridine skeleton. In the crystal, adjacent cations are linked through C-H⋯π inter-actions and neighboring cations and anions via weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The...
