Spontaneously resolvable conglomerate crystals are obtained by combining racemic (rac)-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-dicarboxylic acid and rac-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine, and this spontaneous resolution system is induced by water which is present in the crystallization solvent.

This paper reports a useful method for facile direct syntheses of aromatic methyl esters from methyl aromatics by aerobic photo-oxidation using anthraquinone-2,3-dicarboxylic acid as an organophotocatalyst.

A hetero-stranded double helix with a controlled helix sense was designed and synthesized from an optically active dimeric amidine and its complementary achiral dicarboxylic acid strand with conjugated m-diethynylbenzene backbones, being stabilized by the salt bridges.

Novel carbasugars derived from cyclohexane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid were synthesized and tested for inhibitory activity towards fungal glycosidases from Aspergillus oryzae and Penicillium canescens. Significant inhibition was observed, which magnitude depended on configuration of substituents.

Fe(BF(4))(2)·6H(2)O with pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid and PhIO can efficiently catalyze the regioselective oxidation of terminal alkene derivatives to aldehydes under mild and benign reaction conditions.

Dicarboxylic organic acids have properties that differ from those of sulfuric acid during hydrolysis of lignocellulose. To investigate the effects of different acid catalysts on the hydrolysis and degradation of biomass compounds over a range of thermochemical pretreatments, maleic, oxalic and sulfuric acids were each used at the same combined severity factor (CSF) values during hydrolysis. Xyl...

Candida tropicalis ATCC 20336 excretes , -dicarboxylic acids as a by-product when cultured on n-alkanes or fatty acids as the carbon source. Previously, a -oxidation-blocked derivative of ATCC 20336 was constructed which showed a dramatic increase in the production of dicarboxylic acids. This paper describes the next steps in strain improvement, which were directed toward the isolation and char...

A series of heteroleptic bipyridine ruthenium complexes were prepared using known synthetic methods. Each compound incorporated one electron withdrawing 4,4'-dicarboxylic acid-2,2'-bipyridine and two bipyridines each of which had electron donating dialkylamine substituents in the 4 and 4' positions. The electronic absorption spectra exhibited absorptions that moved to lower energy as the donor ...

The exchange of the monocarboxylate ligand of the zirconium methacrylate oxocluster Zr(6)O(4)(OH)(4)(OMc)(12) (OMc = CH(2)=CH(CH(3))COO) with dicarboxylic acids (trans,trans muconic acid and terephthalic acid) leads to porous zirconium dicarboxylates exhibiting the UiO-66 architecture; the mild reaction conditions allow the control of their particle size.

Metastatic disease to bone is commonly seen in the advanced stages of many cancers. The cardinal symptom, pain, is often the cause of significant morbidity and reduced quality of life. Treatment of bone pain includes nonsteroidal analgesics and opiates; however, long-term use of these drugs is commonly associated with significant side effects, and tolerance is common. External-beam radiation th...
