Urea receptor 1 based on two (1-amino-8-amido-3,6-dichloro)carbazole units shows a strong association with dicarboxylate anions such as oxalate, malonate and succinate guests through multiple hydrogen bonds from the carbazole, urea and amide NH groups. (1)H NMR complexation studies exhibit high values of association constants in DMSO-d(6). X-ray structures of the 1 : 1 complexes of 1 with oxala...

The kinetics of sulphate uptake catalysed by the dicarboxylate carrier were measured. The Km value for sulphate is about 0.3 mM. A completely competitive relation exists between the influxes of sulphate and malonate, whereas the relation between sulphate and phosphate is of the mixed type. The inhibition of sulphate influx by mersalyl and bathophenanthroline is similar to that of malonate influ...

In the racemic title compound, C24H25NO9, the dihedral angle between the planes of the two benzene-ring systems is 80.16 (6)°, while the side-chain conformation is stabilized by a methyl-ene-carboxyl C-H⋯O hydrogen bond. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds form inversion dimers [graph set R 2 (2)(16)] which are linked into chains extending along a. Further C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding extends t...

This study aimed to synthesize quinolinone derivatives and investigate their cytotoxic activity. The compound 1-azacoumarin-3-carboxylic acid (2-oxo-1H-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid) was obtained via the cyclocondensation of 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde with diethyl malonate in base catalyst give ethyl coumarin-3-carboxylate, followed by ammonolysis ester (ethyl coumarin-3-carboxylate) ammonia presence ...

Citrate, isocitrate, and malonate stimulate acetate incorporation into fatty acids in cell-free preparations of mammary gland, liver, and heart (1-14). Fatty acid synthesis in the mammal requires reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate as reducing agent, but citrate and isocitrate do not exert their effect simply through the generation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide ph...

A purified and electrophoretically homogeneous blue laccase from the litter-decaying basidiomycete Stropharia rugosoannulata with a molecular mass of approximately 66 kDa oxidized Mn to Mn , as assessed in the presence of the Mn chelators oxalate, malonate, and pyrophosphate. At rate-saturating concentrations (100 mM) of these chelators and at pH 5.0, Mn complexes were produced at 0.15, 0.05, a...

A novel strategy of initiating an organocatalysed dynamic kinetic resolution (dr up to 99 : 1 and er up to 94 : 6) for the synthesis of chiral trans-2,5-dialkylcyclohexanones by an asymmetric conjugate addition of dimethyl malonate on to 6-substituted cyclohexenones is reported.
