The enzymatically catalyzed synthesis of a copolymer of 4-tert-butylphenol and 4-ferrocenylphenol by horse radish peroxidase (HRP) in the presence of H(2)O(2) in a 1,4-dioxane/water system is described. Furthermore, polymer-analogous alkylation of the free hydroxy groups and subsequent click reaction with mono-6-azido-6-desoxy-β-cyclodextrin (N(3)-β-CD) was carried out. The formation of inter- ...

A series of 2-(p-substituted benzylidene)-3-(5-ethyl-1, 3, 4-thiadiazol-2-yl) thiazolidin-4-ones were synthesized by the reaction of Schiff’s bases of N-(p-substituted benzylidene)-5-ethyl-1, 3, 4-thiadiazole-2-amines with thioglycolic acid in 1, 4-dioxane as solvent and studied for their in vitro antibacterial activity. Reaction of thiosemicarbazide with propanoic acid in presence of concentra...

An actinomycete strain (CB1190(T)) was previously isolated from industrial sludge contaminated with 1,4-dioxane. The cells of this culture are Gram-positive and exhibit branching aerial and vegetative mycelium. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicates that the strain belongs to the genus Pseudonocardia, closely related to Pseudonocardia hydrocarbonoxydans, P. sulfidoxydans and P. haloph...

This study was aimed at the synthesis of few xanthone derivatives containing 1,4-dioxane ring system. The reaction of 3,4-dihydroxy xanthone derivatives (3a-c) with ethylene dibromide and epichlorohydrin under approriate reaction conditions afforded xanthone derivatives containing 1,4-dioxane ring system (4a-e). The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed on the basis of their ch...

The stereospecific intramolecular alkylation of a hydroperoxyacetal provides the basis for the first asymmetric synthesis of the dioxane propionate core of the peroxyplakorates. Chemoselective hydrometallation of an alkyne in the presence of a peroxide is used to introduce a synthon for the polyunsaturated side chains of the peroxyplakorates. The route suggests a general solution for the 1,2-di...

A spectrophotometric method of assay of mefenamic acid in tablets involving, dissolving the tablet powder in 1,4-dioxane and measuring the absorbance at 353.2 nm. The concentration of mefenamic acid is determined using the previously prepared calibration curve using standard solution of mefenamic acid in dioxane. The method was tested by assay of six different commercial tablets containing mefe...

A crystal-to-crystal transformation was observed from a green chain compound CuBr2(1,4-dioxane)2(H2O)2 (1) to a brown layered compound (CuBr2)3(1,4-dioxane)2 (2). The hydrogen bond connecting chains in were replaced by a μ-Br bridge in and the antiferromagnetic interaction between the metal atoms in became stronger than in 1.

1,4-Dioxane is a contaminant of emerging concern that classified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as likely human carcinogen. Moreover, 1,4-dioxane easily migrates to groundwater due its high solubility in water and hard be biodegraded or removed traditional treatment technology. Therefore, it indispensable develop new methods technologies dispose wastewater. Herein, this study prese...
