some new 3-[(5-benzylidene-2-phenyl)-3, 5-dihydro-4-h-imidazol-4-one-3-(4-bezoylhydrazono)]-indole-2-ones (viii) have been synthesized from different isatinhydrazones (ii) by condensing with 2-phenyl-5-benzylidene- 3-n (4-acetyl phenyl)-1, 5-dihydro-imidazol-4-one (vii). their chemical structures have been confirmed by ir, 1hnmr, mass and by elemental analysis. investigation of antimicrobial ac...

Segmented polyurethanes containing azo aromatic groups in the main chain were synthesized by reaction of 3,3'-azobis(6-hydroxybenzoic acid) (ABHB), 5-[4-(hydroxyphenyl)azo] salicylic acid (HPAS), and 5-[1-hydroxynaphthyl)azo] salicylic acid (HNAS) with hexamethylenediisocyanate (HDI). All synthesized monomers and polymers were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, 1H-NMR spectra, TGA and D...

Diazonium chlorides of 5-amino-3-methypyrazole 1a and 5-amino-4-phenylpyrazole 1b coupled with 1,3-indanedione 2 and led to the formation of acyclic hydrazone 3a and a cyclic product indenopyrazolotriazine 4b respectively. Cyclization of the hydrazone 3a by boiling in acetic acid afforded the corresponding 4a. The hydrazone 3a reacted with malononitrile in boiling ethanol in the presence of pip...

Azobenzene, with two phenyl rings separated by an azo (–N=N–) bond, serves as the parent molecule for a broad class of aromatic azo compounds. These chromophores are versatile molecules, and have received much attention in research areas both fundamental and applied. The strong electronic absorption maximum can be tailored by ring substitution to fall anywhere from the ultraviolet (UV) to visib...

F13459 is a new inhibitor of synthesis and trafficking of virus glycoprotein isolated from the culture broth of a Penicillium sp. The molecular formula of F13459 was determined to be C27H28O11 by HRFAB-MS and NMR spectral analyses. The structure of F13459 was elucidated to be 3,4-dihydro-3,4,6,8-tetrahydroxy-3-methyl-1H-2-benzopyran-1-one 4-O-mycophenolate, an ester derivative of mycophenolic a...

The tautomerism of curcumin has been investigated in ethanol/water binary mixtures by using UV-Vis spectroscopy and advanced quantum-chemical calculations. The spectral changes were processed by using advanced chemometric procedure, based on resolution of overlapping bands technique. As a result, molar fractions of the tautomers and their individual spectra have been estimated. It has been show...

Ultrathin (submicrometer) organic films of specified index of refraction are constructed by the sequential deposition of self-assembled zirconium phosphonate (ZP) molecular monolayers that contain two Merent bisphosphonate ions, 1,lO-decanediylbis(phosphonate) (DBP) and 4,4azobis[(p-phenylene)methylenelbis(phosphonate) (AZO). By varying the ratio of DBP to AZO monolayers in the ZP multilayer fi...
