A reagent-controlled, diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of anti- and syn-β-hydroxy-α-phenyl carboxylates has been achieved by the proper choice of solvent, temperature, alkoxy group, and amine for the diisopinocampheylboron-mediated asymmetric enolization-aldolization of phenylacetates. The pure diastereomers can be readily separated by column chromatography.

MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, "ecstasy") administration to mice produces relatively selective long-term neurotoxic damage to dopaminergic pathways. There is strong evidence indicating that the dopamine system plays a key role in the rewarding effects of ethanol and modulates ethanol intake. Using a two-bottle free-choice paradigm, we examined the voluntary consumption and preference ...

The title compound, C(13)H(11)N(3)O(2)S, was prepared by reaction of 2-nitro-benzenamine, KOH and 1-isothio-cyanato-benzene in an ethanol solution at room temperature. The dihedral angles formed between the thiourea plane and the phenyl rings are 61.9 and 31.0°. The dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is 78.1°. In the crystal structure, there are weak inter-molecular N-H⋯S and C-H⋯S hyd...

The title compound, C(20)H(15)N(2) (+)·Cl(-), was prepared by the reaction of benzil with o-phenyl-enediamine in refluxing ethanol and then crystallized in 5% hydro-chloric acid. The two phenyl rings are oriented at dihedral angles of 50.93 (8) and 50.28 (8)° with respect to the quinoxalin-1-ium ring system. The dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is 56.71 (10)°. In the crystal, the cat...

1. Inactivation of beta-phenylethylamine and several of its derivatives was studied in a preparation of rabbit lung perfused with Krebs physiological medium at 37 degrees C. Inactivation or removal of these compounds was calculated as the difference between the concentration of each amine in the perfusion medium and the effluent, collected separately from each lung. The extent of amine metaboli...

3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl) phenyl ammonium triflate(BFPAT) catalyzed one-pot synthesis of indeno[1,2-b]pyridine compound derivatives by four-component condensation aldehyde, aromatic ketones, 1,3-indanedione, and acetate in ethanol. Accessible starting materials, Simplicity operation, green practical catalyst, easy purification, excellent yields are the key benefits current technique.

Davis and his co-workers (1944) experimented with phenyl cellosolve (monophenyl ether of ethylene glycol) using a mixture of phenyl cellosolve, ethanol and water in proportions of 1:2:2 with enough methyl salicylate to give it a slight pleasant odour. The material was used against head lice. The results, though not fully evaluated, were however thought to have been completely satisfactory. Hans...

The reaction of ferrocenyldiphenylphosphine with styrene oxide in ethanol gives, as the major product, ferrocenyl(phenyl)(l,2-diphenylethyl)phosphine oxide (5, R = Ph), the result of a rearrangement involving phenyl migration from phosphorus to adjacent carbon in the decomposition of a vinylphosphonium ion arising from protonation and subsequent elimination of water from the initially-formed ph...

Nanocrystalline Zinc Oxide (ZnO) powders with different morphology have been successfully synthesized by using different surfactants such as Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB), Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate (SDS), and Tri Ethanol Amine (TEA) via hydrothermal method. The products were characterized by means of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electr...

The title isoaltholactone derivative, C13H13NO3, has an NH group in place of the ether-O atom in the five-membered ring of the natural product. The five-membered ring is twisted about the N-C bond linking it to the six-membered ring, which has a half-chair conformation with the O atom connected to the ether-O atom lying above the plane defined by the remaining atoms. The dihedral angle between ...
