Pseudomonas sp. strain T-12 cells in which the toluene-degradative pathway enzymes have been induced can transform many 3-fluoro-substituted benzenes to the corresponding 2,3-catechols with simultaneous elimination of the fluorine substituent as inorganic fluoride. Substrates for this transformation included 3-fluorotoluene, 3-fluorotrifluorotoluene, 3-fluorohalobenzenes, 3-fluoroanisole, and 3...

The title compound [systematic name: 4-(di-methyl-amino)-pyridine-4-meth-oxy-phenyl-borane (1/1)], C14H19BN2O, contains two independent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. Both molecules exhibit coplanar, mostly sp2-hybridized meth-oxy and di-methyl-amino substituents on their respective aromatic rings, consistent with π-donation into the aromatic systems. The B-H groups exhibit an intra-molecul...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(23)H(17)F(3)N(2)O(2), contains two mol-ecules. In one of the mol-ecules, the phenyl and triflouromethyl-substituted benzene rings form dihedral angles of 52.05 (8) and 33.70 (8)°, respectively, with the benzimidazole ring system, while the dihedral angle between them is 58.24 (10)°. The corresponding values in the other mol-ecule are 58.40 (8), 25.90...

The title compound, C(18)H(17)NO(4), was obtained accidentally through acid-catalysed aromatization of a phthalimide-substituted 2-(1-hy-droxy-eth-yl)cyclo-hex-2-enone. It exhibits an intra-molecular O-H⋯O(c) (c = carbonyl) hydrogen bond and forms a three-dimensional network structure via π-π stacking inter-actions between adjacent benzene rings (phthalimide-to-phenyl-ene and phthalimide-to-pht...
