The title complex, {[Mn(C(14)H(6)O(8)S(2))(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)]·4H(2)O}(n), exhibits a chain-like polymeric structure with 9,10-dioxo-anthracene-1,5-disulfonate anions bridging Mn(II) atoms in a bis-monodentate mode. The unique Mn(II) atom is located on a crystallographic centre of inversion. Four N atoms from two chelating 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and two sulfonate O atoms from two symmetry-r...

Two simple protocols for the synthesis of tetrahydrobenzo[a]xanthenes-11-ones using nano silica phosphoric acid are reported. Short reaction times, high yields, reusability of catalyst and easy workup are some advantages of these protocols.

A domino reaction has been developed for the synthesis of oxygen bridged bicyclic ethers through the coupling of 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)cyclohex-3-enols with aldehydes in the presence of 10 mol% of molecular iodine in dichloromethane at 25 °C. This method is highly diastereoselective affording the corresponding bicyclic ethers, i.e. octahydro-4a,7-epoxyisochromenes in good yields with high selectivi...

In continuing the search for new analgesics among derivatives of 2,1-benzothiazines, a series of corresponding toluidides and xylidides of 4-hydroxy-2,2-dioxo-1H-2λ⁶,1-benzothiazine-3-carboxylic acid has been synthesized by the reaction of ethyl 4-hydroxy-2,2-dioxo-1H-2λ⁶,1-benzothiazine-3-carboxylate with equimolar amounts of mono- and dimethyl-substituted anilides in boiling dry xylene. Their...

Hydantoin derivatives, including phenytoin (5,5-diphenylhydantoin), have recently gained attention as they possess a variety of important biochemical and pharmacological properties. Nevertheless, available information on anticancer activity of hydantoin derivatives is still scarce. Here, we evaluated possible antileukemic potential of four phenytoin analogs, namely: methyl 2-(2,4-dioxo-5,5-diph...

(E)-2-(1-Cyano-2-methoxy-2-oxoethylidene)-3,4-dioxo-1-(pyridin-1-ium-1-yl)cyclobutan-1-ide was obtained by a three-component reaction of squaric acid dichloride with pyridine and methyl cyanoacetate.

The title compound, C(22)H(18)O(7), also known as laurentiquinone B, is a new anthraquinone which was isolated from Vismia laurentii, a Cameroonian medicinal plant. The asymmetric unit contains two independent mol-ecules. Each of them contains four fused rings, three of which are coplanar and typical of anthracene, while the heterocyclic rings adopt envelope conformations. Intra-molecular O-H⋯O...

In the title compound, C(22)H(24)FN(3)O(4)S, the cyclo-hexane ring adopts a chair conformation and the five-membered ring is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.040 (2) Å. The dihedral angles between the five-membered ring and the tolyl and fluoro-benzene rings are 56.74 (12) and 89.88 (12)°, respectively. The two terminal benzene rings make a dihedral angle of 63.53 (12)°. The cr...
