Reaction of ortho-carborane with anhydrous AlCl3 in chloroform results a mixture 9-chloro, 9,12-dichloro, and 8,9,12-trichloro derivatives 9,12-dichloro-ortho-carborane being the main product. Molecular crystal structure was determined by single X-ray diffraction. The 9,12-Cl2-1,2-C2B10H10 appeared to be nearly isostructural 9,12-dibromo-ortho-carborane: packing is built layers which molecules ...

The hormetic effect is a toxicological phenomenon in the soil ecosystem. influence of low-molecular-weight organic acids (LMWOAs) on release and activation phosphorus (P) has become focus research. To what extent LMWOAs can regulate P then nutrients worth attention. This study aimed to investigate effects different types concentrations exogenous extraction, establish relationship between concen...

Pseudomonas lini strain ZBG1 was isolated from the soil of vineyard in Zellenberg, France and the draft genome was reported in this study. Bioinformatics analyses of the genome revealed presence of genes encoding tartaric and malic acid utilization as well as copper resistance that correspond to the adaptation this strain in vineyard soil environment.

A highly fluorescent organogel with transparency was formed through a hydrogen (H)-bonding interaction between a non-fluorescent and achiral 2-(3',5'-bis-trifluoromethyl-biphenyl-4-yl)-3-(4-pyridin-4-yl-phenyl)-acrylonitrile (CN-TFMBPPE) monomer and chiral sergeant l-tartaric acid (TA) (or d-TA), with gel formation being accompanied by a drastic fluorescence enhancement as well as chirality ind...

A practical stereoselective synthesis of cytotoxic anhydrophytosphingosine pachastrissamine (jaspine B) was achieved in 48% overall yield from D-(-)-tartaric acid. Key features of the sequence include the diastereoselective formation of a tetrol with three contiguous chiral centers, which was further elaborated to pachastrissamine. The synthetic route is operationally simple, diastereoselective...

Starting with L-tartaric acid the chiral 3,4-disubstituted pyrrolidine analogue sulfonamide derivatives were prepared. These compounds were examined for anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activity. Further the docking studies were carried out for the model compounds from each series against β-glucosidase and the results found are moderate. The structure–activity relationships are also briefly discu...
