Aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase of mouse skin is inducible by benz(a)anthracene or 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) and is inhibited by 7,8-benzoflavone. 7,8-Benzo flavone inhibits the formation of covalently bound complexes of DMBA with DNA, RNA, and protein and also inhibits tumor formation caused either by a single application of DMBA, followed by croton oil treatment, or by the repeated a...

In the title compound, C(11)H(12)ClNO, intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding is present. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the pentenone unit is 46.52 (5)°. In the crystal, C-H⋯O inter-actions between hydrogen atoms of the aryl moiety and two separate oxygen atoms occur, leading to a three-dimensional network.

Human serum aryl acylamidase associated with serum cholinesterase was purified to homogeneity. Evidence for the identity of the two enzymes was based on co-elution profiles, co-purification in the different steps including affinity chromatography with constant ratios of specific activity and percentage recoveries, co-migration on gel electrophoresis, parallel inhibition by typical cholinesteras...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(13)H(8)BrNO(4), mol-ecules are linked into chains along [101] by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and Br⋯O contacts [3.140 (4) Å]. The planes of the nitrated and brominated aryl rings form a dihedral angle of 64.98 (10)°, indicating a twist in the mol-ecule.

A small series of 5-(hetero)aryl-modified nucleoside phosphonates was synthesized via an 8-step procedure including a Wittig reaction and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling. An unanticipated anomerization during phosphonate deprotection allowed us to isolate both anomers of the 5-substituted 2'-deoxy-uridine phosphonates and assess their antiviral activity against a broad panel of viruses.

The triplet aryl cation photochemically generated from fluoroquinolones bearing a fluoro atom at position 8 attacks guanosine monophosphate (k(r) > 10(9) M(-1)s(-1)) and forms covalent adducts. The reaction is a model for the implementation of oxygen-independent photochemotherapy.

In the cation of the title compound, C(5)H(8)N(3) (+)·Cl(-), the C-N(H(2)) bond distance [1.348 (3) Å] is at the lower end of the range for aryl amines. In the crystal structure, cations and anions are linked via N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming one-dimensional chains along [100].

An enantioselective Brønsted acid catalyzed Mannich reaction between acetophenone derived enamines and N-Boc imines has been developed. Simple diol (S)-H(8)-BINOL has been identified as the optimal catalyst, to afford versatile beta-amino aryl ketones in good yield and enantiomeric excess.

The synthesis of β-arylated alkylamides via alkyl C-H bond arylation has been realized by means of direct one-pot reactions of acyl chlorides, aryl iodides and 8-aminoquinoline. Depending on the structure of the starting materials, both single and double β-arylated alkylamides could be accessed.
