A series of amino acid ester derivatives containing 5-fluorouracil were synthesized using 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC*HCl) and N-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBt) as a coupling agent. The structures of the products were assigned by NMR, MS, IR etc. The in vitro antitumor activity tests against leukaemia HL-60 and liver cancer BEL-7402 indicated that (R)-ethyl 2-(2...

The 8000 X g pellet of rabbit placenta transformed arachidonic acid into a number of lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase products of known structure. A metabolite was also produced which was inhibited by indomethacin and required calcium for its formation. This compound had a UV absorption maximum at 227 nm under acidic or neutral conditions and gave a bathochromic shift to 281 nm under alkaline co...

A series of chiral bowl-shaped diruthenium(II,III) tetracarboxylate catalysts were prepared and evaluated in asymmetric cyclopropanations with donor/acceptor carbenes derived from aryldiazoacetates. The diruthenium self-assembled to generate C4-symmetric structures an analogous manner their dirhodium counterparts. optimum catalyst was found be Ru2(S-TPPTTL)4·BArF [S-TPPTTL = (S)-2-(1,3-dioxo-4,...

In the title mol-ecule, C(13)H(13)N(3)O(4)S, the heterocyclic thia-zine ring adopts a half-chair conformation in which the S and an adjacent C atom are displaced by 0.919 (3) and 0.300 (4) Å, respectively, on the same side of the mean plane formed by the remaining ring atoms. The mean planes of the benzene and pyrazole rings are inclined at a dihedral angle of 18.32 (12)° with respect to each o...

A (perarylcyclopentadienyl)molybdenum(VI) dioxo complex is shown to catalyse epoxidation of cyclooctene by t-butylhydroperoxide, but decomposition to a much more active non-cyclopentadienyl containing catalyst occurs as the reaction proceeds.

Pyrrolidines type 2,4-disubstituted (alkyl, aryl or heteroaryl)-6,8-dioxo-3,7-diazabicyclo [3.3.0] octanes (8a-d) were successfully synthesized by an efficient one pot 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides (in situ generated from the reaction of aromatic aldehydes and methyl ester of α-amino acids) with dipolarophile (N-phenylmaleimide). The reaction of compounds 8a-d with hydrazine in...

A trinucleating framework was assembled by templation of a heptadentate ligand around yttrium and lanthanides. The generated complexes orient three sets of two or three N-donors each for binding additional metal centers. Addition of three equivalents of copper(I) leads to the formation of tricopper(I) species. Reactions with dioxygen at low temperatures generate species whose spectroscopic feat...
