A change for the better: Exchange of Cd(II) in the catalytically inactive framework MMPF-5 (see scheme) with Co(II) afforded a metalloporphyrin-based nanoreactor, MMPF-5(Co). This framework, consisting of small cubicuboctahedral cages, demonstrated interesting performances in the catalytic epoxidation of trans-stilbene with tBuOOH.

In the title mol-ecule, C(25)H(19)NO(2), the furyl ring is twisted by 46.3 (1)° with respect to the phenyl-ene ring bearing the amido group. In the stilbene unit, the two phenyl-ene rings (i.e. the rings connected through the -CH=CH- fragment) are twisted by 59.2 (1)°; in the biphenyl-ene unit, the two benzene rings are twisted by 35.5 (1)°. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked by an...

Synthesis of four trinitrotoluene stilbene derivatives and assessment for SERRS activity is reported.

Propolis is a honeybee product with broad clinical applications. Current literature describes that propolis is collected from plant resins. From a systematic database search, 241 compounds were identified in propolis for the first time between 2000 and 2012; and they belong to such diverse chemical classes as flavonoids, phenylpropanoids, terpenenes, stilbenes, lignans, coumarins, and their pre...

We report the photocatalytic oxidation of benzylic carbon atoms under mild conditions using riboflavin tetraacetate as photocatalyst and blue-emitting LEDs (440 nm) as light source. Oxygen is the terminal oxidant and hydrogen peroxide appears as the only byproduct in most cases. The process oxidizes toluene derivatives, stilbenes, styrenes and phenylacetic acids to their corresponding benzaldeh...

We evaluated the chemical composition and antioxidant activity of 30 red wines from Austria (cv. Cabernet-Sauvignon, Blaufraenkisch Zweigelt) 20 Montenegro Cabernet-Sauvignon Vranac) three consecutive vintages: 2014, 2015 2016. determined spectrophotometrically contents total phenol (TP), anthocyanin (TA) low- high-molecular-weight proanthocyanidins (LMP HMP respectively). identified quantified...

Polyphenols constitute a large chemical class of phytochemicals among which the stilbenoid sub-class has attracted significant attention due to their elaborate structural diversity and biological activities. Resveratrol, a well-known stilbene, has been extensively studied due to its wide range of biological activities and occurrence in plant foods, including grape and some berries. Apart from t...
