The title compound, C(6)H(5)BrClN, is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.018 Å). In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular N-H⋯N and weak N-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, generating sheets.

A bromine-radical mediated three-component coupling reaction was effectively achieved by the use of allenes, electron-deficient alkenes, and allyl bromides and led to the synthesis of 2-bromo-1,7-dienes in good to high yields. This protocol was extended to the three-component process using alkylidenecyclopropane, which gave 2-bromo-1,8-diene along with alkylidenecyclopentane.

The highly enantioselective dienamine-mediated formation of 5-bromo-6-(trifluoromethyl)-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrans from α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and α-bromo-(trifluoromethyl)-enones employing a C2-symmetric aminocatalyst is described. The products are demonstrated to be applicable in coupling reactions directly onto the ring, thereby granting access to a broad scope of highly substituted 6-(trifluo...

Telokin phosphorylation by cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase facilitates smooth muscle relaxation. In this study we examined the relaxation of gastric fundus smooth muscles from basal tone, or pre-contracted with KCl or carbachol (CCh), and the phosphorylation of telokin S13, myosin light chain (MLC) S19, MYPT1 T853, T696, and CPI-17 T38 in response to 8-Bromo-cGMP, the NO donor sodium nitrop...

Direct communication between cells via gap junctions is thought to be an important component of homeostasis and coordinated cellular responses to external signals. We investigated how the second messenger cAMP exerts its effects on junctional communication in a mouse mammary tumor cell line, MMT22. Junctional permeance was quantitatively assessed using dye microinjection and video microscopy. A...

Abstract: Indolizyl-5-lithium anions react with succinic and phtalic anhidrides giving 1,4-keto acids, with oxallyl chloride giving 1,2-diketone, and with ethyl pyruvate giving 1,2-hydroxyacid. However, with α-halocarbonyl compounds, they react in different ways, forming the products of selective bromination at C-5 (with α-bromo ketones and esters of α-bromo acids) and 5-chloroacetyl indolizines.

In the title compound, C(16)H(13)BrO(2), the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the meth-oxy- and bromo-substituted benzene rings is 24.6 (1)°. The angles between the mean plane of the prop-2-en-1-one group and the 4-bromo-phenyl and 2-meth-oxy-phenyl ring planes are 18.8 (1) and 6.0 (1)°, respectively.

A small library of 8-substituted 9-deazaxanthines has been prepared by late-stage diversification of an 8-bromo-9-deazaxanthine. By utilizing palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions a single key precursor can be transformed into a variety of 8-substituted-9-deazaxanthine compounds. Three key 8-bromo-9-deazaxanthine intermediates were efficiently prepared from commercially available 6-chlor...
