Infrared spectra of some deuterio analogues of carboxylic acids in heavy water have been investigated and their spectral behavior in carbonyl stretching frequency region have been interpreted in terms of their structural behavior in aqueous solutions. It has been shown that a linear relationship exists between carbonyl stretching frequency of solvated acids at infinite dilution and their...

4-(Alkylamino)carbonyl-1-(alkoxy)carbonyl-2-azetidinones (9-11) have been prepared in five steps from 4-(benzyloxy)carbonyl-1-(t-butyldimethyl)silyl-2-azetidinone (1). The beta-lactam reactivity of 9 has been established by 1H NMR experiment. Compound 11 was a good reversible inhibitor of PPE and HLE. Based on theoretical design, series of 2-azetidinones (12-17) and 4-(alkoxy)carbonyl-2-azetidi...

Several glycating carbonyl compounds have been studied by resorting to the latest Minnesota family of density functional with the objective of determinating their molecular properties. In particular, the chemical reactivity descriptors that arise from conceptual density functional theory and chemical reactivity theory have been calculated through a [Formula: see text]SCF protocol. The validity ...

A high density monolayer of diisocyanide on gold surface was utilized as a platform of supported Rh catalyst for selective 1,4-hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. The catalyst exhibited high turnover numbers in a range of 50 000 to 150 000 per Rh atom and showed steady catalyst performance over six recycle usages.
