The algal excretion product geranylacetone was proved to be an effective and novel inhibitor of carotene synthesis in Synechoccus 6911. The application of geranylacetone resulted in an ac­ cumulation of phytofluene, indicating an inhibition of the conversion of this compound into fcarotene. The cts-isomer of geranylacetone was as effective as the natural irans-isomer. The chloro­ phyll synthesi...

this research aims at studying challenges, difficulties and prospects of irans income distribution sector during 2005-2015 by means of an econometric model. the first part of the paper reviews some theories and empirical accomplishments regarding income distribution in national and international levels. the next part of the paper goes through the trends of income distribution and social welfare...

Studies on models synthesized by stereochemically controlled routes show that the central triene chromophore in the common cis isomer of phytoene has the irans,cis,trans configuration, and that the phytoene from Flavobacterium dehydrogenans consists mainly of the all-trans isomer. Capsorubin, with the natural configuration at all four chiral centres, has been synthesized from (+)-camphor. Sever...

Alkyldifluorophosphites, ROPF2 (R = ^-substituted benzyl group, neopentyl, 1-adamantyl) have been obtained by a new method, involving reaction of the appropriate alkyl trimethylsilylether, ROSiMe3 with chlorodifluorophosphine, PF2C1. Reactions of these difluorophosphites with platinum(II) complexes of the type [LaPtCla] (L = PEt3, PPI13) led to products such as irans-[L2PtCl(POF2)] and {[p-XC6H...
