Mutagenic activity of nine nitro derivatives of benzanthrone, namely 1-nitro-, 2-nitro-, 3-nitro-, 9-nitro-, 11-nitro-, 1,9-dinitro-, 3,9-dinitro-, 3,11-dinitro- and 3,9,11-trinitrobenzanthrone were tested with Salmonella strains TA98, TA100, YG1021 and YG1024 in both the presence and absence of an S9 mix. Each compound exhibited mutagenic activity with all the strains. Among these nine isomers...

The new 2,9-dimethyl-4H-oxazolo[5’,4’:4,5]pyrano[3,2-f]quinolin-4-one was successfully prepared through the three-component iodine-catalyzed reaction of n-butyl vinyl ether with 8-amino-2-methyl-4H-chromeno[3,4-d]oxazol-4-one. latter by reduction 2-methyl-8-nitro-4H-chromeno[3,4-d]oxazol-4-one Pd/C in a hydrogen atmosphere. above nitro compound synthesized condensation N-(4-hydroxy-6-nitro-2-ox...

The well-established mechanism of regeneration of the parent nitro compound by the reaction of the nitro anion radical with oxygen in aerobic systems is the basis of the correlation of kinetic parameters of purified flavoenzymes with electron affinities of some selected nitroaryl and nitroheterocyclic compounds. We have found that there is a linear relationship between log Vmax/Km and the one-e...

Polyethylene glycol was easily grafted to silica gel and used as a solid–liquid phase transfer catalyst in the reduction of aromatic nitro compounds. This silica-grafted polyethylene glycol is proved to be an efficient heterogeneous catalyst in the reduction of nitroarenes to the corresponding aromatic amines with zinc powder in water. The reduction reactions proceeded efficiently with exce...
