A number of N-phenyl-1,4-naphthoquinone monoimines 6-10 were prepared by on-water oxidative phenylamination of 1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene (1) and 5-acetylamino-1-hydroxynaphthalene (5) with oxygen-substituted phenylamines under aerobic conditions and either solar or green LED radiation, in the presence of rose bengal as singlet oxygen sensitizer. As compared to the conventional oxidative phenylam...

2-Chloro-, 2-bromo- and 2-azido-1,4,6-androstatriene-3,17-diones were synthesized from 1alpha,2alpha-epoxy-4,6-androstadiene-3,17-dione (2) using HCl, HBr and NaN(3), respectively. Compound 2 was also reacted with NaCN to give 2-cyano-1,4,6-androstatriene-3,17-dione (5) and 2beta-cyano-1alpha-hydroxy-4,6-androstadiene-3,17-dione (6). 6Alpha,7alpha-epoxy-1,4-androstadiene-3,17-dione (8) was reac...

THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: 2-(1H-1,2,3-benzotriazol-1-ylmeth-yl)isoindole-1,3-dione], C(15)H(10)N(4)O(2), was prepared by the reaction of 1H-benzotriazole and 2-bromo-methyl-isoindole-1,3-dione. The benzotriazole and isoindole units are almost planar and make a dihedral angle of 70.2 (1)° (mean planes include C and N atoms). A weak C-H⋯O intra-molecular hydrogen bond involving a carbo...

A series of twenty new N-[(4-arylpiperazin-1-yl)-propyl]-2-aza-spiro[4.4]nonane- and [4.5]decane-1,3-dione derivatives were synthesized and their anticonvulsant activity was evaluated in maximal electroshock (MES) and sc pentertazole (sc PTZ) tests. Their neurotoxicity was examined as well. Although no antiseizure properties of the investigated compounds were found in the MES model, eight of th...

(1)H-NMR and (13)C-NMR assignments of 12-oleanene-3,11-dione (compound 1) were completely described for the first time through conventional 1D NMR and 2D shift-correlated NMR experiments using (1)H-(1)HCOSY, HMQC, HMBC techniques. Based on its NMR data, the assignments of 28-hydroxyolean-12-ene-3,11-dione (compound 2) were partially revised.
