a series of new hexahydroquinoline and 1,4-dihydropyrimidine derivatives were synthesized. condensation of 2-methyl- thiazole-4-carboxaldehyde (1) with 1,3-cyclohexanedione and alkyl 3- aminocrotonate afforded 4-(2-methyl-thiazol-4-yl)-hexahydroquinoline while condensation of aldehyde (1) with benzoyl acetone and thiourea gave 1,4-dihydropyrimidine derivatives. the stereochemistry of 1,4-dihydr...

Irradiation of &methyl spiro [2.5] oct-7-en-4-one through its singlet excited state resulted in the formation of 4-methyl spirO [2.5] oct-4-en -6-one. We have used the cyclopropyl moiety in the molecule as a probe to study the operating mechanism in the photochemistry of ?, ?-unsaturated compounds. The results showed that this photoisomerization probably occurs through a concerted process.

The low temperature photochemical decomposition of 3- chloro-croton aldehyde tosylhydrazone sodium salt in tetrahydrofuran results in the formation of 3- chloro- 3- methyl cyclopropene and 5- chloro- 5- methyl- pyrazolenine respectively. In the presence of moisture, the photohydrated compound 3 was obtained as one of the products

A systematic study on the electrochemical behavior of the S-derivatives of 2-amino cyclopentene-1-dithiocarboxylic acid (ACDA) has been carried out in aqueous ethanolic solutions by means of polarography, coulometry and voltammetry. All the compounds studied exhibited a well defined anodic wave corresponding to a diffusion controlled process. Controlled potential coulometry gave n=1 per mol...

The reaction of readily available 1 -methyl-4-nitropyrrole-2- carboxylic acid (1) with thionyl chloride afforded the corresponding acyl chloride 2. The reaction of compound 2 with thiosemicarbazides yielded 1-(1 -methyl-4-nitrop yrrole-2-carbony1)- thiosemicarbazides (3) which cyclized in basic medium to 5-(1-methyl-4-nitropyrrole- 2-y1)-2,4-dihydro-3H- l,2,4-triazole-3- thione 4. Alkylatio...

6-Methyl- 1,2,4-triazine-3-(2H)-selenone-5(4H)-one(l) reacts in the presence of base with phenacyl bromide to give a mixture of compounds (2) and (3). This mixture is dehydrated in the presence of H,SO, to give 3-phenyl-6 methyl-7H-selenazolo[3,2-b] [I ,2,4] triazin-7-one (6). For careful structure assignment of (6) its regioisomer 3-methyl-6-phenyl-4H-selenazolo [2,3-c] [ 1,2,4] triazin-4-one...

Methyl-coenzyme M reductase (MCR) catalyzes both the synthesis and anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM). Its catalytic site contains Ni at core cofactor F430. The ion, in its low-valent Ni(I) state, lights fuse leading to homolysis C–S bond methyl-coenzyme (methyl-SCoM) generate a methyl radical, which abstracts hydrogen atom from coenzyme B (HSCoB) mixed disulfide CoMSSCoB. Direct reversal thi...

conformational properties of n-aryl-1-azacyclooctan-5- ones with a p-methyl, m-methyl, and p-methoxy group as a substituent have been studied by 1h-nmr, 13c-nmr and ir spectroscopies. transannular interaction of the two functional groups have been examined from the ring inversion barriers and the carbonyl vibrational frequencies with reference to the corresponding data of the respective monofun...
