The title compound, C(17)H(16)O(3)S, was prepared by the oxidation of 5-ethyl-2-methyl-3-phenyl-sulfanyl-1-benzofuran with 3-chloro-peroxy-benzoic acid. The phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 75.94 (8)° with the plane of the benzofuran fragment. The crystal structure is stabilized by π-π inter-actions between the furan rings of neighbouring mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.620 (4) ...

A dairy farmer, aged 42, was referred for admission to hospital by the consultant physician on June 19, 1957. He complained of deterioration of vision in the past 6 weeks and said that for the past 2 weeks he had been unable to read the paper. His visual acuity on admission was 4/60 in the right eye and 1/60 in the left. He stated that he drank about 8 pints of beer a day, but his wife said tha...

The seven-membered ring in the title compound, C(20)H(19)N(3)O(3), adopts a boat conformation with the two phenyl-ene C atoms representing the stern and the methyl-ene C atom the prow. The dihedral angle between the best plane through the seven-membered ring (r.m.s deviation = 0.358 Å) and the phenyl substituent is 55.8 (1)°. The two rings at either ends of the ethyl chain are staggered [N-CH(2...

In the title compound, C(18)H(18)O(5), the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 55.2 (3)°. The ethyl acrylate linkage is planar and forms dihedral angles of 21.3 (3) and 41.0 (3)°, respectively, with the hydroxy-phenyl and methoxy-phenyl rings. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked into zigzag chains along the b axis by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The title compound, [Fe(C(5)H(5))(C(8)H(9)S)(CO)(2)], is a three-legged piano-stool iron(II) complex that is characterized by a thio-ethyl-linked phenyl ring and a cyclo-penta-dienyl moiety that occupies the apical coordination site. The two aromatic rings are essentially planar with the same maximum deviation of 0.009 Å. The mean planes of the phenyl and cyclo-penta-dienyl rings bis-ect at an ...

A study was made on the possibility of synergistic effects of ethyl alcohol and lead on porphyrin metabolism in rabbits. Experimental rabbits were divided into 4 groups. Group A was the control group not given any treatment, and the other 3 groups (Groups B, C and D) were treated with ethyl alcohol, lead, and ethyl alcohol and lead respectively, for 2 months. Ethyl alcohol solution (5%) was adm...

We have reported that the reaction of ethyl bromodifluoroacetate (1) with alkenyl iodides in the presence of copper powder gives ethyl alkenyldifluoroacetates. As an extension of this reaction, reaction of 1 with Michael acceptors in the presence of copper powder was examined and found to give 1,4-addition products selectively, unless the acceptor has a group stabilizing a radical intermediate,...

In the title compound, [Cd(C(9)H(10)NS(2))(2)(C(5)H(9)NO)], the Cd(II) atom is five-coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry by four S atoms from two chelating N-ethyl-N-phenyl dithio-carbamate ligands and one N atom from a 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline ligand. Inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions are observed in the crystal structure.

The alcohol breath test (ABT) has been used for quantification of ethyl alcohol in individuals suspected of driving under the influence for more than 50 years. In this time, there has been little change in the concepts underlying this single breath test. The old model, which assumes that end-exhaled breath alcohol concentration is closely related to alveolar air alcohol concentration, is no lon...
