Nickel (II) and copper (II) complexes of highly unsymmetrical tetradentate Schiff base have been synthesized by the template reaction of half-units N-(1-hydroxy-2-acetonaphtone)-1-amino-2-phenyleneimine (HL) and N-(2-hydroxyacetophenone)-1-amino-2-phenyleneimine (HL1) with the glyoxalphenylhydrazone. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, conductance, IR, 1H NMR and UV spe...

Aromatic aldehydes are efficiently condensed with 2'-hydroxyacetophenone by polymer-supported basic ionic liquid as an excellent heterogeneous catalyst utilizing the Claisen–Schmidt reaction. Microwave irradiation has been employed, providing flavanone in good yield and short reaction time.

The predominant bacterial pathway for nitrobenzene (NB) degradation uses an NB nitroreductase and hydroxylaminobenzene (HAB) mutase to form the ring-fission substrate ortho-aminophenol. We tested the hypothesis that constructed strains might accumulate the aminophenols from nitroacetophenones and other nitroaromatic compounds. We constructed a recombinant plasmid carrying NB nitroreductase (nbz...

While characterizing the kinetic parameters of apoplastic phenolic oxidation by peroxidase, we found anomalies caused by the Mes [2-(4-morpholino)ethanesulfonic acid] buffer being used. In the presence of Mes, certain phenolics appeared not to be oxidized by peroxidase, yet the oxidant, H(2)O(2), was utilized. This anomaly seems to be due to the recycling of the phenolic substrate. The reaction...

Protonation of the highly reactive 1:l intermediate produced in the reaction between triphenylphosphine and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate by 2- hydroxyacetophenone leads to vinyltriphenylphosphonium salt, which undergoes aromatic electrophilic substitution reaction with the conjugate base to produce compounds 4,5, and 6 in 1 : 1.2:0.5 ratios

Flavone compounds present as secondary metabolites in many plants have beneficial phytochemical activity. Isolation of flavones from various parts has been widely carried out, but the synthesis pathway is another way to obtain higher yields. This research aimed synthesize flavone vanillin and 2-hydroxyacetophenone through chalcone intermediates produce a 74% yield using an iodide catalyst. new ...

An arylketone monooxygenase was purified from Pseudomonas putida JD1 by ion exchange and affinity chromatography. It had the characteristics of a Baeyer-Villiger-type monooxygenase and converted its substrate, 4-hydroxyacetophenone, into 4-hydroxyphenyl acetate with the consumption of one molecule of oxygen and oxidation of one molecule of NADPH per molecule of substrate. The enzyme was a monom...

Two types of general and practical enantioselective catalysts, namely, bimetallic complexes and Lewis acid-Lewis base bifunctional catalysts were developed based on the concept of multifunctional catalysis. In the first part of this review, the first example of a catalytic enatioselective nitro-Mannich reaction as well as a direct catalytic enantioselective aldol reaction of 2-hydroxyacetopheno...
