The title compound, C(11)H(11)NO, was synthesized by the reaction of 2-(bromo-meth-yl)benzonitrile and acetyl-acetone in the presence of KOH. In the crystal packing, mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains running parallel to the b axis. Centrosymmetrically-related chains inter-act further through weak C-H⋯π inter-actions.

The lichen substance, 16-O-acetyl-leucotylic acid (1), was isolated from an acetone extract of Myelochroa aurulenta and found to exhibit antiproliferative activity against HL-60 human leukemia cells. This is the first report on its anti-leukemia activity (EC(50)=21 microM) which is greater than that of leucotylic acid (2) and the structurally related anti-tumor agent, betulinic acid (4).

Acetone extract of aerial parts of Euphorbia marschalliana collected from Iran has been subjected to different chromatography techniques for fractionation and purification. The stereo-structures of the myrsinol esters 15-O-acetyl-3-O-propionyl-5-O-butanoyl-7-O-nicotinoylmyrsinol (1) and 15-O-acetyl-3,5-O-dibutanoyl-7-O-nicotinoylmyrsinol (2) have been probed using ROESY spectroscopy and modifie...

An acetone extract obtained from aerial parts of S. stricta Boiss. & Heldr. apud Bentham, its fractions and phenolic compounds were investigated for their in vivo anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities. For the anti-inflammatory activity and for the antinociceptive activity assessment, carrageenan-induced hind paw edema and p-benzoquinone-induced abdominal constriction tests were used...

The V(IV) atom in the title complex, [V(C(11)H(13)BrClN(2)O)(C(5)H(7)O(2))O], is six-coordinated by one phenolate O, one imino N and one amino N atom of the tridentate anionic Schiff base ligand, by one oxide O atom, and by two O atoms of an acetyl-acetonate anion, forming a distorted cis-VN(2)O(4) octa-hedral coordination geometry. The deviation of the V atom from the plane defined by the thre...

The density (ρ), viscosity (η), surface tension (σ), and refractive index (R) of binary mixtures acetylacetone (acac) with ethyl acetate (Etac) were determined at atmospheric pressure over the entire composition range mixtures. values pure liquids have been used to calculate excess volume (VE), deviation in (Δη), tension. computed results fitted Redlich–Kister polynomial equation. molar (VE) fo...

The redetermination of the title compound, [Sn(CH3)2(C5H7O2)2] or SnMe2(acac)2, from CCD data recorded at 100 K basically confirms the previous study based on integrated film data recorded at room temperature [Miller & Schlemper (1972 ▸). Inorg. Chem.12, 677-681], but reveals a remarkable shrinkage of the a axis [7.12 (1) > 6.7694 (4) Å]. The mol-ecule belongs to point group Ci with the SnIV at...

The title complex, [Er(C(32)H(16)N(8))(C(5)H(7)O(2))(C(12)H(8)N(2))], possesses a mirror plane and the asymmetric unit is half of the mol-ecule. The Er(III) cation, lying on the mirror plane, is eight-coordinated by two O atoms from acetyl-acetone, two N (N(phen)) atoms from 1,10-phenanthroline and four isoindole N (N(iso)) atoms from the phthalocyanine ligand in an anti-prismatic geometry. The...

Two mechanisms have been proposed for the formation of acetoacetate from acetyl-CoA by liver preparations. With the use of a partially purified system prepared from acetone powders of beef liver, Lynen et al. (1) obtained evidence that acetoacetate formation proceeded via P-hydroxy-fi-methylglutaryl coensyme A as intermediate and involved the HlMG-COAT condensing and HMG-Coh cleavage enzymes as...

This paper describes the biocatalytic synthesis of new Mannich bases containing various heterocyclic rings (thiazole, furane, thiophene, pyridine) by applying the lipase catalyzed trimolecular condensation of the corresponding heterocyclic aldehydes with acetone and primary aromatic amines, in mild and eco-friendly reaction conditions. The obtained Mannich bases were acylated to their correspon...
