The direct aldol-type condensation of aldehydes with ethyl diazoacetate catalyzed by the chiral complex of BINOL derivatives-Zr(O(t)Bu)(4) gave beta-hydroxy alpha-diazo carbonyl compounds with moderate enantioselectivities (53-87% ee). [reaction: see text]

In the title compound, C(11)H(10)N(2)O(2), a potential inhibitor of the cyclo-oxygenase-2 isoenzyme, the pyrazoline ring exists in a flat-envelope conformation while the puckering of the central oxazine ring is more severe. As a result, the mol-ecule as a whole is non-planar. The formal sp(3) pyrazoline N atom is sp(2) hybridized, with the lone-pair electrons delocalized through conjugation wit...

The reactions between fifteen carbonyl oxides and water have been investigated with the aim of contributing to a better understanding of the effects of the substituents in the reactivity of carbonyl oxides. We have employed density functional theory and large scale ab initio methods (CCSD(T), CASSCF, and CASPT2), combined with transition state theory, to investigate the addition of water to car...

The reduction using phenylsilane in a KOH-catalyzed system was applied successfully to the conversion of sulfinyl-substituted cyclopropylcarboxylates into the corresponding alcohols. The presence of sulfinyl substituents in the α-position to the carboxylate group caused a desulfinylation product formation with full regio- and stereoselectivity, instead of a carbonyl group reduction. Investigati...

Tricarbonyl hydride derivatives of cyclopentadienyl-chromium, -molybdenum and -tungsten compounds covalently linked to a macroreticular polystyrene support are obtained by treatment of polystyrene-attached cyclopentadienyl anions with the respective metal hexacarbonyl and subsequent acidification. In contrast to the ease with which unsupported cyclopentaruenyl·chromium and -molybdenum tricarbon...

cirrhosis is the consequence of chronic liver disease. deleterious effects of oxidative stress on hepatocytes may be reflected in the erythrocyte membrane. naltrexone (ntx) has been shown to attenuate hepatocellular injury in fibrotic animal models. the aim of this study was to investigate the progressive effect of ccl 4 on the liver and whether the improvement of liver cirrhosis can be monitor...

Objectives. The aim of the present investigation was to study the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and correlate its activity to protein oxidation markers in type 2 diabetic patients under poor glycemic control. Methods. G6PD activity, protein carbonyl group concentration, and total thiol group content were measured in blood samples of 40 patients with type 2 diabetes mellit...
