A combination of an enantioselective conjugate addition/trapping sequence and a ruthenium(iii)-catalyzed domino cyclization provides a concise access to benzo[d]xanthenes found in several anti-influenza active sesquiterpene natural products.

A series of phthalimide derivatives planned as drugs candidates to treat the symptoms of sickle cell anemia were evaluated in a mutagenicity test using strains of Salmonella typhimurium TA100 and TA102, without and with addition of S9 mixture, with the aim to identify the best structural requirements for a drug candidate without genotoxic activity. The compounds (1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-isoind...

Six new compounds with polyketide decalin ring, peaurantiogriseols A-F (1-6), along with two known compounds, aspermytin A (7), 1-propanone,3-hydroxy-1- (1,2,4a,5,6,7,8,8a-octahydro-2,5-dihydroxy-1,2,6-trimethyl-1-naphthalenyl) (8), were isolated from the fermentation products of mangrove endophytic fungus Penicillium aurantiogriseum 328#. Their structures were elucidated based on their structu...

In the crystal of the title polymeric complex, [Ni(2)(C(18)H(4)O(10))(C(10)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(8)](n), each Ni(II) cation is coord-in-ated by four water mol-ecules in the equatorial plane, and is further bridged by an 9,10-dioxo-9,10-dihydro-anthracene-1,4,5,8-tetra-carb-oxy-l-ate anion and a 4,4'-bipyridine ligand in the axial directions, forming a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The 9,10-dioxo-9...

is not favorable (AH = + 3 1.5 kcal). Our conclusion is that an important catalytic site involves two adjacent surface dioxo units (the dual dioxo site), with each dioxo site extracting one H in a sequence of steps. The required dual dioxo site exists on the (010) surface of MOO, but does not exist on the other low index surfaces. This mechanism is supported by atmospheric pressure experimental...

A series of aminoalkanol derivatives of 8,11-dimethyl-3,5-dioxo-4-azatricyclo[5.2.2.0(2,6)] undec-8-en-1-yl acetate and 1,11-dimethyl-4-azatricyclo[5.2.2.0(2,6)]undecane-3,5,8-trione was prepared. The pharmacological profile of selected compounds was evaluated for affinity to beta-adrenoreceptors and serotoninergic receptors (5HT1A and 5HT2A).

A novel, efficient and one-pot method for preparation of 1, 8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene derivatives is reported using Nafion-H as an effective heterogeneous catalyst under thermal and solvent-free conditions. This method has the advantages of high yields, a cleaner reaction, simple methodology, easy work-up and greener conditions. The catalyst is easily prepared, stable, reusable and efficient un...

A series of novel 1, 8-dioxo-octahydroxanthene derivatives containing 4-thiazolidinone framework (4a-f) were synthesized through a four-step reaction starting from the reduction of nitro derivatives of 1, 8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes. The resulting aminoxanthenes converted to thiourea derivatives via their reaction with methyl isothiocyanate. The final products were synthesized through the re...

IN THE TITLE COMPOUND (SYSTEMATIC NAME 1,3,7-trimethyl-2,6-dioxo-7H-purin-9-ium hydrogen sulfate monohydrate), C(8)H(11)N(4)O(2) (+)·HSO(4) (-)·H(2)O, the crystal packing is stabilized through N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
