A new route for constructing PAHs from cyclohexanone by trimerization, bromination, trisannulation and aromatization, and the synthesis of a novel sulfur-containing polycyclic heteroaromatic have been described.

Metabolic aromatization of xenobiotics is an unusual reaction with some documented examples. For instance, the oxidation of 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine to the neurotoxic pyridinium ion metabolite 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium by monoamine oxidase (MAO) B in the brain has been of interest to a number of investigators. It has also been reported that although the aromatization of N-...

Borylalkenes are found to serve as efficient dienophiles in a cycloaddition reaction with o-quinodimethanes, giving diverse boryltetralins, which are convertible into borylnaphthalenes via an oxidative aromatization.

Hantzsch 1 ,4- dihy&opyridines are rapidly oxidized to the corresponding pyridine derivatives using zinc chlorochromate nonahydrate [Zn(C1CrO ) .9H O] in dichloromethane at room temperature. In addition to aromatization, no loss of the 4- substituent is observed

Municipal solid waste (MSW) compost contains a significant amount of humic substances. In this study, the compost consisted of residual MSW with the metal, plastic and glass removed. In order to enhance degradation processes and the degree of composting humification, complex microorganisms (Bacillus casei, Lactobacillus buchneri and Candida rugopelliculosa) and ligno-cellulolytic (Trichoderma a...

hantzsch 1 ,4- dihy&opyridines; are rapidly oxidized to the corresponding pyridine derivatives using zinc chlorochromate nonahydrate [zn(c1cro ) .9h o] in dichloromethane at room temperature. in addition to aromatization, no loss of the 4- substituent is observed

The effect of exemestane (6-methylenandrosta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione) 25 mg p.o. once daily on in vivo aromatization was studied in 10 postmenopausal women with advanced breast cancer. Aromatization was determined before treatment and after 6-8 weeks on therapy by administering a bolus injection of [3H]androstenedione (500 microCi) and [14C]estrone (5 microCi) followed by measurement of the isotop...

The addition of androstenedione and NADPH to human placental microsomes results in a marked increase in the rate of 0 2 and NADPH utilization concomitant with estrogen formation. Initially, 5 to 12 moles of O2 and an equivalent amount of NADPH are consumed per mole of estrogen formed, the ratio varying from one microsomal preparation to another. In the presence, however, of 10 to 20 mM KCN, 3 m...
