The development of a Ni(II) (S)-Tol-BINAP-catalyzed enantioselective alkylation of N-acylthiazolidinethiones with trimethyl orthoformate is described. The reaction is general with respect to the thiazolidinethione, providing the desired adducts in good to excellent yield and with high levels of enantioselectivity (11 examples, 51-92% yield, 90-99% ee). The products are readily converted into a ...

Naphthol is a widely used chemical and medical detection biomarker, but it harmful to human health the environment. Therefore, highly sensitive method for naphthol urgently required. Herein, an electrochemical microsensor simultaneous of isomers was fabricated by in situ growth three-dimensional graphene network (3DGN) on screen-printed electrodes. The exhibited good sensing responses typical (...

The marine cyanobacterium Oscillatoria sp. strain JCM oxidized naphthalene predominantly to 1-naphthol. Experiments with [1-2H]naphthalene and [2-2H]naphthalene indicated that 1-naphthol was formed with 68 and 74% retention of deuterium, respectively. No significant isotope effect was observed when the organism was incubated with a 1:1 mixture of naphthalene and [2H8]naphthalene. The results in...

Substrates that are specific for certain UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) isoforms are usually used as specific inhibitors to identify UGT isoforms responsible for the glucuronidation of drugs. 1-Naphthol and 4-nitrophenol are probe substrates for human UGT1A6. In the present study, we found that UGT1A1-catalyzed estradiol 3-O-glucuronide formation and UGT1A4-catalyzed imipramine N-glucuronide...

To test the hypothesis that o-hydroxy amines are proximate agents in chemical carcinogenesis paraffin pellets containing the hydrochlorides of 2-amino-l-fluorenol, 2-amino-3-fluorenol, 2-amino-5-fluorenol, 2-amino-7-fluorenol, 2-fluorenamine, and 1amino-2-naphthol were implanted into the urinary bladders of Swiss female mice. Paraffin pellets alone were implanted as controls. Histological exami...

Abstract The use of chemical additives (1- and 2-naphthol, formaldehyde) in hydrothermal pre-treatments pine, birch, willow wood was evaluated to minimize lignin condensation reactions consequently improve the saccharification pre-treated materials. residual hydrolysis lignins were then tested preparation polylactic acid (PLA)-based composites. results showed that addition 2-naphthol pre-treatm...
