To reduce volumetric shrinkage of the commercially available polymeric dental composite during curing reaction, (2,2-bis [4-(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyloxy propoxy) phenyl] propane) (bis-GMA) derivatives, i.e., (2,2-bis[3-methyl, 4-(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyloxy propoxy) phenyl] propan) (DMBis-GMA) and (2,2bis[3,5-dimethyl, 4-(2-hydroxy-3-methacryloyloxy propoxy) phenyl] propane) (TMBis-GMA) were sy...

Near-infrared (NIR) Fourier transform (FT) surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectra were measured for Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) and dipping films of azobenzene-containing long-chain fatty acids (nAmH, n ) 8, 12, m ) 3, 5) on silver substrates prepared by silver mirror and nitric acid etched silver foil methods. FT-IR spectra were also obtained for some of the films on silver mirror, silver...

The ever-emerging microbial resistance has imposed great challenges for the medicinal chemist in designing newer chemical entities, which is a lengthy and time-consuming process. An alternate approach of repurposing older drugs can be undertaken to accelerate discovery some derivatives with lesser side effects. work reported present paper an extension idea drugs. study aimed synthesize series e...

3-Aryl-amido/imido-methyl-4-hydroxy-phenyl-acetophenones (I) were prepared in excellent yields by condensing equilmolar amounts or p-hydroxy acetophenones and aryl-amido/imido-alcohols in the presence of conc. H2SO4. Reaction of (I) with semicarbazide, hydro-chloride in ethanol afforded 3-Aryl-amido/imido-methyl-4-hydroxyphenyl-acetophenone-semicarbazones (II) in the yields ranging from 60-70%....

An efficient telescoped method for synthesis of 3-phenyl-10-(2,3,4-trimethoxyphenyl)-9,10-dihydro-4H,8H-pyrano[2,3-f]chromene-4,8-dione was elaborated. The presented protocol includes the one-pot multicomponent reaction 7-hydroxy-3-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one, 2,3,4-trimethoxybenzaldehyde and Meldrum’s acid. Advantages this are application readily available starting reagents, atom economy easy proc...

Ultrathin noncentrosymmetric nonlinear optical films based on zirconium phosphonate (ZP) self-assembled multilayers that incorporate the asymmetric azobenzene chromophore [5-[4-[[4-[(6-hydroxyhexyl)sulfonyl]phenyl]azo]phenyl]pentoxy]phosphonic acid (HAPA) are synthesized and constructed. The ZP film structure and multilayer deposition chemistry are characterized by a combination of polarization...

Several asco-, basidio-, and zygomycetes isolated from an agricultural field were shown to be able to hydroxylate the phenylurea herbicide isoproturon [N-(4-isopropylphenyl)-N',N'-dimethylurea] to N-(4-(2-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)phenyl)-N',N'-dimethylurea and N-(4-(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)phenyl)-N',N'-dimethylurea. Bacterial metabolism of isoproturon has previously been shown to proceed by an in...
