The direct carboxylation of pyruvate to oxaloacetate (WoodWerkman reaction) was postulated more than 25 years ago as a probable mechanism for the formation of dicarboxylic acids by CO% fixation (1) and a considerable body of evidence on the interrelationship of dicarboxylic acids and CO2 during bacterial growth was interpreted in this light (24). There was no direct evidence for the existence o...

The hemilabile chiral C2 symmetrical bidentate substituted amide ligands (1R,2R)-5(a-d) and (1S,2S)-6(a-d) were synthesized in quantitative yield from (1R,2R)-(+)-3-methylenecyclo-propane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid (1R,2R)-3 and (1S,2S)-(-)-3-methylene-cyclopropane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid (1S,2S)-3, in two steps, respectively. The chiral Feist's acids (1R,2R)-3 and (1S,2S)-3 were obtained in good isom...

The reactions of N1,N2-Di-boc-1,2,4-triaminobutane with bridged dicarboxylic acids afford the corresponding bis-amides from which – after removal of the Boc groups – bis(N,N′-bidendate) ligands H2NCH2CH(NH2)(CH2)2NHCO-X-CONH(CH2)2CH(NH2)CH2NH2 can be obtained. New examples are the reactions of the triaminobutane with pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, with phenylene-1,4-diacetic acid, with terepht...

Studies on the dimer of o-ketosuccinamic acid indicate that its structure is 4,6-dihydroxy-2-oxo-piperidine&carboxamide-4,6-dicarboxylic acid. The dimer was converted in acid solution to 2-hydroxy-pyridine-4,6-dicarboxylic acid; ultraviolet spectral evidence was obtained for intermediates in this transformation and studies with L-[4J4C]asparagine conmrned the pathway. On hydrogenation the dimer...

In the title compound, C(10)H(8)N(2)O(10)·2H(2)O, the skeleton of the dicarboxylic acid mol-ecule is approximately planar, the largest deviation being 0.477 (1) Å for an O atom of a nitro group; this nitro group is twisted out of the plane of the ring by 24.6 (1)°. Adjacent mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which connect the dicarboxylic acid and water mol-ecules into a three-dimen...

Some new macrocyclic dibenzotetraoxadiamides, tribenzotetraoxadimides, tribenzopentaoxadiamide, tribenzohexaoxadiamide, and tetrabenzoheptaoxadiamide 15-22 have been prepared. These compounds were obtained in the macrocyclization step by reacting the diamines 6 and 7 with appropriate dicarboxylic acid dichlorides 8-14. The cyclization does not require high dilution techniques or template ef...

Two isostructural 1D compounds {[M3(hpdc)2(H2O)6] 2H2O}n (M = Mn, Co; H3hpde = 2-hydroxypyrimidine-4,6-dicarboxylic acid) were synthesized by the in situ hydrothermal reactions of 2-chloropyrimidine-4,6-dicarboxylic acid with MCl2 (M = Mn, Co) and NaOH; the MnII compound shows spin-canted antiferromagnetism, whereas the CoII compound exhibits the coexistence of spin-canting and a two-step field...

in this study, isophthalic acid-zirconium(iv) nanocomposite has been prepared from zirconyl nitrate pentahydrate and potassium iodide, with isophthalic acid, (c8h6o4=benzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid) as a ligand, via sonochemical method in ethylene glycol and methanol as solvents. the crystalline tetragonal zro2 has been produced by thermal decomposition of isophthalic acid-zirconium(iv) nanocompo...
