Herein, we report a novel ferrocenyldithiophosphonate functional conducting polymer and its use as an immobilization matrix in amperometric biosensor applications. Initially, 4-(2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)amidoferrocenyldithiophosphonate was synthesized and copolymerized with 4-(2,5-di(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)benzenamine at graphite electrodes. The amino groups on the polymer we...

Reaction of 6-arylamino-1,3-dialkyluracils with anhydrides of polyfluorocarboxylic acids in the presence of pyridine and subsequent cyclization with concentrated H2SO4 gave the corresponding 1,3-dialkyl-5-(polyfluoroalkyl)pyrimido[4,5-b]quinoline-2,4(1H,3H)-diones (5-polyfluoroalkyl-5-deazaalloxazines). The reactivity of these compounds towards nucleophilic reagents, such as sodium cyanoborohyd...

One-step reactions between squaric acid and pyrroles, such as 3-ethyl-2,4-dimethyl-pyrrole 1,2,5-trimethylpyrrole, in water provide the corresponding pyrrol-2-yl- pyrrol-3-yl-containing semisquaraines high yields. These serve useful precursors for synthesis of various non-symmetric pyrrole-containing squaraine dyes.

2-(methylthio)-1,4-diaryl-2-butene-1,4-dione (3) are prepared from readily available aryl methyl ketones in the presence of copper(II) oxide, iodine, and dimethyl sulfoxide. The success of the cross-coupling reaction of 4-chloroacetophenone with 2-acetylthiophene confirms a proposed self-sorting tandem reaction mechanism. Both Z- and E-isomers of compound 3 are readily converted into the corres...

All the non-H atoms of the title compound, C(10)H(10)N(2)O(2), are nearly in the same plane with a maximum deviation of 0.093 (1) Å. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are linked by pairs of inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating inversion dimers with R(2) (2)(14) ring motifs.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(15)H(11)FN(2), the pyrrole ring makes dihedral angles of 33.19 (9) and 36.33 (10)° with the pyridine and 4-fluoro-phenyl rings, respectively. The pyridine ring makes a dihedral angle of 46.59 (9)° with the 4-fluoro-phenyl ring. In the crystal structure, an N-H⋯N hydrogen bond joins the mol-ecules into chains.

When a solution containing xylose and L-lysine is heated under weakly acidic conditions, it turns brown by the Maillard reaction. We isolated here two novel yellow compounds from a heated solution containing xylose and lysine, and identified pyrrolyl-methylidene-pyrrolone derivatives named dilysyldipyrrolones A and B. Their chemical structures were elucidated by instrumental analyses as 6-[[1-[...
