Quantum-chemical calculations were performed for all possible isomers of neutral aniline and its redox forms, and intramolecular proton-transfer (prototropy) accompanied by π-electron delocalization was analyzed. One-electron oxidation (PhNH(2) - e → [PhNH(2)](+•)) has no important effect on tautomeric preferences. The enamine tautomer is preferred for oxidized aniline similarly as for the neut...

A spectrophotometric study of the system heptanol—Nile red (NR)—water was carried out, where, for first time such studies, a non-colloidal surfactant that does not form micelles taken as surfactant. The dependence solubility NR on concentration heptanol in an aqueous solution studied. experiments were out at given chemical potential NR, which provided by excess solid phase NR. existence solubil...

The ability of the 2-substituted aniline motif to serve as a scaffold for designing potential LuxR-regulated quorum sensing (QS) modulators has been investigated, using docking experiments and biological evaluation of a series of 15 specially synthesized compounds. Aniline, 2-acetyl-aniline and 2-nitroaniline were considered, as well as their N-acylated derivatives. Docking experiments showed t...

Ag nanoplates are the first generated by the reductant aniline in the presence of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) at room temperature without stirring in the reaction process.

Subcomponent exchange transformed new high-spin FeII4L4 cage 1 into previously-reported low-spin FeII4L4 cage 2: 2-formyl-6-methylpyridine was ejected in favor of the less sterically hindered 2-formylpyridine, with concomitant high- to low-spin transition of the cage's FeII centers. High-spin 1 also reacted more readily with electron-rich anilines than 2, enabling the design of a system consist...

The synthesis and characterization of P-chiral phosphonite-, phosphonate- and thiophosphonate-Au(I) complexes are reported. These novel ligands for Au(I) are based on glycomimetic phosphorus scaffolds, obtained from the chiral pool. The catalytic activities of these complexes are shown in the cyclization of allenols and the hydroamination of 2-(2-propynyl)aniline combined with an organocatalyze...

Rubrivivax benzoatilyticus JA2 and other anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria produce indole derivatives when exposed to aniline, a xenobiotic compound. Though this phenomenon has been reported previously, the role of aniline in the production of indoles is still a biochemical riddle. The present study aims at understanding the specific role of aniline (as precursor or stimulator) in the producti...
