In the title compound, C(5)H(5)NO(2), the pyrrole ring and its carboxyl substituent are close to coplanar, with a dihedral angle of 11.7 (3)° between the planes. In the crystal structure, adjacent mol-ecules are linked by pairs of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form inversion dimers. Additional N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link these dimers into chains extending along the a axis.

The carboxylic acid residue in the title compound, C(6)H(4)BrNO(2), is twisted out of the plane of the other atoms, as indicated by the (Br)C-C-C-O(carbon-yl) torsion angle of -20.1 (9)°. In the crystal, supra-molecular chains mediated by O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds are formed with base vector [201] and C-H⋯O inter-actions reinforce the packing.

The bridge-substituted calix[4]arene carboxylic acid, 5,11,17,23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,26,27,28-tetramethoxy-calix[4]arene-2-carboxylic acid (1), can be readily converted to various esters 2-4 and reduced to the alcohol 5, which reacts with methyl iodide to give the ether 6. The alcohol can be dansylated to give 7, the fluorescence of which is selectively quenched by Cu(II) in acetonitrile. An at...

Single carbon to 18 carbon n-aliphatic carboxylic acids were tested for their attractive effects on female Aedes aegypti in a Y-tube olfactometer. Each acid was tested over a wide range of concentrations together with L-(+)-lactic acid, the indispensable synergist for other attractive components emitted from human hosts. The attractiveness of lactic acid was significantly augmented when combine...

[1,4]Diazepino[2,3-h]quinolone carboxylic acid 3 and its benzo-homolog tetrahydroquino[7,8-b]benzodiazepine-3-carboxylic acid 5 were prepared via PPAcatalyzed thermal lactamization of the respective 8-amino-7-substituted-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid derivatives 8, 10. The latter compounds were obtained by reduction of their 8-nitro-7-substituted-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid ...

[reaction: see text] Alpha-tocopherol (alpha-TOH), the main oil component making up vitamin E, and its nonnatural solid 6-hydroxy-2,2,5,7,8-pentamethylchroman and 6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylic acid structurally related analogues were oxidized quantitatively with 2 mol equiv of NO+ SbF6(-) in CH3CN at 233 K to form phenoxonium cations (alpha-TO+ SbF6(-)) in a chemically rever...

An inter-laboratory evaluation study was conducted in order to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of food additives by using a 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. Four antioxidants used as existing food additives (i.e., tea extract, grape seed extract, enju extract, and d-α-tocopherol) and 6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylic acid (Trolox) were used as analytical samples, an...

L-Azetidine-2-carboxylic acid is the naturally occurring lower homologue of L-proline. Reticulocytes from anemic rabbits incubated with DL-[14-C]azetidine-2-carboxylic acid synthesized radiolabeled hemoglobin, which when isolated from cell lysates co-chromatographed with unlabeled hemoglobin on Sephadex G-100 columns. Amino acid analysis of hemoglobin from reticulocytes incubated with DL-[14-C]...
