Reaction of 3,4,4,5-tetrachloro-4H-1,2,6-thiadiazine with 2-mercaptoethan-1-ol (1 equiv.) gave 6,10-dichloro-1-oxa-4,8-dithia-7,9-diazaspiro[4.5]deca-6,9-diene in 12% yield. The compound was fully characterized.

michael addition of pyrimidine and purine nucleobases to substituted as well as unsubstituted α,β-unsaturated esters efficiently proceeds in the presence of catalytic amount of zinc oxide in ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide (zno/[bmim]br) under microwave irradiation to afford carboacyclic nucleosides, as biologically important compounds, in good to excellent yields and in short ...

An efficient cyclization of 2’-hydroxychalcone to flavanone using calcium chloride as a catalyst was developed. The scope of the reaction was studied with substituted 2’-hydroxychalcone and these chalcones was converted into corresponding flavanone in good yield. The merits of this method are inexpensive and easily available catalyst, easy workup procedure, avoid use of toxic solvent. 

The one-pot, multi-component synthesis of 4,4′-(arylmethylene)bis(1H-pyrazol-5-ols) by tandem Knoevenagel-Michael reaction of phenylhydrazine, ethyl acetoacetate and aldehydes in the presence of silica-bonded N-propylpiperazine sulfamic acid (SBPPSA) as a recyclable solid acid catalyst was reported. SBPPSA showed much the same efficiency when used in consecutive reaction runs.

AIM To investigate whether microRNA (miR)-34a mediates oxaliplatin (OXA) resistance of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells by inhibiting macroautophagy via the transforming growth factor (TGF)-β/Smad4 pathway. METHODS miR-34a expression levels were detected in CRC tissues and CRC cell lines by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Computational search, functional luciferase assay and we...

results two bacterial types, st208, and st218, were identified in all 140 samples. the st208 mainly came from icu and department of respiratory medicine, while st218 from department of plastic surgery; 70.21% of st208 and 84.78% of st218 were carbapenem-resistant acinetobacter baumannii (crab) and carbapenem-susceptible acinetobacter baumannii (csab), respectively. multidrug-resistance genes in...

Furan-2,5-diylbis(phenylmethanol) is a key intermediate to access sub(oxa)porphyrins. Previously, this was accessible from fossil-derived furan using highly dangerous lithium reagents. Presently, we have produced cashew apple bagasse (CAB), via the formation of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF). CAB non-food biomass containing cellulose and hemicellulose. From CAB, obtained HMF in yield 310 mg/g CA...

A Simple and efficient method for Michael addition of pyrrole and indole to α,β- un saturated compounds has been developed in the presence of oxalic acid under refluxing reaction condition was achieved.

Dipivaloylketene (2) is obtained by flash vacuum pyrolysis of furan-2,3-dione 6 and dimerizes to 1,3-dioxin-4-one 3, which is a stable but reactive ketene. The transannular addition and rearrangement of enols formed by the addition of nucleophiles to the ketene function in 3 generates axially chiral 2,6,9-trioxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonadienes (bisdioxines) 4. When arylamines are used as the nucleophil...
