Although BH3 simply coordinates the endocyclic P of (phospholidino)phosphaketene 1Dipp , the bulkier B(C6F5)3 gives rise to a zwitterionic diphosphirenium, which is a novel type of 2π-electron aromatic system as shown by the calculated NICS values. While the reaction of 1Dipp with Na[PCO(dioxane) x ] is unselective, the same reaction with the sterically bulky (phospholidino)phosphaketene 1Ar** ...

This work outlines a systematic and detailed study of the modification anatase TiO2 with tungsten (W). The impact this coupling has on temperature to rutile phase transition photocatalytic degradation 1,4-dioxane, highly toxic compound that is increasingly present in water bodies also studied. composite photocatalysts 2, 4, 8 16 mol. % W, respectively, were produced using sol-gel process then c...

By the use of a rapid dialysis equilibrium technique, the binding of skatole and acetyl-L-tryptophan with bovine albumin has been studied at various concentrations of KCl, dioxane, urea, and glycine, at different pH values, and at different temperatures. Binding was found to be principally at one site with an association constant much higher than at any secondary sites. The primary association ...

Simple and efficient procedures for palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of N-substituted 4-bromo-7-azaindole (1H-pyrrole[2,3-b]pyridine), with amides, amines, amino acid esters and phenols through C-N and C-O bond formation have been developed. The C-N cross-coupling reaction of amides, amines and amino acid esters takes place rapidly by using the combination of Xantphos, Cs(2)CO(3), d...

Carbohydrate moieties are important components of natural products, which are often imperative for the solubility and biological activity of the compounds. The aromatic polyketide alnumycin A contains an extraordinary sugar-like 4'-hydroxy-5'-hydroxymethyl-2',7'-dioxane moiety attached via a carbon-carbon bond to the aglycone. Here we have extensively investigated the biosynthesis of the dioxan...

A citrate stabilised silver nanoparticle (Ci-AgNP) based solvatochromic sensor, which functions as a highly selective and sensitive colorimetric probe for 1,4-dioxane in aqueous media is reported. The surfaces of the AgNPs generate reactive oxygen species, which promote the degradation of 1,4-dioxane assembled in the vicinity of the nanoparticle surfaces through charge transfer interactions. Du...

The solubilities of amino acids, diglycine, and triglycine have been measured in water and aqueous ethanol as well as dioxane solutions. Free energies of transfer of amino acid side chains and backbone peptide units from water to ethanol and dioxane solutions have been calculated from these data. The results show the similarity between the ‘effects of ethanol and dioxane on the stability of tho...

The structures of micelles of the surfactant Octaethyleneglycol mono n-dodecyl ether (C12E8, BL-8SY) in 0–80% aqueous 1,4-dioxane solutions (pH 7.2, ionic strength 2.44 mM) were investigated by small-angle X-ray scattering. C12E8 forms the core–shell discus micelle in 0–80% aqueous 1,4-dioxane solutions. Changing properties of aqueous 1,4-dioxane solution did not affect the outside-shapes of C1...
