Novel sialyl donors 4 bearing a thioimidolyl moiety as the leaving group were successfully prepared from the corresponding arylthio derivatives 3 and a peracetylated chloro derivative of Neu5Ac 2 in the presence of N,N-di-isopropylethylamine with moderate yields. The reaction of 4 with various alcohols 5 was effectively activated by AgOTf as the promoter to give the corresponding O-sialosides 6...

The borazocine (ClB=NCMe3)4 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space groupC2/c with Z = 6, i. e. there are two independent molecules in the unit cell. The first molecule has no crystallographic symmetry, while the second molecule is characterized by a twofold axis which generates the (ClB= NCMe3)4 molecule from the fragment (ClB=NCMe3)2. The molecules are tub-shaped showing alternating long...

A new chloro-trinoreremophilane sesquiterpene 1, three new chlorinated eremophilane sesquiterpenes 2-4, together with a known compound, eremofortine C (5), were isolated from an Antarctic deep-sea derived fungus, Penicillium sp. PR19N-1. Structures were established using IR, HRMS, 1D and 2D NMR techniques. In addition, the plausible metabolic network of these isolated products is proposed. Comp...

1. Activity of 5-aminolaevulinate synthetase was measured in the midgut and other tissues of the last larval instar of the southern armyworm (Spodoptera eridania Cramer, formerly Prodenia eridania Cramer). 2. Optimum conditions for measuring the activity were established with respect to all variables involved and considerable differences from those reported for mammalian enzyme preparations wer...

The title compounds consist of a bornane skeleton with attached acetamide, C12H21NO (±)-(1) {systematic name: (±)-N-[(1RS,2RS,4RS)-1,7,7-tri-methylbi-cyclo-[2.2.1]heptan-2-yl]acetamide}, and chloro-acetamide, C12H20ClNO (±)-(2) {systematic name: (±)-2-chloro-N-[(1RS,2RS,4RS)-1,7,7-tri-methylbi-cyclo-[2.2.1]heptan-2-yl]-acetamide}, functionalities to the 2-exo-position. The crystal structure of ...
