Derivatives of methylenediphosphonic acid possess wide spectra of biological activities and are used in enzymology as research tools as well as in practical medicine. Carbonyl diphosphonic acid is a promising starting building block for synthesis of functionally substituted methylenediphosphonates. Investigation of the interaction of carbonyl diphosphonic acid with hydroxylamine clearly demonst...

In the title β-thio-carbonyl compound, C16H16O3S, the adjacent meth-oxy and carbonyl O atoms are synperiplanar [the O-C-C-O torsion angle is 19.8 (4)°] and are separated by 2.582 (3) Å. The dihedral angle between the rings is 40.11 (16)°, and the meth-oxy group is coplanar with the benzene ring to which it is connected [the C-C-O-C torsion angle is 179.1 (3)°]. The most notable feature of the c...

Reactions of a neutral silyleneruthenium complex with ketones and aldehydes, and isolation of their agostic intermediates are reported, where an alpha-H abstraction or hydrosilylation of the carbonyl compounds occurs depending on the substituents of the substrates.

To explore reasons for differences in the malignancy of tumors, we have compared two cell lines derived from a mouse lung adenocarcinoma cell line that differ 10-fold in their capacity to form lung metastases from s.c. primary tumors or after i.v. injection. One mRNA encoding carbonyl reductase was identified at a relatively high abundance in the subline with low metastatic capacity but was not...

A novel method that permits the quantitative detection and classification of various carbonyl groups in lignins has been developed. The proposed method was optimized with the quantitative trifluoromethylation of a series of carbonyl-containing lignin-like model compounds. This effort was followed by (19)F NMR spectral analyses of the resulting fluorine derivatives allowing for a thorough unders...

Catalytic hydrolysis technology of carbonyl sulfide (COS) at low temperature was reviewed, including the development of catalysts, reaction kinetics, and reaction mechanism of COS hydrolysis. It was indicated that the catalysts are mainly involved metal oxide and activated carbon. The active ingredients which can load on COS hydrolysis catalyst include alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, transi...

a simple, efficient and clean procedure has been developed for the cleavage of imines c=n bond. deprotection of imines to their parent carbonyl and amine compounds was achieved using p-toluenesulfonic acid in the solid state condition at 25-45 ˚c. the salient features of this methodology are shorter reaction times, cheap processing, high yields of product and easy availability of the catalyst. ...
