CuI nanoparticles as an expedient and recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of N-cyclohexyl-3-aryl-quinoxaline-2-amines in ethanol via a multi-component reaction are established. The products were separated from the catalyst simply by filtration. The catalyst could be recycled and reused for several times without noticeably decreasing the catalytic activity.

The effects of single agent therapy with 1-(-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea, 5-fluorouracil, and 5-(3,3-dimethyl-1-triazeno)-imidazole-4-carboxamide on a human malignant melanoma transplanted and passed serially in thymusless nude mouse were studied. Tumor response varied. A single dose of 1-(-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexyl-1-nitrosourea induced initial tumor regression, but thereafter grow...

The effects of 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea, 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-cyclohexl-1-nitrosourea, and 1-(2-chloroethyl)-3-(trans-4-methylcyclohexyl)-1-nitrosourea on two nonmitochondrial DNA polymerases (I and II) purified from rat liver and hepatoma were examined. The activity of DNA polymerase I was not altered by treatment with any of the nitrosoureas or the corresponding isocyanates, 2-chlo...

In this paper we propose the synthesis of 4-(anthracen-10-yl)-1-cyclohexyl-3-phenoxyazetidin2-one. In addition to its synthesis AM1 calculations to characterize the physical properties of the molecule is also presented.

New ruthenium Grubbs' and Hoveyda-Grubbs' second generation catalysts bearing N-alkyl/N-isopropylphenyl N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligands with syn or anti backbone configuration were obtained and compared in model olefin metathesis reactions. Different catalytic efficiencies were observed depending on the size of the N-alkyl group (methyl or cyclohexyl) and on the backbone configuration. The...

N,N'-Bis(2-chloroethyl)-N-nitrosourea (BCNU) is a sub strate for a microsomal enzyme of mouse liver. The reaction requires NADPH, and the product is 1,3-bis(2-chloro ethyl)urea. This activity is also found in mouse lungs but not in several other tissues. With reaction conditions under which BCNU is not chemically degraded, the Km for BCNU with liver microsomes is 1.7 mM; nicotine is a competiti...

The expedient synthesis of a novel chiral (1S,2S)-N-[(2-isothiocyanato)cyclohexyl] trifluoromethanesulfonamide and its use as a derivatizing auxiliary for the straightforward determination of optical purity of chiral amines are reported.
