The palladium-catalyzed oxidative Heck-reaction, also referred to as Fujiwara-Moritani-reaction, has been investigated for the synthesis of styrenylsulfonyl compounds. Acetanilides and vinylsulfonyl compounds undergo dehydrogenative coupling reactions in moderate quantitative yields, using benzoquinone oxidant choice. Potassium peroxodisulfate, which had previously identified a superior with ac...

Anilines 1a-h on reaction with potassium thiocyanate and bromine in acetic acid yielded substituted 2-amino[2,1-b][1,3]benzothiazoles 3a-h. The compounds 3a-h on reaction with ethyl acetoacetate and pheylidine acetoacetate, yielded, 2-methyl-4-H-pyrimido[2,1b][1,3]benzothiazole-4-ones 4a-h and ethyl 4-phenyl-2-methyl-4H–pyrimido[2,1b][1,3]benzothiazole-3-carboxylates 5a-h respectively. Pheylidi...

Recently, we reported that elevated extracellular potassium concentration in vitro inhibited proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells, formation of free radical compounds by macrophages, and reduced platelet sensitivity to agonists. In the present study we analyzed the effects of long-term, in vivo elevation of extracellular potassium concentration resulting from changes in d...

Potassium channels have a very wide distribution of single-channel conductance, with BK type Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channels having by far the largest. Even though crystallographic views of K(+) channel pores have become available, the structural basis underlying BK channels' large conductance has not been completely understood. In this study we use intracellularly applied quaternary ammonium co...

Recent investigations have shown the oxone-mediated oxidative methyl esterification of benzaldehyde derivatives using methanol. The reactions were accelerated in the presence of indium(III) triflate, a trivalent indium reagent, in many cases. Based on this method of methyl esterification of benzaldehyde derivatives, we further explored an application to heterocyclic aldehydes. The reactions wer...

A series of N-[3-{(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-ylthio) methyl}-5-mercapto-4H-1, 2, 4-triazol-4yl]-2-substituted phenoxy acetamide 6(a-g) were synthesized by the mixture of the compound of potassium 2-(2-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-ylthio) acetyl) hydrazinecarbodithioate (4) and aryloxy acid hydrazide (5) in presence of hydrochloric acid. The predicted structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed...

This study investigated the ability of fifteen disinfectants to eliminate pig-associated Salmonella, specifically focusing on monophasic Salmonella Typhimurium (S. 4,5,12:i:-). The study included three m-cresol, one glutaraldehyde/ formaldehyde, four glutaraldehyde/quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC), two iodine, two peracetic acid and three potassium peroxomonosulphate-based commercial disinfe...
