Syntheses of steroidal heterocycles containing a five-membered N,S- heterocycle attached at the 6,7 positions of the B ring are reported. 5Alpha-cholestane-6-one (1), its 3beta-acetoxy- (2) and 3beta-chloro- (3) analogues reacted with semicarbazide and aqueous sodium acetate in refluxing ethanol to yield 5alpha-cholestan-6-one-semicarbazone 1a and its 3-beta-acetoxy and 3beta-chloro derivatives...

Novel OFET materials showing high mobility (0.77 cm2 V(-1) s(-1)) and good air-stability were developed using a benzobis(thiadiazole) (BBT) unit and the high FET performance was attributed to the low LUMO level and the film morphology.

Combining a strong donor, tris(dodecyloxy)phenyl)-dithieno[3,2-b:2',3'-d]pyrrole, with a strong acceptor, 4,8-dithien-2-yl-2lambda(4)delta(2)-benzo[1,2-c;4,5-c']bis[1,2,5]thiadiazole, has yielded the lowest bandgap, soluble, spray-processable polymer to date. The polymer has access to four different redox states and shows ambipolar behavior in OFETs. Multiple techniques, including transmission/...

A new NbO-type metal-organic framework ZJNU-40 incorporating highly polarized benzothiadiazole moieties exhibits a high CO2 uptake of 108 cm(3) g(-1) at 296 K and 1 atm, as well as good adsorption selectivities of CO2 over CH4 and N2 at room temperature, which is superior to that of the analogous MOF NOTT-101.

Regioselective synthesis of quinolone-1,2,4-triazoles was established starting from 4-hydroxyquinol-2-ones. The strategy started by the reaction ethyl bromoacetate with 4-hydroxyquinoline to give corresponding oxoquinolinyl acetates, which reacted hydrazine hydrate afford hydrazide derivatives. Subsequently, hydrazides isothiocyanate derivatives acyl thiosemicarbazides. Finally, subjecting thio...

In order to search for new antitumor drugs with high efficiency and low toxicity, a series of novel 4-aminoquinazoline derivatives containing 1,3,4-thiadiazole group were designed, synthesized evaluated antiproliferative activity against four human cancer cell lines (H1975, PC-3, MCF-7 HGC-27) using MTT assay in vitro. Among them, compound N-(5-((3,5-dichlorobenzyl)thio)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-...

Benzothiadiazole (BTH) enhanced the accumulation of soluble and cell-wall-bound phenolics in strawberry leaves and also improved the resistance to powdery mildew infection under greenhouse conditions. The most pronounced change was seen in the levels of ellagitannins, which increased up to 2- to 6-fold 4 days after the BTH application, but persisted only in the inoculated plants. The induction ...
