Neutral, cationic and anionic allyl compounds of scandium contain highly fluxional allyl ligands in solution, whilst in the solid state both η(1)- and η(3)-binding modes are detected.

Objective(s): Allylbenzenes have been recently developed as inhibitors of lipoxygenases. They decrease peroxidation activity via mimicking 1,4-unsaturated bonds of fatty acids by their allyl portion. We designed and synthesized new derivatives of allyl benzenes (6a-f) with isopropoxy and amide substituents at ortho and meta positions towards allyl group, respectively. ...

A new method for the synthesis of allyl aromatic compounds not involving any metal-containing reagent or catalyst has been developed. Arylamines substituted with a large number of different substituents were converted via diazotizative deamination with tert-butyl nitrite in allyl bromide and acetonitrile to the corresponding allyl aromatic compounds. The allylation reaction was found to be suit...

Garlic and garlic extracts, through their antioxidant activities, have been reported to provide protection against free radical damage in the body. This study investigated antioxidant properties of garlic compounds representing the four main chemical classes, alliin, allyl cysteine, allyl disulfide, and allicin, prepared by chemical synthesis or purification. Alliin scavenged superoxide, while ...

Evidence continues to point to the anticancer properties of fresh garlic extracts, aged garlic, garlic oil, and anumberof specificorganosulfur compoundsgeneratedbyprocessinggarlic. Theseanticarcinogenicandantitumorigenic characteristics appear to arise through both doseand temporal-related changes in a number of cellular events involved with the cancer process, including those involving drug me...

The synthesis of simple imidazolium-based ligand precursors containing a 1,3-alkylidene-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene spacer was examined and different synthetic protocols were applied depending on the nature of the alkylidene arm. For a methylene arm, simple dications 5a,b.2CI were obtained directly. The higher homologue counterparts were conveniently prepared by general multistep routes following a ...

reaction of sodium salt of allyl alcohol with 2-chloro-5-phenyl- l,3,4-thiadiazole gave 2-allyloxy-5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole 2. compounds 4a and 4b could be obtained through the reaction of nitrone 3 with 2. reaction of compound 2 with nitrone 5 afforded the final compound 6. antifungal activity of all compounds was less than ketoconazole

Analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry led to the identification of 26 compounds in Acorus gramineus essential oil. The antifungal activity of the identified compounds was tested singularly by using standard compounds. Allyl isothiocyanate and cis-asarone showed inhibition rates of 100% against P. cactorum at 28 mg/l air. In a test with C. parasitica and E. circinatum, allyl isothiocy...

Volatile sulfur compounds arising from grated raw or heat-treated garlic in both in-vitro and in-vivo tests were gas-chromatographically analyzed. In in-vitro tests, the head-space vapor gas from garlic in a vial was analyzed. It was clarified that allyl mercaptan arising from raw garlic decreased with the passage of time and other volatile low-molecular sulfur compounds (LMSC) did not show rem...
