Orthogonal attachment of a DOTA[Ln(3+)] complex or a coumarin fluorophore to appropriately functionalized bis-4-aminobenzamidines yields compounds that experience A/T-selective, dsDNA-dependent energy transfer processes, and elicit long wavelength emission of light.

A FeCl3-catalyzed highly regioselective 1,2-addition/substitution sequence of 3-acetylcoumarins and indoles has been developed to afford highly hindered tetrasubstituted bis(indolyl)methanes bearing a biologically useful coumarin motif in 56-99% yields.

Confined environments can be used to alter the selectivity of a reaction by influencing the organization of the reactants, altering the mobility of trapped molecules, facilitating one reaction pathway or selectively stabilizing the products. This manuscript utilizes a series of potentially photoreactive guests to interrogate the utility of the one-dimensional nanochannels of a porous host to ab...

The title compound, a bis-5,5'-triazole, C(38)H(28)N(6)O(4), was observed as a side-product from the Sharpless-Meldal click reaction of the corresponding coumarin alkyne and benzyl-azide. Although the compound was present as a minor component, it crystallized in preference to the major product. The two triazole rings are almost orthogonal to each other [dihedral angle = 83.8 (1)°]. However the ...

Cinnamon is a type of plant that contains bioactive components and useful as functional food used in the prevention diabetes mellitus. The aim this study was to identify content aquadest extract cinnamon (Cinnamomum burmanii B.) using GC-MS. results GC-MS analysis showed there were eight different compounds contained extract, namely cinnamaldehyde, coumarin, ethalic acid, phthalazinone, acetyl ...

A cubic cage complex assembled from twelve bis-bidentate ligands and eight Co(II) ions provides a cavity that selectively recognises and binds coumarin in MeCN solution. The cage portals are large enough to allow guest exchange, but small enough to provide a kinetic trap; the cage paramagnetism facilitates detailed NMR analysis.

A fluorogenic chemosensing system is described and shown to selectively detect pyrophosphate under physiological conditions. In the best case, pyrophosphate and hydrogen phosphate are capable of displacing a fluorescent coumarin-derived indicator from a bis Zn-dipicolylamine coordination compound with association constants of 10 and 10M , respectively. 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

nano sulfated titania was tested as solid acid heterogeneous catalyst for the synthesis of 4-(trifluoromethyl) coumarin and coumarin derivatives under solvent-free condition. factorial design evidenced a positive effect of reaction temperature, amount of catalyst, and solvents.  this nano-sized sulfated titania has been prepared by a sol-gel hydrothermal process. the prepared sulfated titania s...

A number of mono- and bis-quaternary ammonium salts, containing edrophonium-like and coumarin moieties tethered by an appropriate linker, proved to be highly potent and selective dual binding site acetylcholinesterase inhibitors with good selectivity over butyrylcholinesterase. Homobivalent bis-quaternary inhibitors 11 and 12, differing by only one methylene unit in the linker, were the most po...

There is much interest in designing molecular sized containers that influence and facilitate chemical reactions within their nanocavities. On top of the advantages of improved yield and selectivity, the studies of reactions in confinement also give important clues that extend our basic understanding of chemical processes. We report here, the synthesis and self-assembly of an expanded bis-urea m...
