Heating a toluene soln. of an alpha -(isocyano)acetamide deriv., an aldehyde and a 3-(2-aminophenyl)propenoic acid (aniline) deriv. in the presence of lithium bromide at 60 Deg provides an oxa-bridged tetracyclic tetrahydroquinoline in good to excellent yi ...
A [(salen)-AlIIICl] complex catalyzes the Passerini three-component reaction of an aldehyde, a carboxylic acid, and an isocyanide to afford alpha -acyloxyamides, e.g., I, with good to excellent enantioselectivity. A variety of nonchelating substrates can b ...
A simple and fast method for the functionalisation of single-walled carbon nanotubes with carboxylic acid terminated molecules, at varying molar fractions, is presented. ...
Monomeric phthalocyanine pentylester derivatives containing Cu and Zn were synthesized via the cyclotetramerization of 4,5-dipentylphthalonitrile. Conversion of the pentylester derivatives by hydrolysis yielded the octacarboxylic acid phthalocyanine deriva ...
Side-chain carboxyl and carbonyl groups play a major role in protein interactions and enzyme catalysis. A series of C-13 relaxation experiments is introduced to study the dynamics of carboxyl and carbonyl groups in protein side chains on both fast (sub-ns) ...
Novel amphiphilic multi-arm star-block copolymers with a hyperbranched core, a hydrophobic inner shell, and a hydrophilic outer shell have been prepared from a commercial hyperbranched polyester macroinitiator by ring-opening polymerization of -caprolacton ...
L-lysine is an essential a-amino acid and a necessary building block for all proteins in the body. As an essential amino acid, L-lysine is not synthesized by humans or animals. Industrially produced L-lysine has therefore a big market as food additive, e.g ...
An Ugi-type reaction of tetrahydroisoquinoline with an isocyanide and a carboxylic acid in the presence of iodoxybenzoic acid (IBX) afforded the 1,2-diacylated adduct in good to excellent yields. E.g., in the presence of IBX, reaction of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro ...
This paper describes the preparation, characterization, and enzymatic activity of complex coacervate core micelles (C3Ms) composed of poly (acrylic acid) (PAA) and poly (N- methyl-2- vinyl pyridinium iodide)-b-poly (ethylene oxide) (PQ2VP-PEO) to which the ...
Effective encapsulation of small, volatile, weakly water-soluble molecules such as flavors and fragrances is necessary to protect them from degradation, to increase their lifetime, and to improve their water dispersion and fixation depending on the substra ...
