Abstract:
... Oxyallyl cations are prepared in situ from readily available α-tosyloxy ketones and act as transient electrophilic partners in (3 + 3) cycloaddition with nitrones. Under mild conditions, this method provides a chemoselective and diastereoselective route to polysubstituted 1,2-oxazinanes. A stepwise process is proposed to rationalize the diastereoselectivity of this transformation. ...

The crystal structure of 3-formyl-N-methylcytisine perchlorate involves two protonated cations mutually bonded by a bifurcated N–H…O H-bond. A Br…O donor–acceptor interaction ...
... Two new 3-formyl-2-arylbenzofurans, iteafuranals A and B, were isolated from the 95% EtOH extract of the aerial parts of Itea ilicifolia. Their structures were elucidated as (E)-2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3-formyl-4-hydroxy-5-(prop-1-en-1-yl)benzofuran (1, iteafuranal A) and (E)-2-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-3-formyl-4-hydroxy-5-(prop-1-en-1-yl)benzofuran (2, iteafuranal B) by comprehensive analyses ...
... ¹H- and ¹³C{¹H}-NMR indicate that the liquid formed at room temperature from 1 mole of 1-methylimidazole and 2 moles of anhydrous HBr contains the 3-methylimidazolium cation (Hmim⁺) and an equilibrium anionic mixture of Br⁻, HBr₂⁻, and H₂Br₃⁻. This liquid cleaves ethers efficiently, producing the corresponding bromides and alcohols from cyclic and straight-chain dialkyl ethers and phenols and alky ...

... The 3-triethylammonium propane sulfonic (TEA-PS⁺) cation associated with the anion tetrafluoroborate, hydrogen sulfate or trifluoromethanesulfonate leads to the formation of the new protic ionic liquids (ILs) 3-triethylammonium propane sulfonic acid tetrafluoroborate (TEA-PS·BF₄), 3-triethylammonium propane sulfonic acid hydrogen sulfate (TEA-PS·HSO₄) and 3-triethylammonium propane sulfonic acid t ...
... The stereochemistry of the substitution product formed when (1s,3s)-3-(tert-butyl)-1-methylcyclobutyl methanesulfonate, 7, reacts in trifluoroethanol is one of retention of configuration. This is consistent with the intermediacy of a nonclassical bicyclobutonium cation 8N. As the solvent becomes less highly ionizing, the product contains increasing amounts of the isomeric inverted product. This is ...
... In order to advance towards the vitrification of complex organs, further advances in cryoprotectant compositions will be necessary. Systematic solution optimization has enabled the identification of superior combinations of cryoprotectants for various cell and tissue types, yet the range of chemicals used as protectants is still quite narrow and it is oftentimes not well understood why some compos ...

Abstract:
... Nutrient status of arable soils is linked to food production potential and environmental risks. The use of nutrients is affected by policy measures, which formulation calls for data on the long-term development of soil fertility. In Finland, the chemical status (pH4.65 ammonium acetate-extractable nutrients and pHw) of cultivated topsoils has been surveyed at the same sites in 1974 (n=1835), 1987, ...
... Oxidative stress induced by redox-active metal cations such as Cu²⁺ is a key event in the development of Alzheimer’s disease. A detailed knowledge of the structure of Cu²⁺–Aβ complex is thus important to get a better understanding of this critical process. In the present study, we use a computational approach that combines homology modeling with quantum-mechanics-based methods to determine plausib ...

Abstract:
... Uranium(IV) 5f² magnetism is dominated by a transition from a triplet to a singlet ground state at low temperatures. For the first time, we achieved magnetic ordering of U(IV) atoms in a complex fluoride through the incorporation of 3d transition metal cations. This new route allowed us to obtain an unprecedented series of U(IV) ferrimagnetic materials of the new composition Cs₂MU₃F₁₆ (M = Mn²⁺, C ...
... Previous investigations on the biological effects of 3α-hydroxymasticadienonic acid (1) have demonstrated both anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activities. However, neither the molecular mechanism of cytotoxic action nor the possible intracellular target(s) have been reported so far for this compound. The crucial role played by mitochondria on both cell survival and death, due to production of ATP ...

... A novel oligoglycoside cucumarioside A₈ with unprecedented hydroxy group at C-18 was isolated from sea cucumber Eupentacta fraudatrix and its structure elucidated. The presence of hydroxy group at C-18 indicates that the glycoside is a “hot” metabolite that allows clarification of some peculiarities of 4,4,14-trimethylsterol glycoside biosynthetic pathways. A hypothetical scheme of biosynthesis of ...

Abstract:
... Two-dimensional (2D) Ruddlesden–Popper (RP) perovskites are attractive due to their appealing environmental stability. We demonstrate herein a spacer cation, 4-(aminoethyl)pyridine (4-AEP), for preparation of 2D RP perovskite films. The 4-AEP can not only act as a spacer cation but also coordinate with the Pb²⁺ ions in PbI₂ with the nitrogen atom on the pyridine ring. High-quality 2D RP perovskite ...
... In a previous paper [Inorg. Chem., 2010, 49, 1245], we studied the reaction of F₂NO⁺ with an excess of HN₃ which led to the quantitative formation of N₅⁺ and N₂O. Based on ¹⁵N-labeling experiments and theoretical calculations, the formation of a 4-oxo-N₇O⁺ intermediate with a decomposition energy barrier of about 40 kcal mol⁻¹ was proposed. Since this relatively high barrier disagreed with our fai ...

Abstract:
... Several bis-vanillin derivatives containing semicarbazone moieties have been prepared and used in discriminating trivalent cations. The prepared probes are readily obtained and they are usually highly crystalline. Depending on the ligand and the studied cations, quenching, enhancement or no changes in the fluorescence spectrum were observed. Using a series of the prepared ligands allows distinguis ...
... An excellent method for the preparation of gem-trinitro compounds is destructive nitration based on an active methylene moiety with a neighboring carbonyl structure. Now described is an alternative approach where oxidative nitration was utilized to synthesize gem-trinitro compounds. Using this strategy, 5-(dinitromethyl)-3-(trinitromethyl)-1,2,4-triazole (6) and its ionic derivatives (7–12) were d ...

The sulphur atom effectively participates in the macrocyclic π-conjugation. Fluorescence quantum yields of thiaporphyrinium cations were lower than 1% unlike oxaporphyrinium cations. Detailed photophysical analysis and DFT calculations clarified the vibrational mode regarding th ...
... Sediments from Lake Petit (2200 m a.s.l., Southern Alps) are particularly relevant for analysis of coupled landscape palaeoecology and palaeolimnology. Diatom assemblages, organic matter composition of sediments (total nitrogen and organic carbon) and Pediastrum boryanum concentrations were obtained from a 144-cm-long core, enabling the reconstruction of the aquatic ecosystem over nearly the last ...

This adaptation is mediated by molecular mechanisms, including proteinase expression, that are regulated by cations such as Zn2+. Herein, we characterized the previously identified 50kDa metalloproteinase aminopeptidase P (M24 family) member TvMP50 ...
... Currently, developing effective photocatalysts for reducing CO₂ to commercial chemicals and fuels has aroused great interest. However, rates of photocatalytic CO₂ reduction remain too low to arouse interest. Herein, we successfully synthesized four different ultrathin MAl-layered double hydroxide (u-MAl-LDH) photocatalysts (where M = Mg²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, and Zn²⁺), each possessing a different number ...
... A novel 67-kDa protein kinase (p67(cdpk)) was identified in the microsomal membrane fraction of apple (Malus domestica Borkh. cv. Braeburn) suspension cultures and subsequently found to be active in sink tissues. Microsomal proteins were blotted onto Nylon or polyvinylidenedifluoride membranes, and p67(cdpk) assayed by in situ-labelling renatured proteins with [gamma-32P]ATP; thin-layer electropho ...

Various fluorosubstituted benzoylchlorides 1a-c are transformed into the corresponding acylpyridinium triflates 2a-c by one equivalent of the reagent pair 4-dimethyl-aminopyridine/ trimethylsilyltriflate (DMAP/TMSOTf). Due to the combined electrostatic and mesomeric effect of the acylpyridinium function, fluorine substituents in o- and p-positions can be subsequently substituted with a pyridinio g ...

Complementary shapes of the neutral symmetrical halogen-bond bis-donor core and octahedral inorganic cluster core prevent halogen-bonded polymers developing in more than one direction, favouring further templating by conducting radical cation slabs and yielding an 8 : 1 : 1 phase formulation instead of n : 2 : 1, with a 2D net, or m : 3 : 1, with a pseudo-cubic architecture, which may in principle ...
