Scrutiny of structure of these bicyclic inositol derivatives shows that although the conformation of the two rings can vary depending on the configuration of the inositol ring and the phase in which the molecules are present, both the xanthates lead to the formation of the same dideoxyinositol. DFT calculations on these molecular systems suggest that neo-inositol derivatives undergo conformational change prior to radical formation while myo- inositol derivatives undergo conformational change subsequent to radical formation, during the deoxygenation reaction. A low barrier for intramolecular hydrogen transfer supports the extreme facility of this deoxygenation reaction. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

The bark extract of Lannea coromandelica has been reported to have hypoglycemic or anti-diabetic effects on animal models and human subjects. The aim of this study was to elucidate the molecular mechanisms of L. coromandelica extract as a glucagon receptor antagonist. The aqueous extract of L. coromandelica bark attenuated glucagon-mediated cAMP formation in a concentration dependent manner with an IC50 value of 4.24 +/- 1.31 mu g/ml. It shifted a concentration response curve of glucagon towards the right with a 4, 21 and 40-fold change in IC50 at 6.25, 12.5 and 25 mu g/ml of extract, respectively. Additionally, it attenuated an oxyntomodulin-mediated cAMP response. The extract was found specifically to inhibit glucagon mediated cAMP formation since it was ineffective in reducing cAMP levels nonspecifically-elevated by forskolin. The data support that the aqueous extract of L. coromandelica antagonizes the glucagon receptor and has the potential to reduce glucagon mediated liver glucose output. (C) 2015 Elsevier GmbH.

These pharmaceutical substances have penetrated into the water through various ways. Mechanistic and spectroscopic investigations of Ru3+-catalyzed oxidative degradation of azidothymidine (AZT) by heptavalent manganese was studied for the first time. The values of pH-dependent apparent second-order rate constant show that Ru3+ accelerates the rate of the oxidative degradation of AZT by heptavalent manganese eight times faster than uncatalyzed reaction. Ru3+ catalytic oxidative degradation of AZT by heptavalent manganese was greatly depending on the pH. The removal of the AZT by heptavalent manganese in the presence of Ru3+ shows unit order with respect to heptavalent manganese, Ru3+, and AZT. The influences of dielectric constant, ionic strength, pH, addition of monomer, variation in catalyst concentration, etc. on the rate of the reaction were studied thoroughly and discussed in detail. The eight different products produced during the reaction were analyzed using the high-resolution mass spectrometry. Activation parameters were determined from variation in temperature during the reaction. The catalytic plausible mechanism was projected in which Ru3+ is oxidized to higher oxidation states of ruthenium by heptavalent manganese at environmentally relevant pH.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">58</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.272</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kulkarni, Raviraj M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bhamare, Vijaykumar S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Santhakumari, B.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Oxidative transformation of antiretroviral drug zidovudine during water treatment with permanganate: reaction kinetics and pathways</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Desalination and Water Treatment</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Degradation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">kinetics</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mechanism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Permanganate</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zidovudine</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2016</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">FEB</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">57</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">24999-25010</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;The presence of the pharmaceutical substances in the water has been reported by many studies and has attracted attention across the world. The mechanistic insight into oxidation of antiretroviral drug zidovudine (ZDV) by potassium permanganate was investigated between the pH values 3.0 and 9.0. The pH-dependent second-order rate constants were determined and rate constants decreased with an increase in pH. The products of the reaction were identified by high-resolution mass spectrometry. A probable mechanism is proposed which involves the formation of an intermediate complex between permanganate and ZDV, which further undergoes degradation in subsequent fast steps to form various oxidized products. The different parameters like effect of initially added products, solvent polarity, ionic strength, temperature, and pH on the rate of the oxidative degradation of ZDV by permanganate were systematically studied. The various activation parameters were determined from the effect of variation in temperature on the oxidative degradation of ZDV by permanganate in acidic medium and discussed in detail.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">52</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.272</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kashyap, Varchaswal</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Anand, Aljo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Soni, Roby</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sreekumar, Kurungot</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Medium modulated oxygen reduction activity of Fe/Co active centre-engrafted electrocatalysts</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ChemElectroChem</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">active centers</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">half-wave potential</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mechanism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">oxygen reduction reaction</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">transition state</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2019</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JUN </style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2956-2964</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Iron and cobalt metal atoms are effective active centers for the synthesis of carbon-based noble-metal-free catalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) owing to their cost-effective intrinsic activity and tunable properties. Annealing of the active center with the conducting carbon enhances the ORR activity significantly. Herein, we have engrafted Fe and Co active centers in the homemade conducting carbon and the ORR performance has been closely observed under acidic and basic pH conditions to understand the influence of the medium and participating moieties towards the performance. In the half-cell reaction, the onset potential and half-wave potential for ORR are governed by the surface intermediates and concomitantly driven by the adsorption energies of the intermediates over the active centers. The iron and cobalt active center-engrafted carbon catalyst behaves differently in acidic and basic electrolytes owing to the dissociation of the surface intermediates. The iron-based catalyst shows improved onset potential against the cobalt-based one. Similarly, the cobalt-based catalyst shows improved half-wave potential against the iron active-center-grafted catalyst. The combined synergistic effect of the two catalysts is realized in the composition represented as Fe/2Co-N-GVC, where improved onset and half-wave potentials are noted in basic medium. A significant variation in the activity of the catalyst is observed as the medium changes from acidic to basic and the effect is directly associated with the surface adsorption of the intermediates.&lt;/p&gt;

	Iron-catalyzed dimerization of various isatin derivatives is described for the efficient synthesis of 3,3 `-biindolinylidene-diones (isoindigos). The reaction provides easy access to self-coupled and cross-coupled 3,3 `-indolinylidene-diones that have high relevance to biology and materials. This Fe(0)- or Fe(II)-catalyzed dimerization reaction tolerates a wide range of functionalities, such as fluoro, chloro, bromo, alkenyl, nitrile, ether, ester, pyrrolyl, indolyl and carbazolyl groups, including cyclic and acyclic alkyls as well as an alkyl-bearing fatty-alcohol moiety. Especially, the coupling between two distinct isatins provided excellent selectivity for the cross-dimerization with trace of self-couplings. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction study established the molecular structure of eight dimerized products. A preliminary mechanistic study of the Fe-catalyzed dimerization supported the radical pathway for the reaction.&lt;/p&gt;

In this study, a novel Pd-Al2O3 supported on activated biochar catalyst is developed for lignin hydrogenolysis. The catalyst characterization revealed that the (1 1 1) planes of both of Pd-0 and Al2O3 were exposed to the surface. The maximum lignin conversion of 70.4% along with high liquid yield (similar to 57 wt%) was obtained at 240 degrees C, 3 h and 3 MPa H-2 pressure. The total monomeric phenols yield in the liquid was 51.6 wt%, out of which C9 monomeric guaiacols constituted similar to 30.0 wt% with 38.0% selectivity to 4-propyl guaiacol. Using the reaction intermediate, coniferyl alcohol, chemoselective hydrogenation of C-alpha=C-beta is proved to occur over the Pd site, while dehydroxylation of C-gamma-OH is shown to occur over the alumina site. An impressive carbon atom economy of 60% was achieved for the production of monomeric phenols.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9.642</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pradhan, Chandini</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Punji, Benudhar</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Advances in the iron-catalyzed direct functionalizations of heterocycles</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Synlett</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alkylation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">azoles</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">C-H functionalization</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">heterocycles</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">indoles</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">iron</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mechanism</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2023</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">APR</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">34</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">683-697</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;
	Direct functionalization of heterocycles is an advanced strategy for diversifying privileged and biorelevant heterocycle-containing molecules. Particularly, use of the most abundant transition metal, iron, as a catalyst makes this process highly cost-effective and sustainable. Recently, some progress has been realized towards the direct functionalization of heterocycles under iron catalysis. Herein, we present the developments in the C-H bond functionalizations and related reactions of various heterocycles by abundant iron salts. This Synpacts is categorized into different sections based on heterocycles being functionalized, and each section is discussed based on the type of reaction catalyzed by iron. 1 Introduction 2 Functionalization of Indoles 2.1 Alkylation 2.2 Alkenylation 2.3 Other Reactions 3 Oxindoles and isatins 3.1 C-C Bond Formation 3.2 C-Heteroatom Bond Formation 4 Pyridines and Furans 5 Functionalization of Azoles 6 Summary and Outlook&lt;/p&gt;

	The use of readily accessible unactivated alkyl chlorides in the alkylation reaction to install valuable alkyl and methyl motifs into privileged heterocycles is an underdeveloped area. Herein, we report the regioselective C-H alkylation of diverse pyridones employing challenging unactivated alkyl chlorides as coupling partners, enabled by a strategically developed quinolinyl-based pincer (Ph2PNNQ)Ni(II) complex. The air-stable nickel catalyst is highly effective for the selective alkylation of functionalized 2-pyridones with both primary and secondary alkyl chlorides as well as for the unexpected C6 methylation, furnishing a wide range of 6-alkyl-2-pyridone scaffolds (78 examples). Remarkably, the alkyls bearing biologically and pharmacologically significant motifs, such as pterostilbene, nonyl phenol, sesamol, estrone, vitamin E, stigmasterol, cholesterol, and diosgenin, were compatible under this catalytic approach. The insights into the mechanism suggest that the alkylation reaction follows a Ni(II)/Ni(III)/Ni(IV) pathway involving the crucial two-step, one-electron oxidative addition of alkyl chloride. Several control studies, kinetics, and EPR analyses were performed to understand the detailed reaction pathway, further supported by density functional theory calculations.&lt;/p&gt;

	Palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of allyl alcohol to 3-butenoic acid has been investigated. A significant effect of halide promoters, p-tolylsulfonic acid (TsOH), water, solvents, and PPh3 concentration activity and selectivity has been studied. Detailed kinetics of this reaction was investigated in a temperature range of 363-383 K. The influence of parameters such as stirring speed, allyl alcohol, catalyst, benzyltriethylammonium chloride (BTEAC), TsOH concentrations, and CO partial pressures on the activity and selectivity has been studied. An empirical rate equation was suggested and found to be fairly consistent with observed rate data. In addition, the activation energy and kinetic parameters were evaluated.&lt;/p&gt;

The alkynylation reaction is enabled by a simple and inexpensive Ni(OTf)2/tBubpy catalyst system and uses easily accessible bromoalkynes. The protocol demonstrates a broad substrate scope with up to 95% yield (42 examples) and accommodates synthetically valuable functionalities, such as halides, trifluoromethyl, nitrile, ether, thioether, alkyl silanes, and alkene, as well as heteroarene moieties like pyridinyl, furanyl, and thiophenyl. The pyridinyl directing group on alkynylated 2-pyridones can be smoothly removed to give C6-alkynylated free NH-pyridone. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the alkynylation proceeds via a 2e- oxidative addition pathway involving crucial C &amp;amp; horbar;H activation.&lt;/p&gt;
