https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_7439-98-7.htm The global energy demand requires high energy conversion and storage devices. In order to enhance the utility of these devices, highly efficient, stable and cost effective catalyst and electrode materials are required. In the present study, the nano-size single phase molybdenum disulphide (MoS 2 ) has been synthesized at 700 °C via reduction-sulphurization method in a specially designed autoclave. The UV–Visible and photoluminescence results are in accordance with the Raman spectroscopy studies, confirming few layers (5–6 layers) of synthesized MoS 2  exhibiting a band gap of 2.29 eV. Based on structural and morphological results, the formation mechanism from MoO 3  to MoS 2  is proposed. The as-synthesized samples are expected to be promising stable catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) through water splitting in both acidic and basic medium. The cyclic voltammetry (CV) test for 1000 cycles in basic medium shows...

https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_100-13-0.htm  Arylhydroxamic acid N,O-acyltransferase (AHAT) is an enzyme system that is capable of converting many N-arylhydroxamic acids into reactive electrophilic species. As part of an investigation into the influence of the structure of the aryl group upon the ability of N-arylhydroxamic acids to serve as substrates for AHAT, a series of N-hydroxy-N-(4-alkyl-, 4-alkenyl-, and 4-cyclohexylphenyl) acetamides was prepared and evaluated in vitro with partially purified rat and hamster hepatic AHAT. The nature of the 4-substituent markedly influenced the ability of the hydroxamic acids to serve as acetyl donors in the AHAT-catalyzed transacetylation of 4-aminoazobenzene (AAB). As the length of the 4-substituent was increased from methyl to pentyl, the compounds became increasingly more effective substrates. The compounds containing vinyl, propenyl, and 2-methylpropenyl 4-substituents were more effective acetyl donors than the corresponding comp...

https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_1008-76-0.htm On the basis of the benz[d]indolo[2,3-g]azecine derivative 1 (LE300), structure-activity relations were investigated in order to identify the pharmacophore in this new class of ligands. Various structural modifications were performed and the inhibitory activities at human cloned D 1 , D 2L , and D 5  receptors were measured by using a simple fluorescence microplate reader based calcium assay. Subsequently, the affinities of active compounds were estimated by radioligand binding experiments, Deleting one of the aromatic rings as well as replacing it by a phenyl moiety abolishes the inhibitory activities almost completely. Contraction of the 10-membered central ring decreases them significantly. The replacement of indole by thiophene or N-methylpyrrole reduces the inhibitory activity, whereas replacing the indole by benzene increases it. Finally, the hydroxylated dibenz[d,g]azecine derivative 11d (LE404) was found to be more active t...

https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_1012-72-2.htm Photolysis of the Diels-Alder adduct of 3,6-di-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinone and cyclobutadiene at ice-bath temperatures afforded the bicyclooctatriene 12.During warming to room temperature, this hydrocarbon underwent kinetically first-order valence isomerization to provide 5 and its bond shift isomer 4.This finding adumbrated the facility with which 4 and 5 are interconverted.Reaction of this cyclooctatetraene mixture with N-methyltriazolinedione gave urazoles 16 and 17 as chromatographically separable entities.Like 13, the related cycloadduct of 12 wherein both bridgehead tert-butyl groups exhibit restricted rotation , the angular tert-butyl substituent in 17 is sterically perturbed.Hydrolysis-oxidation of either 16 or 17 returned only mixtures of 4 and 5 because of their rapid bond shifting rates.When the equilibrium constant between these two isomers was determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy, it was found that 5, the apparently more conges...

https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_732-26-3.htm Flash vacuum pyrolysis (FVP) of sulfoxides containing β-hydrogen atoms affords sulfenic acids (RSOH) in good concentration under conditions where they are stable.The application of this technique to the synthesis and study of sterically hindered sulfenic acids 12a-e is described.The principal or primary reaction of simple sulfenic acids prepared in this manner is dehydration to thiosulfinates 13 (eq 1).Steric inhibition to dehydration (eq 1) appears to only be of importance for 2-methyl-2-propanesulfenic acid (12a) which was trapped in good yield with methyl propiolate to afford 16a. 2,4,6-Tri-tert-butylbenzenesulfenic acid (12e) appears to be destabilized as a consequence of interaction between the SOH and adjacent tert-butyl groups.In the pyrolysis section of the apparatus, 12e decomposes to phenol 21 and aryl radical 22, which reacts further.Thermolysis of sulfoxides generates the sulfenic acids 12a-e in very low concentration at any...

 https://www.lookchem.com/CASDataBase_1020-31-1.htm Some differences were observed in the solid- and liquid-phase benzylic oxidation of 2-(hydroxy- or dialkylamino)methyl-4,6-di-tert-butylphenols.Oxidation of these semi-hindered phenols with lead tetraacetate gave a new compound: 3,5-di-tert-butyl-ortho-benzoquinone diacylal.Keywords: semi-hindered phenols, synthesis, aldehyde, benzylic alcohol, oxidation, liquid phase, solid phase.
