Article Synopsis
- The molecule CHFO was created using a Claisen-Schmidt condensation involving 4-fluoro-benzaldehyde and 4'-ethoxy-acetophenone.
- The torsion angles between its components are very small, indicating a relatively planar structure, with the largest torsion being between bonds in the 2-propen-1-one unit at 12.0°.
- The stability of the crystal structure arises from various interactions, including hydrogen bonding, π-π stacking, and H-π interactions.
Aryl sulfoxides have been identified as a class of organic compounds capable of inducing DNA cleavage in the presence of UV light. Phenyl sulfoxide and methyl phenyl sulfoxide were both shown to cleave pBR322 DNA at concentrations of 180 and 360 microM, respectively. Radical trapping studies indicate carbon-centered radicals are the active cleavage species.
