Characteristics and outcomes of family-practice patients with coronavirus disease 2019: a case series.

Background: The clinical history and outcomes of coronavirus disease 2019 among people not hospitalized is not yet well characterized. To better inform clinical evaluation, we set out to characterize the natural history of coronavirus disease 2019 in primary health care.

Methods: Case series of all patients rostered to physicians at a university-affiliated Family Medicine clinic.

Biofilm inhibition and anti-Candida activity of a cationic lipo-benzamide molecule with twin-nonyl chain.

A series of cationic lipo-benzamide compounds with varying lengths of hydrocarbon chains (C2M-C18M) were evaluated for anti-Candida activity. Four compounds harbouring 8-11 hydrocarbon chains demonstrated concentration-dependent inhibition of fungal cell growth with Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of ≤6.2 µg ml.

Benzimidazoles from Aryl Alkyl Ketones and 2-Amino Anilines by an Iodine Catalyzed Oxidative C(CO)-C(alkyl) Bond Cleavage.

Novel molecular iodine catalyzed cyclization reactions of 2-amino anilines with aryl alkyl ketones under oxidant and metal-free conditions are described. The reaction likely involves sequential C-N bond formation followed by C(CO)-C(alkyl) bond cleavage. Various 2-substituted benzimidazoles are obtained in moderate to good yields in a single step from readily available acetophenones, propiophenones, and phenylacetophenones.

Copper catalyzed oxygen assisted C(CNOH)-C(alkyl) bond cleavage: a facile conversion of aryl/aralkyl/vinyl ketones to aromatic acids.

A novel copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative C(NOH)-C(alkyl) bond cleavage reaction of aryl/aralkyl/vinyl ketones for the synthesis of aromatic/acrylic acids is described. A series of ketones having aryl/aralkyl/vinyl at the one end and methyl to any higher alkyl at the other end can be selectively cleaved and converted into the corresponding acids via oxime intermediates.
