New Water-Soluble Poly(propylene imine) Dendrimer Modified with 4-Sulfo-1,8-naphthalimide Units: Sensing Properties and Logic Gates Mimicking.

A new water-soluble poly(propylene imine) dendrimer (PPI) modified with 4-sulfo-1,8-naphthalimid units () and its related structure monomer analog () has been prepared by a simple synthesis. The aqueous solution of the monomer exhibited aggregation-induced emission (AIE) at 395 nm, while the dendrimer emitted at 470 nm due to an excimer formation beside the AIE at 395 nm. Fluorescence emission of the aqueous solution of either or was significantly affected by traces of different miscible organic solvents, and the limits of detection were found to be less than 0.

Angular Regioselective Synthesis of Varied Functionalized Hexahydro-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-]quinazolin-9-ones and Their Antiproliferative Action.

New 2-thioxopyrimidin-4-ones capable of participating in regioselective reactions with functionally diverse hydrazonoyl chlorides towards angular regioisomers, rather than linear ones, were designed and synthesized to form stereoisomeric - and -hexahydro [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-]quinazolin-9-ones to be tested as antitumor candidates. The angular regiochemistry of the products was verified through crystallographic experiments and NMR studies. In addition, the regioselectivity of the reaction was found to be independent of the stereochemistry of the used 2-thioxopyrimidin-4-one.

In the title compound, CHNO, the two fused five-membered rings and their N-bound aromatic substituents form a pincer-like motif. The relative conformations about the three chiral carbon atoms are established. In the crystal, a combination of C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π(ring) inter-actions leads to the formation of layers parallel to the plane.

Angular Regioselectivity in the Reactions of 2-Thioxopyrimidin-4-ones and Hydrazonoyl Chlorides: Synthesis of Novel Stereoisomeric Octahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-]quinazolin-5-ones.

The regioselective synthesis of and stereoisomers of variously functionalized octahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-]quinazolin-5-ones was performed. The 2-thioxopyrimidin-4-ones used in the synthesis reacted with hydrazonoyl chlorides in a regioselective manner to produce the angular regioisomers [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-]quinazolin-5-ones rather than the linear isomers [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-]quinazolin-5-ones. The synthesis process took place with electronic control.

Retro Diels Alder protocol for regioselective synthesis of novel [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-]pyrimidin-7(1)-ones.

Reactions of diastereochemically varied norbornene-condensed 2-thioxopyrimidin-4-ones 6 and 10 with variously functionalized hydrazonoyl chlorides 2a-h gave regioselectively angular norbornene-based [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-]pyrimidin-7(1)-ones 7a-h and 11a,c-e, respectively. Thermal retro Diels-Alder (RDA) reaction of 7a-h and 11a,c-e resulted in the target compounds 4a-h as single products. On the other hand, reactions of thiouracil 1 and hydrozonoyl chlorides 2a-e gave regioselectively [1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-]pyrimidinone-5(1)-ones 3a-e.

Diastereoselective synthesis of atropisomeric pyrazolyl pyrrolo[3,4-]isoxazolidines pyrazolyl nitrone cycloaddition to facially divergent maleimides: intensive NMR and DFT studies.

A pyrazolyl nitrone (2) underwent 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions to afford some -substituted maleimides (3a-o). An atropisomeric character was introduced into the formed cycloadducts by using maleimides that have a restricted rotation around the C-N bond. Also, facial selectivity of both and cycloaddition was observed where the major atropisomer was one that is formed by attacking the nitrone from the less hindered face of the dipolarophile.

A chemosensoring molecular lab for various analytes and its ability to execute a molecular logical digital comparator.

We reported here the unique ability of a Rhodamine 6G-based probe (3) to detect discriminately several targets, including H, HO, Cu, Hg, Fe, Co, Cd, Zn, Sn, Ni, Al, Pb, Ceand Ag, by unambiguously colorimetric and fluorimetric outcomes. In aqueous solutions, the presence of proton induced the ring-opening of rhodamine moiety but the presence of hydroxide induced the conversion of 2-hydroxyphenyl hydrazone moiety from the non-fluorescent benzenoid form into the fluorescent quinoid form. The probe could to distinguish between different cations in DMF and to work like an artificial tongue at molecular level.

Sarcoidosis Presenting as a Right Paraesophageal Mass Abutting the Left Atrium.

We herein report a unique case of sarcoidosis in a 44-year-old Caucasian female. The patient was initially evaluated for hematochezia and diagnosed with diverticulitis after computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and pelvis. This imaging also incidentally showed a large mass abutting the esophagus.

Painful Penile Plaques: A Rare Case Report of Rectal Adenocarcinoma with Cutaneous Metastasis to the Penis.

Despite the rich vascularization of the penis and its close proximity to other pelvic organs, cutaneous manifestations of metastatic disease to the penis are an uncommon occurrence. Penile lesions suspected for malignancy should alert clinicians to differentiate between primary and secondary tumors. While the majority of metastatic malignancies arise from the genitourinary tract, we present a unique case report of a 51-year-old male with penile metastasis of primary rectal adenocarcinoma.

A circular economy use of recovered sludge cellulose in wood plastic composite production: Recycling and eco-efficiency assessment.

This paper presents a novel development of sludge cellulose plastic composite (SPC) in line with the circular economy concept by using recovered sludge cellulose from wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). Bearing the aim of replacing the wood in wood plastic composite (WPC) with sludge cellulose, WPC was developed in parallel for determining the substitution potentials. In order to maximise the integration of properties, maleic anhydride (MA) and vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) coupling agents were employed to refine the interfacial bonding of both SPC and WPC.
