The aim of the present study was to verify the activity of the Tri-N-Butyl Tin maleate compound against Staphylococcus aureus and Aspergillus niger, after its industrial application in 40 samples of carpets of different materials (polypropylene, polyester, polyamide and wool). The qualitative assays were performed through two methodologies: Inhibition Halo (HZ) and Inhibition of Surface (Print). The carpet with the product inhibited 100% of bacterial (Staphylococcus aureus) and fungi (Aspergillus niger) growth, under the conditions of this study. The microbial inhibition was higher in upper portion of carpets. The methodologies employed appear to be adequate to test the bactericide and fungicide activities of the Tri-N-Butyl Tin maleate. The print methodology confirmed the results obtained by the inhibition zone assay. Further studies using the same methodologies are needed to confirm our results.

The photochemistry of two Barton esters, one derived from a dioxolane carboxylic acid and the other from pivalic acid, was investigated by product analysis and nanosecond laser flash photolysis (LFP). As expected, photolysis of the pivalate ester resulted in formation of the pyridine-2-thiyl and the t-butyl radical. Photolysis of the Barton ester of 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-carboxylic acid, on the other hand, revealed a complex multi-step fragmentation.

In an earlier work we reported that treatment of precocene I with Brönsted and Lewis acids produces its oligomerization, giving dimers, trimers, tetramers, etc. Now, in this article we show that bromination of precocene I with phenyltrimethylammonium tribromide (PTT) blocks its oligomerization giving a dibromo- dimer, which was reduced with tri-n-butyl tin hydride affording the same dimer obtained in the reactions with acid, thus avoiding the oligomerization. Additionally, the oxidations of precocene I with Jones reagent afforded the corresponding 3-hydroxy-4-chromanone, 3,4-chromandione, 3,4-diacid, and two dimers.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores a method to incorporate short-lived (11)C-labelled methyl groups into heteroaromatic compounds, aiming to improve PET imaging of important biological systems.
  • Initial experiments using a specific catalytic system in DMF yielded low results, and adjustments, including increased phosphine ligand amounts and different copper systems, showed improvements but still struggled with certain basic heteroaromatic structures.
  • Switching to N-methyl-2-pyrolidinone (NMP) as a solvent and optimizing conditions resulted in over 80% yields for heteroaromatic compounds, showcasing the efficiency of this adjusted approach in synthesizing important PET tracers like methylpyridines. *
