Mononuclear heterocyclic rearrangements 5. Kinetic Investigation of the behaviour of (e)- and (z)-phenylhydrazones of 3-benzoyl-5-phenyl-1,2,4-oxadia…
1980
The kinetic behaviour of the geometrical isomers I-E and I-Z of the title compound in the presence of piperidine in benzene has been investigated. The kinetic results suggest that I-Z rearranges directly into 2,5-diphenyl-4-benzoylamino-1,2,3-triazole (II), whereas I-E probably rearranges only through the intermediate I-Z formed by isomerization. All the reactions studied are piperidine-catalyzed.
On the low-lying singlet excited states of styrene: a theoretical contribution
2000
The present contribution analyses the trans–cis photoisomerization mechanism of ethene and styrene on the singlet manifold. Within the framework of multiconfigurational second-order perturbation theory (CASPT2), the extended multistate approach (MS-CASPT2) is found to be flexible enough to describe energy hypersurfaces adiabatically. For ethene, torsion about the CC bond towards a perpendicular structure leads to a situation where the energy difference between the ground and the lowest excited state is still too large (2.5 eV) for efficient radiationless decay. However, the energy gap decreases to 0.4 eV when one of the methylene moieties is, in addition, pyramidalized from the twisted stru…
l-Arabinose Conformers Adsorption on Ruthenium Surfaces: A DFT Study
2012
Adsorption of 5 L-arabinose tautomers – one acyclic and four cyclic (α and β, pyranose and furanose) species – on a ruthenium surface was studied as a precursor-process of the, nowadays more and more, industrially important sugar catalytic hydrogenation on metal surfaces in water medium. The study was mostly referred to a 37-atom metal catalyst fragment, even though border-effects on the adsorption processes were also checked employing a 61-atom metal fragment. In order to figure out conformational effects on the title process the tautomer flexibility was, at first, investigated by the genetic-algorithm based code Balloon, considering the conformational spaces of the different aquo tautomer…
Palladium-based catalytic systems for the synthesis of conjugated enynes by Sonogashira reactions and related alkynylations
2007
Conjugated alkynes are recurring building blocks in natural products, a wide range of industrial intermediates, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, and molecular materials for optics and electronics. The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling between sp(2)-hybridized carbon atoms of aryl, heteroaryl, and vinyl halides with sp-hybridized carbon atoms of terminal acetylenes is one of the most important developments in the field of alkyne chemistry over the past 50 years. The seminal work of the 1970s has initiated an intense search for more general and reliable reaction conditions. The interest in the catalytic activation of demanding substrates, the need to minimize the consumption of depletive r…
The chemical composition of essential oil from Seseli tortuosum subsp. tortuosum and S. tortuosum subsp. maritimum (Apiaceae) aerial parts growing in…
2022
Seseli L. genus, belonging to the Apiaceae family, includes more than eighty taxa, mainly growing in Europe and Asia. Due to the several biological properties, species of this genus have been largely investigated, showing to be a rich source of coumarins, as well as, of essential oils with anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antifungal, cytotoxic, etc. properties. In the present study, the chemical composition of the essential oils from aerial parts of Sicilian accessions of Seseli tortuosum subsp. tortuosum and S. tortuosum subsp. maritimum were analysed by GC-MS. No one report has been previously published on the subsp. maritimum. The results showed the presence, in both oils, of large quantity…
Addressing Exposome: An Innovative Approach to Environmental Determinants in Pediatric Respiratory Health
2022
Developmental age is particularly vulnerable to impacts of environmental exposures. Until recent years, the field of environment and child health has predominantly relied on the study of single exposure–health effect relationships. The exposome is an emerging concept in epidemiology, encompassing the totality of the exposures experienced by an individual throughout life and their changes over time. This innovative approach provides a risk profile instead of individual predictors. Exposome research may contribute to better understand the complex relationships between environmental exposures and childhood respiratory health, in order to implement prevention strategies and mitigate adverse hea…

Evolutionary site-number changes of ribosomal DNA loci during speciation: complex scenarios of ancestral and more recent polyploid events.
2015
Genes encoding ribosomal RNA are universal key constituents of eukaryotic genomes, but the number of loci varies between species. We assessed the evolutionary trends in site-number changes of rDNA loci during speciation in a lineage of the cabbage family, characterized by complex scenarios of polyploidy. Our results suggest the existence of constrictions to burst loci amplification in the 5S rDNA family in polyploids and an overall trend to further reduce their number. The 45S rDNA site change in polyploids tells a different story, implying loci amplification in most of the polyploid entities.
