Usage

General Description

2-(2-Methylphenyl)-benzenemethanol is a relatively complex organic compound, a chemical structure typical to aromatic alcohols. It contains two phenyl units, one of which is substituted with a methyl group, essentially a side chain containing a single carbon atom. The other phenyl ring is attached to a methanol unit, which consists of a carbon atom linked to an alcohol (-OH) group. Its structure suggests that it might possess unique and essential properties such as thermal stability and resistance to oxidation, commonly found in aromatic compounds. However, more specific information about its properties, uses, or potential health effects is not readily available, indicating it may not yet be widely used or studied.

Intramolecular Acylation of Unactivated Pyridines or Arenes via Multiple C-H Functionalizations: Synthesis of All Four Azafluorenones and Fluorenones

An unprecedented intramolecular acylation of unactivated pyridines via multiple C(sp3/sp2)-H functionalizations of a methyl, hydroxymethyl, or aldehyde group has been developed providing a general access to all four azafluorenones. The application of this protocol is further demonstrated to the synthesis of azafluorenone related fused nitrogen heterocycles and fluorenones. In addition, design and synthesis of a novel fluorene based organic emitter for potential use in organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) is also reported.

Inhibition of nucleoside transport by new analogues of 4- nitrobenzylthioinosine: Replacement of the ribose moiety by substituted benzyl groups

4-Nitrobenzylthioinosine (NBTI, 1) is a well-known inhibitor for the nucleoside transport protein ENT1. However, its highly polar nature is unfavorable for oral absorption and/or penetration into the CNS. In the search for compounds with lower polarity th
