Abstract A small collection of 1-aryl-3-arylamino-1-propanones having a phenolic moiety in their structure has been obtained by the replacement of the tertiary amino group in ketonic Mannich bases with (hetero)aromatic amines. The installment of the phenolic moiety took place either through the N-alkylation of 4-aminophenol with ketonic Mannich base hydrochlorides, or via amine exchange in ketonic Mannich bases derived from either 2′-hydroxyacetophenone or 4′-hydroxyacetophenone.

Abstract The effect of some selenium-containing compounds on the antioxidant properties of Allium sativum L. plants is shown in the present work. Pre-treatment of bulbs before planting and foliar treatment during plant growth with gibberellin solution (125 mg · L−1); potassium selenate (36 μg Se·L−1) and a new cobalt(III) coordinative compound (33 μg Se·L−1) resulted in the increase of the concentration of proline and assimilating pigments, reduced peroxide oxidation of lipids, enhanced antioxidant cell protection. The greatest effect was observed in plants pre-treated with the new coordinative compound, “Fludisec”, manifested by an increase of antioxidant properties of leaves and bulbs, optimization of growth process and productivity. X-ray analysis of monocrystal demonstrated that Fludisec is a coordination compound of ionic type tetrafluoroborate-[bis(dimethylglyoximato)-(selenocarbamide)1.4-(selenium-seleno-carbamide)0.5-(selenium-selenium)0.1cobalt(III)] with chemical formula [Co(DmgH)2(Seu)1,4(Se-Seu)0.5(Se-Se)0.1][BF4].

Abstract Mono and bis 4,5-dihydropyrano[3,2-c]chromene and 4,5- dihydropyrano[4,3-b]pyran derivatives were synthesized by three-component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile and 4-hydroxycoumarin or 4- hydroxy-6-methylpyrone, in the presence of catalytic amounts of sodium benzenesulfinates, as a organocatalyst, in H2O/EtOH, at reflux. High conversions, short reaction times, cleaner reaction profiles and usage of a stable and also inexpensive catalyst are some of the advantages of this method.

Abstract We report the mass spectrometric analysis of zeins extracted from degreased maize flour with either an aqueous 70% ethanol solution or 60% acetonitrile containing 10 mM dithiothreitol. The analysis was performed on a MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer using α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid as matrix. The method allowed the detection of α-, β- and γ-zeins, but not δ-zeins and was used for the analysis of zein content in the maize inbred KWS 3381 and in commercial flour at different flour particles sizes: between 710 μm and 1.0 mm, between 250 μm and 355 μm and smaller than 100 μm.

Abstract This brief review takes a look at flavonoids, a wide class of polyphenols, which are regarded as plant secondary metabolites. Their roles in plants are diverse and little understood. They can act as growth hormone modulators, phytoalexins, they offer UV protection, contribute to pollen viability and can function as signaling molecules in establishing symbiotic relationships. Flavonoids were also found to have a range of beneficial effects for the human body. Their anticancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and cardioprotective activity, as well as their antibacterial, antiviral and antihelmintic properties make them promising candidates for the design of new drugs.

Abstract KF/Al2O3 as a green and efficient catalyst has been used for synthesis of indolizine-1-carbonitrile derivatives. It can be proceeded by using 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of 1-alkyl-2-chloropyridinium bromides, malononitrile and benzaldehyde in ethanol, at reflux. The great advantage of this catalyst is the ease of handling. KF/Al2O3 can be used and removed by filtration, avoiding cumbersome aqueous workups and decreasing solvent waste handling issues. High conversions, short reaction times and a cleaner reaction profiles are some of the outstanding advantages of this method.
