New azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane and -[3.3.1]nonane derivatives containing a pyridinyl substituent at the bridgehead position have been synthesized via an efficient ten chemical steps pathway. Both chemical series were then evaluated in vitro for their affinity at α7 nicotinic receptors revealing nanomolar

1,3,3a,7a-Tetrahydro-2-benzofuran was used as key compound for the synthesis of various bishomoinositol derivatives. The diene was subjected to an epoxidation reaction for further functionalization of the diene unit. The bisepoxide obtained was submitted to a ring-opening reaction with acid in

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have attracted attention recently due to their proven adverse effects on animals and their increasing concentrations in various environmental media and biota. To gain insight into the fate of PBDEs, microcosms established with soils and sediments

Sulfur-, selenium-, and nitrogen-containing compounds bearing leaving groups in the β-position undergo facile substitution chemistry enabled by anchimeric assistance. Here we provide direct comparisons between such systems in the rigid bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane framework easily derived from 1,5-cyclooctadiene. For a series of
We performed a cumulative risk assessment for people living in a hypothetical urban environment, called Urbania. The main aims of the study were to demonstrate how a cumulative risk assessment for a middle-sized European city can be performed and to
