Spectrochimica acta. Part A, Molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy, 65(5), 1035-1040 (2006-07-11)
Possibilities of linear-dichroic infrared (IR-LD) spectroscopy based on oriented solid samples as suspension in nematic liquid crystal have been applied for detailed experimental IR-band assignment and structural information of 2-[5,5-dimethyl-3-(2-phenyl-vinil)-cyclohex-2-enylidene]-malononitrile, 2-[5,5-dimethyl-3-[2-(2-methoxyphenyl)vinyl]cyclo-hex-2-enylidene]malononitrile and 2-[3-[2-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)vinyl]-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-enylidene]malononitrile. The data of last two compounds have

Diisophorone (1) was tested against two strains of the necrotrophic plant pathogen Botrytis cinerea. Fungal sensitivity varied according to the strain. B. cinera 2100 was more sensitive than B. cinereaUCA992: its mycelial growth was significantly inhibited at concentrations of 50

Journal of chromatography. A, 1155(1), 100-104 (2007-04-27)
A simple and sensitive method for the determination of isophorone in food samples was developed by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Isophorone was separated within 10 min by GC-MS using a DB-1 capillary column and

3 ketone solvents (methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), methyl isobutyl ketone (MiBK), and isophorone) were tested for potential genotoxicity. The assays of MEK and MiBK included the Salmonella/microsome (Ames) assay, L5178Y/TK+/- mouse lymphoma (ML) assay, BALB/3T3 cell transformation (CT) assay, unscheduled

Chemical communications (Cambridge, England), (8)(8), 984-985 (2004-04-08)
The sonochemical asymmetric hydrogenation of isophorone (3,3,5-trimethyl-2-cyclohexenone) by proline-modified Pd/Al2O3 catalysts is described; presonication of a commercial Pd/Al2O3-proline catalytic system resulted in highly enhanced enantioselectivities (up to 85% ee).
