Application

  • Thallium(I) nitrate: Primarily used in the synthesis of other thallium compounds due to its reactivity and solubility. It finds applications in the production of special glasses where thallium improves the refractive index and density of the glass. Caution is advised in its use due to its high toxicity and potential environmental impact (Sigma-Aldrich, CAS 10102-45-1).

Thallium (Tl) is a highly toxic metal though yet its mechanisms are poorly understood. Previously, we demonstrated that rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells exposure to thallous (Tl(I)) or thallic (Tl(III)) cations leads to mitochondrial damage and reduced cell viability. In the

A diastereoselective route to (+)-bakkenolide A is presented from the readily available optically active Wieland-Miescher ketone. This novel synthesis of this sesquiterpene lactone features the following as key stereoselective transformations: (i) the ring contraction reaction of a octalone mediated by

It is known that permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane is low to most univalent cations (K(+), Na(+), H(+)) but high to Tl(+). Swelling, state 4, state 3, and 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP)-stimulated respiration as well as the membrane potential (DeltaPsi(mito)) of
