P(n)Bu(3)-catalyzed cyclization reactions of salicylaldimines and salicylaldehydes with ethyl 2,3-butadienoate gave the corresponding functionalized chromans in moderate to good yields in THF under mild conditions. The new reaction provides a new method for the synthesis of biologically active chroman products.

Several human diseases, in particular metabolic disorders, often lead to the accumulation of characteristic metabolites in plasma, urine and cells. The selected diseases of this type include cystinuria and homocystinuria. In the typical laboratory diagnosis of these two diseases, a

The coordination chemistry of the solvate complexes of the relatively soft electron-pair acceptor copper(I) has been studied in solution and solid state in seven solvents with strong electron-pair donor properties, liquid ammonia, trimethyl, triethyl, triisopropyl, tri-n-butyl and triphenyl phosphite, and

Liquid ammonia, trialkyl phosphites, and especially trialkylphosphines, are very powerful electron-pair donor solvents with soft bonding character. The solvent molecules act as strongly coordinating ligands towards mercury(ii), interacting strongly enough to displace halide ligands. In liquid ammonia mercury(ii) chloride solutions

A simple, sensitive and precise isocratic HPLC method for the determination of total homocysteine in human plasma is described. The thiol compounds were liberated from plasma proteins by reduction with tri-n-butylphosphine and derivatized with a thiol-specific fluorogenic marker, 7-fluoro-benzo-2-oxa-1,3-diazole-4-sulphonate.
