1. eCombiChem
Registration and Poster Submissions are invited for an international web conference (starting Sept 20) focusing on key research, applications, technologies and strategies associated with and integrated into Combinatorial Chemistry and High Throughput Synthesis. Please direct any enquiries to ecombichem@douglasconnect.com. Full program information and abstracts can be found at: 2. Molecules of the Month (August 2004) Nitric Acid: used to synthesize nitrate compounds such as fertilizers and as a cleaner and passivator (anti-corrosion agent) for stainless steel. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP): the "energy storage molecules" of cells. Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT): used to prevent fats and oils in foods, cosmetics, or pharmaceuticals from becoming rancid through oxidation. Hydroxyproline: a major component of collagen, the protein that strengthens ligaments and tendons and provides skin elasticity. Phenylethylamine: neuroamine found in chocolate, is mostly metabolized before it reaches the central nervous system. Trimethylamine: The cause of 'fish breath' in some people. http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/MOTM/motm.htm Oleoyl estrone (OE): class of selective CB1 receptor antagonists, is envisioned as an eventual cornerstone in the management of patients with cardiovascular risk factors. http://www.prous.com/mom/mom.asp 3. Upcoming Organic Synthesis Conferences (September 2004) 5th International Symposium on Transition Metals in Organic Synthesis Solid State Chemistry 2004 (SSC 2004) 21th European Colloquium on Heterocyclic Chemistry A Celebration of Organic Chemistry
Chemical Entities of Biological Interest (ChEBI) is a freely available dictionary of ‘small molecular entities’. It includes compounds that are either products of nature or synthetic products used to intervene in the processes of living organisms (either on purpose, as for drugs, or by accident, as for chemicals in the environment) but not molecular entities directly encoded by the genome such as nucleic acids, proteins and peptides derived from proteins by cleavage. http://www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi/5. Modern Aldol Reactions, 2 Volume Set
Covers the complete spectrum of the aldol reaction (e.g. Mukaiyama, Henry, Ene and Aldol-Tishchenko reactions) Book details |
