Salvia officinalis (Lamiaceae) has been used in south of Brazil as a diary homemade, food condiment and tea-beverage for the treatment several disorders. The objective this study was to characterize chemical compounds hydroalcoholic (ExtHS) aqueous (ExtAS) extract from (L.) by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) high-resolution electrospray ionization mass (ESI-QTOF MS/MS), evaluate vitro ability scavenge free radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•)...
The increased demand for pesticide-free foods has also the search healthier and environmentally friendly alternatives in agriculture. Essential oils are known to possess natural antifungal properties, becoming a reliable alternative commercial fungicides, especially postharvest decay control. However, essential volatile photodegradable, which reduces their long-term activities. This work presents development of lemongrass oil-containing poly(lactic acid) nanocapsules. They have shown vitro...
Most studies of Brazilian red propolis have explored the composition and biological properties its ethanolic extracts. In this work, we chemically extracted characterized essential oil (EOP) assessed adjuvant, antiparasitic cytotoxic activities. The chemical EOP was analyzed using gas chromatography with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). tested for in vitro activity against Trichomonas vaginalis (ATCC 30236 isolate); trophozoites were treated different concentrations (ranging from 25 to 500 μg/mL)...
A simple and efficient method for the synthesis of 4‑organoselanyl-1H-pyrazoles has been developed, taking place under metal- halogen-free conditions. Electrophilic species selenium were easily generated in situ by reaction diorganyl diselenides with Oxone® ethanol as solvent an open-flask at 70 °C. These electrophilic employed selenylation/cyclization α,β-alkynyl hydrazones, giving title compounds moderate to excellent yields. The final obtained from diphenyl diselenide characterized 77Se...
We report here an alternative and tunable metal-free synthesis of benzo[<italic>b</italic>]chalcogenophenes <italic>via</italic> the electrophilic cyclization 2-functionalized chalcogenoalkynes promoted by Oxone®.
A method has been developed for the Pd-catalyzed synthesis of α-(hetero)aryl esters and amides through a Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction. This avoids use strong base, does not necessitate inert or low temperature formation reagents, require large excess organometallic reagent. Utilization organotrifluoroborate salts as nucleophilic partners allows variety functional groups heterocyclic compounds to be tolerated.
Abstract We describe here for the first time synthesis of isochromenones fused to selenophenes. 5 H ‐Selenopheno[3,2‐ c ]isochromen‐5‐ones were obtained through a double intramolecular cyclization methyl 2‐(organyl‐1,3‐diynyl)benzoate promoted by electrophilic species selenium generated in situ reaction dialkyl diselenides with Oxone®, using ethanol as solvent. The reactions conducted satisfactorily under mild conditions, range 1,3‐diynes and substrates. A total sixteen unprecedent...
A new method was developed for the synthesis of 4-chalcogenyl-1H-isochromen-1-ones through 6-endo-dig electrophilic cyclization 2-alkynylaryl esters and diorganyl dichalcogenides under ultrasound irradiation. The reactions were performed mild conditions, using Oxone as a green oxidant to promote cleavage chalcogen–chalcogen bond in diselenides ditellurides generate species situ. total 25 compounds selectively obtained after 30–70 min, good excellent yields (74–95%). This procedure extended...
This paper describes an alternative method for the synthesis of 3‐organoselanylbenzo[ b ]furans through intramolecular cyclization 2‐alkynylphenols promoted by copper iodide and diorganyl diselenides. The reactions were carried out at room temperature in absence base under air (open flask). synthetic approach proved to be efficient with both diselenides bearing electron‐neutral, electron‐donating, electron‐withdrawing substituents. 2‐Phenyl‐3‐phenylselanylbenzo[ ]furan was used as a...
