Reactive oxygen species (ROS)

The crystal packing of the compound is described by an inter­molecular arrangement with the mol­ecules as inter­laced layers in a zigzag fashion, denoting inter­acting self-complementary dimers mainly by the localization of weak hydrogen bonds in a head-to-tail arrangement.

Dehydrohalogenation of 1,4‐dihalobenzenes and 1,2,4‐trichlorobenzene is performed using n‐BuLi to form benzynes. These benzynes are used as dienophiles in a Diels–Alder reaction with the dienes furan and 2,5‐dimethylfuran to prepare new benzonorbornadiene derivatives. The cycloadducts of furan are polymerized by a ring‐opening metathesis reaction using a Hoveyda–Grubbs ruthenium catalyst. The polymers are characterized by 1H NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), and unambiguous proton chemical shift assignments are based on the multiplicity pattern of proton resonances. This is confirmed by 2D NMR data from HSQC(Heteronuclear Single Quantum Coherence) and COSY (Correlation Spectroscopy) spectra. The polybenzonorbornadienes have both cis and trans conformation in their chemical structure. The trans conformation is qualitatively in greater proportion observed at 1H NMR experiments. These materials may have syndiotactic microstructure by the lack of correlations in COSY.

The patch-clamp technique was designed to measure any electrogenic transport across the whole cell and organelle (vacuolar) membranes and excised membrane patches. Here, we describe preparation of protoplasts and vacuoles, as well as patch-clamp assays, to detect the functional expression of K(+) and cation channels of plasma membrane and tonoplast, as well as plasma membrane anion channels and vacuolar and plasma membrane H(+) pumps. All of these contribute to the intracellular ionic homeostasis under saline conditions.
