Coordination properties of dehydroacetic acid – binary and ternary complexes

Oxidovanadium(IV) complexes involving dehydroacetic acid and β-diketones of bioinorganic and medicinal relevance: Their synthesis, characterization, thermal behavior and DFT aspects

“…The compound is widely used as food preservative [30,31]. b-Diketones are considered to be a class of very important ligands in the growth of coordination chemistry [32].…”

Mixed-ligand cobalt(II) complexes of bioinorganic and medicinal relevance, involving dehydroacetic acid and β-diketones: Their synthesis, hyphenated experimental-DFT, thermal and bactericidal facets

“…The compound is widely used as food preservative [25]. On the other hand, β-diketones are considered as a class of very important ligands in the growth of coordination chemistry [26]. They have played and continue to play a key role in synthesis of variety of coordination compounds that have found wide applications in several fields including material science [27,28] and have also been reported to act as catalysts [29], as precursors CVD in the microelectronic industry [30] and as potential antitumourals [31].…”

Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and antibacterial activities of three Schiff bases derived from dehydroacetic acid with various substituted anilines

“…All these reasons and facts [14,15] motivated us to synthesize and structurally characterize the Schiff bases of dehydroacetic acid ( Figure 1) with various substituted anilines (Figures 2-4) and also to check the biological activities of these compounds. Keeping in view the bactericidal and fungicidal properties of dehydroacetic acid [13], it is expected that its Schiff bases would have a high degree of activities. So, in the present study, series of three Schiff bases were synthesized by the reaction with dehydroacetic acid with a number of substituted anilines.…”

“…used to increase the stability of vitamin C and to protect vegetables during processing of food [12]. It is also used as preservatives in fish sausages [13]. All these reasons and facts [14,15] motivated us to synthesize and structurally characterize the Schiff bases of dehydroacetic acid ( Figure 1) with various substituted anilines (Figures 2-4) and also to check the biological activities of these compounds.…”

“…H and 13 C NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker 300 MHz NMR spectrometer in CDCl 3 solution at ambient temperature; the CDCl 3 signals were used to lock the field and all the chemical shifts (ppm) were assigned relative to tetramethylsilane (TMS); ). To this 2, 3-dichloroaniline (3.24 g, 0.02 mole) was added and the mixture was refluxed for 1 hour.…”
