In this paper, we summarize this second symposium’s goals and highlights.Assessment of the mechanical properties of structural steels characterizing their strength and deformation parameters is an essential problem in the monitoring of structures that have been in operation for quite a long time. The properties of steel can change under the…[Read more]

The benzylidene acetal group is one of the most important protecting groups not only in carbohydrate chemistry but also in general organic chemistry. In the case of 4,6-O-benzylidene glycosides, we previously found that the stereochemistry at 4-position altered the reaction rate constant for hydrolysis of benzylidene acetal group. However, a…[Read more]

Background and objective Due to the well-documented anti-proliferative activity of 2-thiohydantoin incorporated with pyrazole, oxadiazole, quinazoline, urea, β‑naphthyl carbamate and Schiff bases they are noteworthy in pharmaceutical chemistry. Methods An efficient approach for the synthesis of a novel series of 2-thiohydantoin derivatives in…[Read more]
