  2. Isostere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isostere

    The isostere concept was formulated by Irving Langmuir in 1919, [3] and later modified by Grimm. Hans Erlenmeyer extended the concept to biological systems in 1932. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] Classical isosteres are defined as being atoms, ions and molecules that had identical outer shells of electrons, This definition has now been broadened to include ...

  3. Furan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furan

    The name "furan" comes from the Latin furfur, which means bran [5] (furfural is produced from bran). The first furan derivative to be described was 2-furoic acid, by Carl Wilhelm Scheele in 1780. Another important derivative, furfural, was reported by Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner in 1831 and characterised nine years later by John Stenhouse.

  4. Furan fatty acids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furan_fatty_acids

    Furan fatty acids are a group of fatty acids that contain a furan ring. To this furan ring, an unbranched carboxylic acid and, at another position, an alkyl residue are attached. Natural furan fatty acids are mono- or di-methylated on the furan ring. [1] Furan fatty acids can be found in a variety of plant and animal species.

  5. Bioisostere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioisostere

    Procainamide is a classical bioisostere because the valence electron structure of a disubstituted oxygen atom is the same as a trisubstituted nitrogen atom, as Langmuir showed. Another example is seen in a series of anti-bacterial chalcones. By modifying certain substituents, the pharmacological activity of the chalcone and its toxicity are ...

  6. Heterocyclic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterocyclic_compound

    A heterocyclic compound or ring structure is a cyclic compound that has atoms of at least two different elements as members of its ring(s). [1] Heterocyclic organic chemistry is the branch of organic chemistry dealing with the synthesis, properties, and applications of organic heterocycles .

  7. Aromatic compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aromatic_compound

    Heteroarenes are aromatic compounds, where at least one methine or vinylene (-C= or -CH=CH-) group is replaced by a heteroatom: oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur. [3] Examples of non-benzene compounds with aromatic properties are furan, a heterocyclic compound with a five-membered ring that includes a single oxygen atom, and pyridine, a heterocyclic compound with a six-membered ring containing one ...

  8. Furfural - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furfural

    Furfural is used to make other furan derivatives, such as furoic acid, via oxidation, [30] and furan itself via palladium catalyzed vapor phase decarbonylation. [ 4 ] There is a good market for value added chemicals that can be obtained from furfural.

  9. Bromous acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromous_acid

    From numbers of equivalent portions of acid bromine formed from the previous reaction, the ratio between oxygen and bromine was calculated, with the exact value of O:Br (0.149975:0.3745), suggesting the acid compound contains two oxygen atom to one bromine atom. Thus, the chemical structure of the acid compound was deducted as HBrO 2. [2]
