Halogenated phenylethynyl-substituted heterocycles that possess either an N-alkylamino or N,N-dialkylamino group attached to the heterocycle or halogenated phenylethynyl-substituted benzenes that a nitrogen-containing heterocycle attached to the benzene inhibit the proliferation cancer cells and are useful antineoplastic agents.

Anthropogenic activities contribute benzene, toluene, and anisole to the environment, which in the atmosphere are converted into the respective phenols, cresols, and methoxyphenols by fast gas-phase reaction with hydroxyl radicals (HO(•)). Further processing of the latter species by HO(•) decreases their vapor pressure as a second hydroxyl group is incorporated to accelerate their oxidative aging at interfaces and in aqueous particles. This work shows how catechol, pyrogallol, 3-methylcatechol, 4-methylcatechol, and 3-methoxycatechol (all proxies for oxygenated aromatics derived from benzene, toluene, and anisole) react at the air-water interface with increasing O3(g) during τc ≈ 1 μs contact time and contrasts their …
