TL;DR: The general structure-activity relationships of tested benzimidazoles 3-7 were determined and the antiMicrobiol activities of the above compounds were screened against different strains of bacteria and fungi.

TL;DR: In this article, the steric proximity, dCH, of transferring H atoms to receptor sp2 carbons in the reaction zone cavity together with M M-calculated π-energy differences between dyotropomers can rationalise the large rate enhancement observed for the pentacyclic triene 17 compared with 5 and its analogues.

TL;DR: Differential kinetic behavior in thermal dyotropic rearrangement of compounds containing a cyclohexa-1,3-diene ring as 2H donor held proximate to a variously-substituted norbornene element as acceptor is discussed in terms of parameters derived by single crystal X-ray structure analysis and Molecular Mechanics calculations as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect on reaction rate for thermal intramolecular dyotropy exhibited for a series of trienes, 1-4 and pyrazolines 6-9 having identical structural elements proximate to the 2 H receptor π-bond was discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 1:1 ratio was shown for a rare type of specific diene capture by TCTD, which is best understood in terms of normal [4+2]π cycloadditions to 8 as dienophile towards electron-deficient TCCD, followed by rapid Cope rearrangement of the SO2-bridged intermediate adducts to give the observed products.
