This study describes a simple multigram-scale procedure for the preparation of (E)-N-(1,7,7- trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ylidene)nitramide, nitro-imine 2, by using both classical methods and ultrasound irradiation from 1 utilizing Camphor, a natural product, as starting material. This key intermediate 2, a good building block, is useful to prepare various substances such as terpenoids, reagents for large-scale hydroxylation Read More

Chemical modification of pyridazinone may lead to a potent therapeutic agent. In this study, biological properties of pyridazinone derivatives were evaluated by assessing their antimicrobial and in-vitro antioxidant activities. The reaction of a mucochloric acid and 3-chloro-phenylhydrazine hydrochloride led to the formation of 5-aryl-4-chloro-2-(3-chloro-phenyl)-2H-pyridazin-3-one derivatives 2(a-j). The target compounds w Read More

Novel phosphorus compounds bearing fluorine substituted 1,2,4-triazolo[3,2-c][1,2,4]triazine derivatives have been synthesized, starting from ring closure reactions of 3-hydrazino-4-(4'- fluorophenyl)-5-(prydin-4'-yl)-1,2,4-trizole (4) with 1,2-bioxygen compounds followed by the treatment with functional phosphorus compounds. The new systems obtained were evaluated as molluscicidal targets against some snails. Structures o Read More

Twelve new 1,2,4-triazole Schiff bases bearing a fluorinated indole ring were successfully synthesized. The 1,2,4-triazole Schiff bases were synthesized from the condensation reaction of 4-amino-5-mercapto-3-[(5-fluoro-2-methyl-1H-indol-3-yl)methyl]-1,2,4-triazole with a series of benzaldehyde derivatives in the presence of (+)-tartaric acid as the catalyst. The structures of Schiff bases were elucidated by FTIR, NM Read More

Various types of isatin derivatives were synthesized by reacting isatin with different reagents viz substituted acetophenones, sodium nitrate, hydroxylamine hydrochloride and hydrazine hydrate. Characterization of the synthesized compounds was done by using various spectral techniques such as IR, 1HNMR, 13CNMR, elemental analysis and mass spectrometry. Synthesized compounds were further evaluated for their antifu Read More

A phytochemical investigation of the leaves of Annona reticulata led to the isolation and structural determination of β-sitosterol (1), ent-pimara-8(14),15-dien-19-oic acid (2), ent-pimara- 8(14),15-dien-19-ol (3), quercetin (4), quercetin 3-O-α-L-arabinopyranoside (5), and a mixture of quercetin 3-O-β-D-galactopyranoside (6a) and quercetin 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (6b). Of these, compounds 2 and 3 were isolated fro Read More

The Friedlander reaction is the most commonly used method to synthesis substituted quinolines, the essential intermediates in the medicine industry. A facile one-pot approach for synthesizing substituted quinolines by the reaction of isoxazoles, ammonium formate-Pd/C, concentrated sulfuric acid, methanol and ketones using Friedlander reaction conditions is reported. Procedures for the synthesis of quinoline derivativ Read More

Cancer is one of the major causes of mortality all around the world. Globally, nearly 1 in 6 deaths is due to cancer. Researchers are trying to synthesize new anticancer agents. Previous studies demonstrated that some pyrazole derivatives could be considered as potential anticancer agents. Herein, ten novel derivatives of 1,5-diarylpyrazole were synthesized in four step reactions and cytotoxic activity was investigated Read More

The pyrolysis of methyl alkyl esters I to III and dithioesters IV to VI were theoretically calculated. All possible pyrolysis paths were considered. Both esters and dithioesters presented three potential paths via six-, four- and five-membered ring transition states, respectively. The calculation processes were calculated using MP2/6-31G(d) set. In-depth theoretical analyses were also presented, including NBO related analyses, s Read More

A new procedure for the highly regioselective aerobic bromination of aromatic compounds in the presence of copper-based nanoparticles (CuO/ZnO nanocatalyst) under reflux condition is described. Mechanistic parameters are discussed and the plausible mechanism is proposed. Recyclability of the CuO/ZnO nanocatalyst has also been explored upon aerobic bromination of aromatic compounds.

A simple and green method for the synthesis of 1,5-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]chromene derivatives has been reported by three-component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile, and 3-hydroxycoumarin in the presence of a series of novel crown ether-based ionic liquids (CE-based ILs) in H2O/EtOH (1:1), under the reflux conditions. The novel CE-based ILs have been synthesized by 18-crown-6 or dibenzo 18-crown-6 chelat Read More
