Synthesis of O‐β‐D‐Glucopyranosides of 7‐Hydroxy‐3‐(imidazol‐2‐yl)‐4H‐chromen‐4‐ones

The 7‐hydroxy‐3‐formyl‐4H‐chromen‐4‐one 1 reacted with various cyclic 1,2‐dicarbonyl compounds in the presence of ammonium acetate to furnish 7‐hydroxy‐3‐([4,5‐fused] imidazol‐2‐yl)‐4H‐chromen‐4‐ones 2a–f, which on glucosylation with α‐acetobromoglucose affords 2,3,4,6‐tetra‐O‐acetyl‐β‐D‐glucopyranosyloxy‐3‐([4,5‐fused] imidazol‐2‐yl)‐4H‐chromen‐4‐ones 3a–f. 7‐O‐β‐D‐Glucopyranosyloxy‐3‐([4,5‐fused] imidazol‐2‐yl)‐4H‐chromen‐4‐ones 4a–f were prepared by deacetylation with anhydrous zinc acetate in absolute methanol. The structure of these new O‐β‐D‐glucosides was established on the basis of chemical, elemental, and spectral analysis. These compounds were evaluated for their in vitro biological activity.

Spectrophotometric Determination of Nitrite in Water Samples with 4‐(1‐Methyl‐1‐Mesitylcyclobutane‐3‐yl)‐2‐Aminothiazole

Abstract

A simple, sensitive, and specific spectrophotometric method for the measurement of nitrite in water has been developed and optimum reaction conditions along with other analytical parameters have been evaluated. The azo dye, 4‐(1‐methyl‐1‐mesitylcylobutane‐3‐yl)‐2‐(p‐N,N‐dimethylazobenzene)‐1,3‐thiazole was synthesized with the reaction of 4‐(1‐methyl‐1‐mesitylcylobutane‐3‐yl)‐2‐aminothiazole and N,N‐dimethyl aniline in acidic medium. Obtained azo dye has been characterized by infrared (IR), ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and microanalysis methods. The dye shows an absorption maximum at 482 nm. The method is optimized for acid concentration, pH, amount of reagents required, time, and interfering species. All the determinations were carried out at this wavelength throughout the work. At an analytical wavelength of 482 nm, Beer's law is obeyed over the concentration range 0.05 to 2.00 µg nitrite per mL analyte. The molar absorptivity, Sandell's sensitivity, and relative standard deviation are 2.03×10⁴ L mol^?1 cm^?1±251.3 (95%), 2.28×10^?3 µg cm^?2, and 2.74% (n=10), respectively. The detection limit of the method is 0.012 µg ml^?1 of nitrite ion. The method was succesfully applied to the determination of nitrite in tap water and lake water.

Abstract

We have synthesized and characterized a series of alkyl and aryl‐(4‐methyl‐6‐nitro‐quinolin‐2‐yl)amines through a high‐yield, three‐step procedure starting from 4‐methylquinolin‐2‐ol. Nitration using concentrated nitric/sulfuric acids, followed by chlorination in phosphorus oxychloride, yielded 2‐chloro‐4‐methyl‐6‐nitro‐quinoline. All of the intermediates and aminated products have been characterized by multinuclear (¹H and ¹³C) NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and, in the case of the two title compounds (ethyl and cyclohexyl‐(4‐methyl‐6‐nitro‐quinolin‐2‐yl)amine), a single crystal X‐ray structure was obtained to verify the nature of the new materials.

Electrochromic Properties of ‘Trimeric' Thiophene‐pyrrole‐thiophene Derivative Grown from Electrodeposited 6‐(2,5‐di(thiophen‐2‐yl)‐1H‐pyrrol‐1‐yl)hexan‐1‐amine and its Copolymer

A centrosymmetric polymer precursor, namely 6‐(2,5‐di(thiophen‐2‐yl)‐1H‐pyrrol‐1‐yl)hexan‐1‐amine (TPHA), was synthesized via a Knorr–Paal reaction using 1,4‐di(2‐thienyl)‐1,4‐butanedione and hexane‐1,6‐diamine. The resultant monomer was characterized by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (¹H‐NMR). Electroactivity of TPHA was investigated via cyclic voltammetry. The electronic structure and the nature of electrochromism in P(TPHA) and its copolymer with EDOT, (P(TPHA‐co‐EDOT)), were examined via spectroelectrochemistry studies. P(TPHA) switches between claret red neutral state and blue oxidized state. Optical response times for coloring and bleaching processes of the P(TPHA) and P(TPHA‐co‐EDOT) were found as 2.1 s and 1.6 s, respectively.

The copolymer of TPHA was used to construct dual type polymer electrochromic devices (ECDs) against poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT). Spectroelectrochemistry and electrochromic switching out of the devices were investigated.     

Copolymers of 2‐[(5‐Methylisoxazol‐3‐yl)amino]‐2‐oxo‐ethyl Methacrylate with Ethyl Methacrylate: Monomer Reactivity Ratios,Thermal Properties and Antimicrobial Activity

We report the monomer reactivity ratios for copolymers of ethyl methacrylate (EMA) and a reactive monomer, 2‐[(5‐methylisoxazol‐3‐yl)amino]‐2‐oxo‐ethyl methacrylate (IAOEMA), using the Fineman‐Ross, Kelen‐Tüdös, and a nonlinear error invariable model method using a computer program RREVM. Copolymers were obtained by radical polymerization initiated by α,α'‐azobisisobutyronitrile in 1,4‐dioxane solution and were analyzed by FTIR, ¹H‐NMR, and gel permeation chromatography. Elemental analysis was used to determine the molar fractions of EMA and IAOEMA in the copolymers. The reactivity ratios indicated a tendency toward ideal copolymerization. The polydispersity indices of the polymers determined using gel permeation chromatography suggest a strong tendency for chain termination by disproportionation. Thermal behaviors of copolymers with various compositions were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. It was observed that glass transition temperature of copolymers increased with increasing of IAOEMA content in copolymers. Also, the apparent thermal decomposition activation energies (ΔE_d) were calculated by Ozawa method using the SETARAM Labsys TGA thermobalance. The homo‐ and copolymers were tested for their antimicrobial properties against selected microorganisms. All the products show moderate activity against different strains of bacteria, fungi and yeast.
