The title compound was prepared by reaction of N, N‐dimethyldithiocarbamate sodium with l‐bromo‐l‐(4‐methoxyphenylcarbonyl)‐2‐(1, 2, 4‐triazole‐l‐yl) ethane. Its crystal structure has been determined by X‐ray diffraction analysis. The crystal belongs to triclinic with space group Pī, a = 0.7339(2) nm, b = 1.1032(2) nm, c = 1.1203(2) nm, a = 90.27(3)°, β = 102.03(3)°, γ = 104.91(3)°, Z=2, V = 0.8556(3) nm³, D_c = 1.360 g/cm³, μ =0.325 mm^?1, F(000)=368, final R₁ =0.0475. The planes of 4‐methoxybenzyl group and triazole ring are nearly perpendicular to each other. The dihedral angle is 83.97°. There is an obvious π‐π stacking interaction between the molecules in the crystal lattice. The results of biological test show that the title compound has fungicidal and plant growth regulating activities.     

Microwave Induced Synthesis of 3‐Aryl‐6‐(6‐/8‐substituted 4‐chloroquinoline‐3‐yl) ‐ s ‐triazolo [3,4‐b] −1,3,4‐thiadiazoles

The condensation of 4‐amino‐3‐aryl‐5‐mercapto‐1, 2, 4‐triazoles (1a‐f) with 6‐/8‐substituted 1,4‐dihydro‐4‐oxo‐quinoline‐3‐carboxylic adds (2a‐d) in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride on refluxng or under microwave irradiation gave twenty four novel 3‐aryl‐6‐ (6‐/8‐substituted 4‐chloroquinoline‐3‐yl)‐s‐triazolo[3,4‐b]‐1, 3,4‐thiadiazoles (4a‐x), Considerable increase in the reaction rate has been observed with improved yields under microwave irradiation. The structures of the compounds synthesized were determined by elemental analyses, IR, ¹H NMR and MS spectra. Their spectral properties and the reaction mechanism were also discussed. The preliminary biological test showed that some of compounds bad moderate antibacterial activities.     

First Total Synthesis of N‐(3‐Guanidinopropyl)‐2‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐oxoacetamide

The first total synthesis of the α‐oxo amide‐based natural product, N‐(3‐guanidinopropyl)‐2‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐oxoacetamide ( 3 ), isolated from aqueous extracts of hydroid Campanularia sp., has been achieved. The α‐oxo amide 12 , prepared via the oxidative amidation of 1‐[4‐(benzyloxy)phenyl]‐2,2‐dibromoethanone ( 9a ) with 4‐{[(tert‐butyl)(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}butan‐1‐amine ( 10a ), has been used as the key intermediate in the total synthesis of 3 as HBr salt. On the way, an expeditious total synthesis of polyandrocarpamide C ( 2c ), isolated from marine ascidian Polyandrocarpa sp., was carried out in four steps.
