Novel 3-Acetyl-2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-oxadiazolines: Synthesis and Biological Activity

The aim of our study was the two-stage synthesis of 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives. The first step was the synthesis of hydrazide–hydrazones from 3-methyl-4-nitrobenzhydrazide and the corresponding substituted aromatic aldehydes. Then, the synthesized hydrazide–hydrazones were cyclized with acetic anhydride to obtain new 3-acetyl-2,3-disubstituted-1,3,4-oxadiazolines. All of obtained compounds were tested in in vitro assays to establish their potential antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity. Our results indicated that few of the newly synthesized compounds had some antimicrobial activity, mainly compounds 20 and 37 towards all used reference bacterial strains (except Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and fungi. These substances showed a strong or powerful bactericidal effect, especially against Staphylococcus spp. belonging to Gram-positive bacteria. Compound 37 was active against Staphylococcus epidermidis at minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) = 0.48 µg/mL and was characterized by low cytotoxicity. This compound possessed quinolin-4-yl substituent in the second position of 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring and 3-methyl-4-nitrophenyl in position 5. High effectiveness and safety of these derivatives make them promising candidates as antimicrobial agents. Whereas the compound 20 with the 5-iodofurane substituent in position 2 of the 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring showed the greatest activity against S. epidermidis at MIC = 1.95 µg/mL.

An expedient synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted-3-oxygenated tetrahydrofurans

Single enantiomer 2,5-disubstituted-3-oxygenated tetrahydrofurans are synthesized in as little as four steps from a commercially available epoxide. The key steps are homoallylic alcohol epoxidation, palladium-catalysed alkoxy-carbonylation-lactonisation and Mitsunobu inversion. The protocol is applied to the formal total syntheses of (+)-kumausallene, (6S,7S,9R,10R)-6,9-epoxynonadec-18-ene-7,10-diol and the core of lytophilippine A.     

Synthesis of 4,5-disubstituted-3-trihalomethylisothiazoles

Herein, we describe the synthesis of 4,5-disubstituted-3-trihalomethylisothiazoles from trihaloacetonitriles and 2-cyanothioacetamides or 2-ethoxycarbonylthioacetamides. The reactivity of the necessary trihaloacetonitriles has a significant impact on the observed reaction pathways. Reactions with CF₃CN require an oxidant to mediate cyclization, while CCl₃CN functions as both the reactant and oxidant.     

Synthesis,characterization and antimicrobial evaluation of 2,5-disubstituted-4-thiazolidinone derivatives

In the present study novel derivatives of 4-thiazolidinone were prepared from biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid and evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against two Gram negative strains (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and two Gram positive strains (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus) and fungal strain Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized by IR, ¹H NMR and C, H, N analyses. The results revealed that all synthesized compounds have a significant biological activity against the tested microorganisms. Among the synthesized derivatives 4g (biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid [2-(3-bromophenyl)-5-(3-nitrobenzylidene)-4-oxo-thiazolidin-3-yl]-amide) and 4i (biphenyl-4-carboxylic acid [5-(3-bromobenzylidene)-2-(3-bromophenyl)-4-oxo-thiazolidin-3-yl]-amide) were found to be most effective antimicrobial compounds.

Synthesis and characterisation of asymmetrical mesogenic materials based on 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-oxadiazole

New mesogenic homologous series bearing 1,3,4-oxadiazole ring with a nitro terminal group, 4-(5-(4-nitrophenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)phenyl 4-((4-methoxybenzylidene)amino)benzoate (G₁–G₁₁), were synthesised. Their chemical structures are identified by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR) and elemental analysis. The liquid crystalline properties of the series G_n and their precursory F_n were screened by differential scanning calorimetry and optical polarising microscopy (OPM). The compounds of the series G_n were screened by thermogravimetric analysis to observe their thermal stability. The target compounds (G_n) in this study, were displayed different liquid crystalline mesophase, the first two homologous (G₁ and G₂) did not show any liquid crystalline behaviour, the homologous (G₃–G₁₀) which have an alkoxy terminal group (n = 3–10) exhibited nematic phase, whilst the last derivative of the series (G₁₁), n = 12, displayed SmA phase. The mesomorphic properties of these derivatives were affected by the presence of the nitro group at the end of the molecules which was classified as a strong polar group. Also, the role of alkoxy terminal chain and the bent heterocyclic ring (1,3,4-oxadiazole) in the liquid crystalline properties of these molecules were debated.     

A highly diastereoselective synthesis of 3-carbethoxy-2,5-disubstituted-3-pyrrolines by phosphine catalysis

The reaction went to completion in several hours at room temperature, and the starting materials were easily prepared with one step from commercially available compounds via known procedures.

The nmr studies demonstrate that N-unsubstituted 2,5-disubstituted-1,3-thiazolidines exist as epimeric mixture, while the corresponding N-acetylated analogues exist as a conformer mixture.

A convenient, efficient and one-pot synthesis of chemically and pharmaceutically interesting symmetrical-2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-oxadiazoles is reported. The protocol involves anodic oxidation of aldehyde-N-arylhydrazones in anhyd. MeCN–LiClO₄. Constant potential electrolysis carried out in an undivided cell and platinum electrodes leads to the formation of the corresponding oxadiazoles under ambient condition and the mechanism was deduced from voltammetry studies. The reaction proceeded smoothly with high atom economy.     

One-pot multicomponent synthesis of functionalized 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-thiadiazine derivatives

An atom-efficient and environmentally friendly approach to the synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-thidiazine derivatives has been developed. These compounds were synthesized by a reaction of 2-(2-bromoacetyl)benzofuran and thiocarbohydrazide with various aryl aldehydes, acetylacetones, and pthalic anhydrides in good yields. The advantages of this methodology are mild reaction conditions, easy workup procedure, clean reaction profile, shorter reaction time, and a wide range of substrate applicability. The structures of all synthesized compounds were confirmed from their analytical and spectral data.     

Synthesis of 1,2-disubstituted-3-alkylidenylpyrrolidines via a one-pot three-component reaction

Olsson’s three-component reaction of cyclopropylketones, aldehydes, and primary amines was investigated for application to parallel synthesis. Using an excess of Et₂AlI at elevated temperatures, pyrrolidines 4, the initial products reported by Olsson and co-workers, could be completely converted to pyrrolium salts 5, by a reaction sequence involving a retro-aza-Michael addition followed by iminium salt formation. The pyrrolium salts 5 were then cleanly reduced in situ by NaBH(OAc)₃ to give 3-alkylidenylpyrrolidines 6. In summary, this one-pot three-component reaction provided an efficient synthetic route to 3-alkylidenylpyrrolidines.
