Monosubstituted ferrocene liquid crystals containing click triazole with a wide nematic phase temperature range

New monosubstituted ferrocenomesogens of the 1,4-substituted-1,2,3-triazole series 3a-3d and the 5-halogen-1,4-substituted-1,2,3-triazole series 4a-4d were successfully synthesised through a facile and versatile synthetic route using click reactions with moderate yields, in different atmospheres, and catalysed by different amounts of CuX (X = Br, I). Two series of compounds exhibited a typical nematic liquid crystal texture, and the 5-halogen-1,4-substituted-1,2,3-triazole series 4 had a wider mesomorphic temperature range than the corresponding series 3 due to the effect of the halogen atom substituent on the triazole. These compounds showed similar absorption spectra, but the fluorescence emission spectra of 4 were obviously redshift relative to 3. Cyclic voltammetry investigations revealed that the redox-active ferrocenyl groups of 3 and 4 follow one-electron transfer processes.     

Antimicrobial activities and absorption properties of disazo dyes containing imidazole and pyrazole moieties

The newly synthesized thirteen disazo dyes containing imidazole and pyrazole cycles (3a-3m) were carried out by diazotization reaction of 5-amino-4-arylazo-3-methyl-1H-pyrazoles (2a-2m) and coupling reaction with 1-methyl imidazole. Structures of synthesized azo dyes were characterized by UV–Vis, FT-IR, ¹H-NMR, elemental analysis and their solvatochromic properties were studied in DMSO, DMF, methanol, acetic acid and chloroform. In addition, the antimicrobial activities of dyes against twelve pathogenic bacteria were examined in detail and all dyes showed antimicrobial activity against different bacterial strains.     

Silver(I) coordination polymer based on anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonate: synthesis,crystal structure,and luminescent properties

Self-assembly of anthraquinone-2,6-disulfonic acid disodium salt (Na₂a-2,6-dad) and AgNO₃ under hydrothermal conditions resulted in an unprecedented coordination complex, which was characterized by single-crystal X-ray analyses, elemental analyses, IR spectra, TG analyses, and fluorescence investigations. Complex 1 is a 3-D coordination polymer, where a-2,6-dad and Ag–Ag bonds play vital roles. Two sulfonate groups of a-2,6-dad are μ ₄- and μ ₅-bridges. The unique packing environments of the Ag ions and Ag–Ag bonds lead to 1-D chains consisting of eight- and four-membered rings for Ag1 and Ag1, Ag2 and Ag2 connection, respectively.     

Synthesis,radiolabeling and stability of new nitrophenol complexes of <Superscript>99m</Superscript>Tc as possible hypoxia imaging radiopharmaceuticals

Summary The synthesis of the seven ^99mTc-labeled nitrophenol radiosensitizers (N₂OS chelates) was undertaken for evaluation of their biostability in vitro as possible hypoxia tumor imaging agents. The title compounds (2-7)were successively synthesized, characterized, and finally radiolabeled (^99mTc-NaTcO₄, stannous chloride, pH 10) to obtain the new complexes (8a-8f) for evaluation. The purity and stability of the final complexes (in human and rat serum) were evaluated by chromatographic methods (radio-TLC, ITLC, HPLC). The most stable complex over 6 hours was shown to be ^99mTc-labeled 3-[3'-N-(2”-hydroxy-5”-nitrobenzylamino)-2'-propanol]-1-(4'-methyl)thiourea (8e). Biodistribution studies of 8ein tumor-bearing rats are under investigation.     

Synthesis and antiproliferative activities of thioxoflavonoids on three human cancer cells

Two series of fifteen novel thioxoflavonoids 2a-2h and 4a-4g were synthesized from corresponding flavonoids 1a-1h and 3a-3g by reacting with Lawesson’s reagent, respectively. Their in vitro antiproliferative activities were evaluated on a panel of three human cancer cell lines (Hela, HCC1954 and SK-OV-3) using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. The results showed that most of the target compounds exhibited moderate to good antiproliferative activities against the three human cancer cell lines. In particular, thioxoflavonoids 2f and 2g showed the strongest antiproliferative activity on all three human cancer cell lines with IC₅₀ values ranging from 3.34 to 4.67 μM, 4f showed the best antiproliferative activity on Hela cells (IC₅₀ 2.30 μM), 2e showed the best antiproliferative activity on HCC1954 cells (IC₅₀ 2.13 μM) and SK-OV-3 cells (IC₅₀ 2.33 μM). The antiproliferative activities may be involved in their antioxidant activity, which can be speculated by their ability to scavenge free radicals and by their capacity of affecting key redox enzymes.

Attempted reaction of 4-N,N-diethylamino-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde (1a) and 2-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzaldehyde (1i) with diethyl 3-phenyl-2-pentenedicarboxylate (5) led to formation of no coumarin or chromene derivative.     

Synthesis and Characterization of New Thiazolidin-4-one Derivatives

The synthesis of some new functionalized thiazolidin-4-one derivatives has been described. The N-substituted-thiosemicarbazides 3a-3i were obtained though the reaction of alkylamines 2a–2i , carbon disulfide, and hydrazine hydrate. The condensation reaction between 3a–3i and 4-amino-2-methanesulfanylpyrimidine-5-carboxaldehyde 1 afforded the thiosemicarbazones 4a–4i . The corresponding thiazolidin-4-ones 5a–5i were prepared by cyclization of 4a–4i with ethyl bromoacetate. The structures of the final products were confirmed by IR, ¹ H NMR, ¹³ C NMR, and HRMS.

Diphenylphosphorous chloride and methyl iodide add readily to the N-bonded P(III)-atom of (C₆H₅)₂P? P(C₆H₅)₃?N? P(C₆H₅)₂ forming the salts [(C₆H₅)₂P? P(C₆H₅)₂ N P(C₆H₅)₂? P(C₆H₅)₂]Cl and [(C₆H₅)₂P? P(C₆H₅)₂ N P(C₆H₅)₂. CH₃]I, respectively. A similar behaviour is observed with sulfur: Under mild conditions (C₆H₅)₂P? P(C₆H₅)₂?N? P(C₆H₅)₂ = S is formed but forcing conditions are required to produce S = P(C₆H₅)₂? P(C₆H₅)₂?N? P(C₆H₅)₂?S. The monosulfide is also obtained by treating (C₆H₅)₂P(S)N[Si(CH₃)₃]₂ with diphenylphosphorous chloride, indicating the favoured formation of the phosphazene system as compared with the phosphazane system Confirmation of the structures comes from ³¹P nmr and IR data, and for the sulfides also from their degradation with bromine.

Stereoselectivity of the Diels-Alder Reaction of (E)-γ-Oxo-α,β-Unsaturated Thioesters with Cyclopentadiene

The stereoselectivity of the Diels-Alder reaction of (E)-γ-oxo-α,β-unsaturated thioesters 3a-3d with cyclopentadiene is greatly enhanced in the presence of Lewis acids favoring the endo acyl isomers 4a-4d . In the absence of Lewis acid, Diels-Alder reaction of 3a-3d with cyclopentadiene at 25 °C gave two adducts 4a-4d and 5a-5d in a ratio of 1:1 respectively. In the presence of Lewis acids, Diels-Alder reaction of 3a-3d with cyclopentadiene gave 4a-4d and 5a-5d in ratios of 75-94:25-6 respectively. The stereoelectivity was enhanced to ratios of 95-98:5-2 with lowering the reaction temperature. The stereochemistry of the cycloadducts 4 and 5 was confirmed by iodocyclization. Reaction of the endo-thioester 5c with I₂ in aqueous THF at 0 °C gave the novel methylthio group rearranged product 6c in 80% yield, the first example of iodo-lactonization of endo-thioesters. Reaction of the endo-acyl isomer 4b with I₂ under the same reaction conditions gave an isomeric mixture of 7b and 8b in 1:2 ratio. The stereochemistry of the thioester group in 8b was proved by X-ray single-crystal analysis. The solvent effect on the endo selectivity of (Z)-γ-oxo-α,β-unsaturated thioester 2b was also examined.
