The influence of the type of halogen substituent and its position on the molecular conformation,intermolecular interactions and crystal packing for a series of 1‐benzoyl‐3‐(halogenophenyl)thioureas

By the reaction of benzoyl chloride, potassium isothiocyanate and the appropriate halogenoaniline, i.e. 2/3/4‐(bromo/iodo)aniline, we have obtained five new 1‐benzoyl‐3‐(halogenophenyl)thioureas, namely, 1‐benzoyl‐3‐(2‐bromophenyl)thiourea and 1‐benzoyl‐3‐(3‐bromophenyl)thiourea, C₁₄H₁₁BrN₂OS, and 1‐benzoyl‐3‐(2‐iodophenyl)thiourea, 1‐benzoyl‐3‐(3‐iodophenyl)thiourea and 1‐benzoyl‐3‐(4‐iodophenyl)thiourea, C₁₄H₁₁IN₂OS. Structural and conformational features of the compounds have been analyzed using X‐ray diffraction and theoretical calculations. The novel compounds were characterized by solid‐state IR and ¹H/¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The conformations and intermolecular interactions, such as hydrogen bonds, π–π and S(6)…π stacking, and X…O (X = I or Br), I…S and I…π, have been examined and rationalized, together with four analogous compounds described previously in the literature. The set of nine compounds was chosen to examine how a change of the halogen atom and its position on the phenyl ring affects the molecular and crystal structures.     

Synthesis,Characterization, and Screening for Anti‐inflammatory and Antimicrobial Activity of Novel Indolyl Chalcone Derivatives

Because of the great biological importance of substituted indole derivatives, in the present study, a series of pyrazolylindole, thiazolylindole, and pyrimidinylindole derivatives have been synthesized with good yield. The precursor indolyl chalcone 2a – d was prepared by reaction of 3‐chloro‐1H‐indole‐2‐carbaldehyde 1 with different ketones. Then, compounds 3b – d , 4 , and 5a – d have been synthesized by the reaction of chalcones 2a – d with hydrazine, phenylhydrazine, and thiosemicarbazide. When the chalcone derivative 2b subjected to react with hydroxylamine hydrochloride gave isoxazolylindole derivative 6b . N‐thiazolidine pyrazolyl indole 7 was obtained by reacting compound 5a with ethyl chloroacetate. On the other hand, when chalcone derivative 2b allowed to react with urea and thiourea gave the corresponding pyrimidinylindole derivatives 8 and 9 . Finally, when chalcone derivative 2b reacted with ethyl cyanoacetate or malononitrile gave pyridinylindole derivatives 10 and 11 . The structures of the all synthesized compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectral analysis infrared, NMR, and mass spectroscopy. Some of the synthesized compounds were screened for their antimicrobial and anti‐inflammatory activity. Compound 4b was the highest antibacterial activity against all strains of bacteria with values higher than those of the corresponding reference antibiotics (ciprofloxacin and levofoxacin, respectively) and almost the same as (gemifloxacin, moxifloxacin, clindamycin, gentamycin, and streptomycin). Compounds 4 , 5 , 6 , and 7 showed high anti‐inflammatory activity compared with the standard drug indomethacin.     

Preparation of poly(2‐anilinoethanol) containing azobenzene group under electrical field and its liquid crystalline properties investigation

In this project, 2‐[N‐ethyl‐N‐[4‐[(4′‐nitrophenyl)azo]‐phenyl]amino]ethanol (Disperse Red‐I) was prepared by adding of (N‐ethyl‐2‐anilinoethanol) with the salt diazonium p‐nitroaniline. The main mesogenic liquid crystalline (LC) 2‐[N‐ethyl‐N‐[4‐[4′‐nitrophenyl)azo]‐phenyl]amino]ethyl‐3‐chloro propionate (Disperse Red‐II) was synthesized by reaction of disperse Red I and 3‐chloropropanoeic acid at the alkaline condition. Then 2‐anilinoethyl‐3‐chloropropionate‐{2‐[ethyl[4‐[(4′‐nitrophenyl)azo]phenyl]amino] ethanol}, (2AECP‐Red‐I) was prepared via reaction of disperse red‐II and 2‐anilinoethanol. On the other hand, poly 2‐anilinoethyl‐3‐chloropropionate‐{2‐[ethyl[4‐[(4′‐nitrophenyl)azo]phenyl]amino]ethanol} and poly(2AECP‐Red‐I) have been synthesized by polymerization of 2AECP‐Red‐I in two separate schemes. These include polymerization in the absence of electric field (EF) and polymerization under different EFs. A comparison of the results reveals that the polymer produced under electric field is more linear, regular in shape with high electrical conductivity, as well as good LC behavior with semectic texture. The resulted monomer and poly(2AECP‐Red‐I) are characterized by using Fourier transform infrared and ultraviolet–visible and were studied by thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. Scanning electron microscopy images supported the formation of poly(2AECP‐Red‐I) and showed morphology feature and homogeneous structure on poly(2AECP‐Red‐I). Electrical conductivity of poly(2AECP‐Red‐I) has been studied by four‐point probe method. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A water soluble chloro bridged binuclear copper(II) complex (3) and mononuclear complex (4) have been synthesized from chloro substituted 2‐oxo‐1,2‐dihydroquinolin‐3‐yl‐methylene‐2 hydroxybenzohydrazide 1 and 2 and CuCl₂·2H₂O. The structures of the complexes have been determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction. The binding interactions of the ligands and complexes with CT‐DNA and protein have been evaluated by absorption and emission spectroscopic method. CT‐DNA and ethidium bromide (EB) competitive studies revealed that the compounds could interact with CT‐DNA through intercalation binding mode. Interactions of the compounds with BSA were also studied by UV−visible, fluorescence and synchronous fluorescence spectroscopic methods which showed that the compounds had a strong binding affinity with BSA through static quenching process. The cytotoxic effect of the compounds examined on cancer cell lines, such as A549 (lung cancer) and MCF7 (breast cancer) cell lines showed that all four compounds exhibited substantial cytotoxic activity.

Pyrimidines and pyrimidine bearing indole derivatives are very important species in organic chemistry due to their wide use as bioactive compounds with a broad range of good biological activities. Due to the wide spread of different species of bacteria and fungi nowadays, in the present work, a novel series of indolyl‐pyrimidines (2–13) were synthesized starting from 3‐chloro‐1H‐indole‐2‐carbaldehyde (1) . Elemental analysis, IR, 1H‐NMR, 13C‐NMR, and mass spectral data elucidated the structure of newly synthesized compounds. All compounds were screened for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activity, and they demonstrated promising results; all the new compounds synthesized from compound (1) , which allowed reactions with thiourea and ethyl cyanoacetate, gave the target compound (2) , which was used as a precursor for the synthesis of indolylthiazolopyrimidine derivatives (3–8) by reactions with halocarbonyl compounds such as chloroacetone, phancyl bromide, and chloroacetic acid through alkylation of the mercapto group followed by cyclization through a nucleophilic attack. When compound (2) subjected to react with hydrazine hydrate gave 4‐indolyl‐2‐hydrazinopyrimidine (5) , the latter compound, when allowed to react with ethyl chloroacetate or diethyloxalate, gave indolylpyrimidotriazine derivatives (10 , 11) ; in contrast, when the compound reacted with acetic anhydride or formic acid, it gave triazolopyrimidine derivatives (12, 13) .

The Reaction Studies of α‐Chloroformylarylhydrazines with Thiols,Thioureas and α‐Cyclodiketones

The reactions of α‐chloroformylarylhydrazines 1 with various types of mercaptan, thiourea and α‐cyclodiketone have been studied intensively. 1‐Arylhydrazinecarbothioates 2 were obtained via thioesterization when α‐chloroformylarylhydrazines reacted with thiols. On the other hand, compounds 3 were obtained when α‐chloroformylarylhydrazines reacted with thio‐containing heterocyclic compounds, which suggested a totally different mechanism in these types of reactions. Further studies on the reaction of α‐chloroformylarylhydrazines 1 with thiourea compounds confirmed a novel cyclization and de‐cyclization mechanism, which led to give 2‐arylhydrazinecarboximidamides 5 and 1,3,4‐thiadiazolin‐5‐ones 6 . In addition, various 1,3,4‐oxadiazines 9 were obtained by reacting α‐chloroformylarylhydrazines with α‐cyclodiketones, showing ring cyclization was involved in this type of reaction.     

New Aryl Derivatives of Quinolinedione and Related Heterocyclic Compounds

The synthesis of new derivatives of 6,7‐dibromoquinoline‐5,8‐dione and 6,7‐dichloroquinoline‐5,8‐dione via palladium/Sphos‐mediated Suzuki–Miyaura cross‐coupling reaction is reported. The 6,7‐dibromoquinoline‐5,8‐dione and 6,7‐dichloroquinoline‐5,8‐dione intermediates were prepared in a three‐step reaction from 8‐hydroxyquinoline. The palladium‐catalyzed reactions of 6,7‐dibromoquinoline‐5,8‐dione and 6,7‐dichloroquinoline‐5,8‐dione with a variety of aryl boronic acids provide coupled compounds in high yields. The arylation of 6,7‐dibromoquinoline‐5,8‐dione and 6,7‐dichloroquinoline‐5,8‐dione with 4‐bromophenyl boronic acid supplied 6,6′‐(1,4‐phenylene)bis(7‐bromoquinoline‐5,8‐dione) and (4‐(6‐(4‐(6‐chloro‐5,8‐dihydroquinolin‐7‐yl)phenyl)‐5,8‐dihydroquinolin‐7‐yl)phenyl)boronic acid respectively, in addition to the expected coupled compounds in moderate yields. Also, Pd(0)/PPh₃ allowed the 7‐chloro‐6‐(4‐nitrophenyl)quinoline‐5,8‐dione and 7‐chloro‐6‐phenylquinoline‐5,8‐dione to be synthesized via Heck reaction. The yields of the synthesized target molecules depend largely on the reaction conditions and the type of ligands employed. Structural assignments of the synthesized compounds were established by spectra and analytical data.     

α-氨基酸乙酯卤根合铂(II)的合成和构型研究

Sixteen new halogenoethylaminoacidato Pt(II) complexes were synthesized and characterized, of which eightiodo complexes (PtA2I2) (A = DL-a-AlaOEt, L-a-alaOEt, DL-a-PheOEt, L-a-PheOEt, DI-A-AspOEt, L-a-AspOEt, DL-a-SerOEt and L-a-Lys OEt), four chloro compounds (PtA2Cl2)(A = DL-a-PheOEt, DL-a-AspOEt, L-a-Asp OEt) and (DL-a-PheHOEt)2(PtCl4) were obtained by reaction of K2 (PtX4)(X = I^-, Cl^-) with the corresponding ethylaminoacidates in water. The other chlorethylaminoacidato Pt(II) complexes (PtA2Cl2) (A = DL-a-AlaOEt, L-a-AlaOEt, L-a-PheOEt, DL-a-Ser OEt) were synthesized in acetone by exchange reaction of the corresponding iodo complexes with AgCl in order to avoid hydrolysis of the ethyl aminoacidates. Molar conductivity determination showed that all the Pt(II) complexes obtained were neutral molecules with the exception of (DL-a-PheHOEt)2(PtCl4) which existed as an anion. As shown by diole moment determination and modified thiourea reaction, iodo complexes 1-7 and some of the chloro complexes (PtA2Cl2) (A = DL-a-alaOEt, D-a-AlaOEt, DL-a-SerOEt) were of cis-configuration and the other chloro complexes were of trans-configuration.

Divalent manganese,cobalt, copper and cadmium complexes of (Z)‐N‐benzoyl‐N′‐(1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐yl)carbamimidothioic acid: Preparation,characterization, computational and biological studies

In this work, (Z)‐N‐benzoyl‐N′‐(1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐yl)carbamimidothioic acid and its Mn(II), Co(II), Cu(II) and Cd(II) complexes were introduced for the first time. This carbonyl thiourea ligand was prepared by the reaction of 1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐amine with benzoyl isothiocyanate. The structural elucidation of these compounds was performed using elemental analysis and spectral and magnetic measurements. Octahedral structures of all complexes, except Cd(II) complex with a tetrahedral geometry, were confirmed by applying DFT structural optimization. The thermal decomposition behaviour of metal complexes of carbonyl thiourea ligand is discussed. The calculation of kinetic parameters for prepared complexes (E_a, A, ΔH*, ΔS* and ΔG*) of all thermal degradation stages has been evaluated using two comparable approaches. Antimicrobial and ABTS‐antioxidant studies indicated potent activity of Cd(II) complex compared with the other investigated compounds. The cytotoxic activity of the prepared compounds was investigated in vitro. The results indicated potent activity of Mn(II) complex against both HePG2 (liver carcinoma) and MCF‐7 (breast carcinoma) cancer cells.
