Synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial activity of new 1,2,3-selenadiazoles

The commercially available aromatic polyketones 1a-d were utilized for the synthesis of the multi-arm1,2,3-selenadiazole derivatives 3a-d. The preparation starts with the reaction between compounds 1a-d and p-toluenesulfonyl hydrazide to give the corresponding tosylhydrazones 2a-d. Subsequent reaction with selenium dioxide leads to regiospecific ring closure of the tosylhydrazones to give the target multi-arm 1,2,3-selenadiazole derivatives in high yield. A 1,2,3-selenadiazole derivative 3e containing an epoxide ring was also prepared. The structures of all the synthesized compounds were confirmed on the basis of spectral and analytical data. The compounds were screened in vitro for their antimicrobial activity against various pathogenic bacterial and Candida strains obtained from King Abdullah Hospital in Irbid -Jordan. Compounds 3a, 3c and 3e were found to be highly active against all the selected pathogens. Compound 3e showed an inhibition zone of 13 mm against the highly resistant P. aruginosa.

The semicarbazone (L¹) has been prepared by reaction of semicarbazide and glutaraldehyde (2 : 1) in distilled water and methanol (1 : 1). The reaction of semicarbazide, glutaraldehyde and diethyl oxalate in distilled water and methanol gave Schiff-base L², 1,2,4,7,9,10-hexaazacyclo-pentadeca-10,15-dien-3,5,6,8-tetraone. Complexes of first row transition metal ions Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) have also been synthesized. The ligand and its complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, magnetic moment measurements, IR, ¹H NMR, UV–Visible spectra and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Molar conductance values show that the complexes of Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Mn(II) and Co(II) are 1 : 2 electrolytes. On the basis of electronic spectral studies and molar conductance measurements an octahedral structure has been proposed for Mn(II) and Co(II) complexes, tetrahedral for Zn(II) complex and square planar for Ni(II) and Cu(II). The thermal behavior of the compounds, studied by TGA in a nitrogen atmosphere up to 800°C, reveal that the complexes have higher thermal stability than the macrocycle. All the synthesized compounds and standard drugs kanamycin (antibacterial) and miconazole (antifungal) have been screened against bacterial strains Staphylococcus areus, Escherichia coli and fungal strains Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger. The metal complexes inhibit growth of bacteria to a greater extent than the ligand.

Synthesis,characterization, and thermal properties of new flavor compounds

Synthesis, characterization, and thermal properties of new, flavor, long chain esters were presented. The new compounds were obtained in the catalytic esterification process of a stoichiometric ratio of trans-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadien-1-ol, succinic anhydride, and aliphatic chain diol. As diols ethylene glycol, 1,4-buthylene glycol, 1,5-pentylene glycol, and 1,6-hexylene glycol were applied. The spectroscopic analyses completely confirmed that the applied synthesis conditions allowed obtaining the new compounds with high yield and purity. Their thermal properties were studied in inert and oxidative atmospheres. The esters were less thermally stable in inert (IDT 186–195 °C) than in oxidative (IDT 210–228 °C) atmosphere. Two, non-completely divided decomposition steps were visible during their pyrolysis. In contrast, the new, long chain compounds decompose in three major steps in air. The analyses of the volatile products emitted during their pyrolysis indicated on the asymmetrical disrupt of their bonds. The formation of acyclic and alicyclic monoterpene hydrocarbons, succinic anhydride, diols, alcohols, alkenes, and water was observed. It indicated mainly on the β-elimination reactions during their pyrolysis. Also, β-elimination reactions of esters are mainly expected in air. Initially, it resulted in the formation of acyclic and alicyclic monoterpene hydrocarbons, hydroxyl compounds (diols, alcohols), and its β-elimination products: aldehydes, alkenes, and water. However, the presence of oxygen in the medium causes the partial decarboxylation and oxygenation of aldehydes and thus the formation of alkenes and carbon dioxide. In addition, the beginning of evaporation of succinic anhydride was detected at T _max1. At T _max2 the evaporation of succinic anhydride, their partial decarboxylation to CO₂, the small amounts of diols, alcohols, and aldehyde fragments were indicated. Finally, succinic anhydride, water, and carbon dioxide were only observed during decomposition of studied esters in air.
