Synthesis of pyrazolo[1,3,2]diazaphosphinin‐4‐ones

It was found that phosphinimidic isocyanates based on 3‐, 4‐, and 5‐aminopyrazoles could undergo intramolecular heterocyclization to yield previously unknown pyrazolo[1,3,2]diazaphosphorin‐4‐ones containing an endocyclic PN double bond. It was shown that phosphinimidic isocyanate based on 4‐aminopyrazole, in which there are two positions (3 and 5) available for the cyclization, reacts exclusively at the 5‐carbon atom. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis of derivatives of 1,3,2‐diazaphospholidin‐4‐ones and the corresponding 2‐sulfides

Aromatic‐substituted derivatives of 1,3,2‐diazaphospholidin‐4‐ones 2a–g were readily prepared from 1,3‐diaryl glycinamides 1 by the reaction with hexaethylphosphoric triamide. Their chemical transformation was selectively effected with different thionation reagents to afford thionated products at the phosphorus atom to give 3a–g and at the carbonyl group to give 4a . An oxidation reaction at phosphorus to produce 5a was effected with 10% hydrogen peroxide. Preliminary bioassays revealed that some of the title compounds, 2a–g and 3a–g possess selective herbicidal activity against rape. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

3,5‐Bis(arylidene)piperid‐4‐ones Containing 1,3,2‐Oxazaphosphorinane Moieties: Synthesis and Antitumor Activity

Two novel series of phosphorus‐substituted 3,5‐bis(arylidene)piperid‐4‐ones bearing 1,3,2‐oxazaphosphorinane cycle either directly attached to the piperidone core through the P N bond (diamidophosphates 4 ) or connected with it via thiocarbamoyl linker (thioureas 5 ) were obtained by the phosphorylation of NH precursors with 2‐oxo‐1,3,2‐oxazaphosphorinane chloride or the reaction of the former ones with the corresponding cyclic isothiocyanate. According to the results of cytotoxicity screening against human carcinoma cell lines (A549, CaOv3, KB), thioureas 5 were more active than the diamidophosphates 4 bearing the same arylidene rings, with compounds with electron‐withdrawing side groups displaying IC₅₀ in the micromolar range of 1.2–7 μM. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Methods of studies on quantitative structure–activity relationships for chiral compounds

Chiral compounds are very important in drug development, organic synthesis, materials science, toxicology, or environmental chemistry. Therefore, for creating new drugs, several methods have been suggested in recent years. In several laboratories in the world, some new methods for the derivations of the parameters were constructed and used for studies on quantitative structure–activity/property relationships of chiral molecules. The algorithms reviewed in this paper involve Zargeb group chiral indices, chiral molecular connectivity index, chiral topological charge index, chiral A_m index, chiral indices based on the matrixes, chiral indices based on chiral product, conformation‐independent chirality code, conformation‐dependent chirality code, quantitative two‐dimensional chirality degrees of benzenoids, and so on.

A series of novel 3‐((4‐(t‐butyl)‐2‐(2‐benzylidenehydrazinyl)thiazol‐5‐yl)methyl)quinolin‐2(1H)‐ones ( 7a – 7z ) were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their ability of inhibiting neuraminidase (NA) of in?uenza H1N1 virus.
