Conformational isomerism of chlorophenylthioureas and intramolecular N---H … Cl hydrogen bonds: IR spectra of N---H stretching vibrations

The vN---H regions of the IR spectra of thioureas with chlorophenyl (ClPh) groups and those with halophenyl groups were measured in dilute CCl₄ solution. The observed vN---H bands were classified into eight groups according to the wavenumbers and the two substituent groups. The suggested conformational states and the formation of intramolecular N---H … Cl hydrogen bonds in these compounds were discussed in comparison with those of the urea analogs. It was found that these thiourea derivatives are more stable in the cis form than the urea analogs and that thioureas with o-ClPh groups form fewer intramolecular N---H … Cl hydrogen bonds than do the urea analogs.     

Isosteric Substitutions of Urea to Thiourea and Selenourea in Aliphatic Oligourea Foldamers: Site‐Specific Perturbation of the Helix Geometry

Nearly isosteric oxo to thioxo substitution was employed to interrogate the structure of foldamers with a urea backbone and explore the relationship between helical folding and hydrogen‐bonding interactions. A series of oligomers with urea bonds substituted by thiourea bonds at discrete or all positions in the sequence have been prepared and their folding propensity was studied by using a combination of spectroscopic methods and X‐ray diffraction. The outcome of oxo to thioxo replacements on the helical folding was found to depend on whether central or terminal ureas were modified. The canonical helix geometry was not affected upon insertion of thioureas close to the negative end of the helix dipole, whereas thioureas close to the positive pole were found to increase the terminal flexibility and cause helix fraying. Perturbation was amplified when a selenourea was incorporated instead, leading to a structure that is only partly folded.     

Synthesis of N-benzoyl-N''-aryl selenoureas under PTC

Recently many syntheses of selenium-containing compounds have been reported and studied, in which compounds selenoureas are used as the precursors for the syntheses of selenium-nitrogen heterocyclic compounds and their activities have received increasing attentions.Herein, we report the facile preparation of N-benzoyl-N'-aryl selenourea derivatives using potassium selenocyanate.In this typical procedure, Benzoyl chloride 1 was treated with potassium selenocyanate in CH2C12 under the condition of solid-liquid phase transfer catalysis using polyethylene glycal-400 as the catalyst to give the corresponding benzoyl isoselenocyanate 2. This compound did not need to be isolated and reacted with aromatic amine affording the N-benzoyl-N'-aryl selenourea derivatives 3.The reaction is described as:All the experiments were carried out under the condition of solid-liquid phase transfer catalysis using polyethylene glycal-400 as the catalyst and room temperature. And the structure was determined by IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR. Selected data for N-benzoyl-N'-(4-fluoro)-selenourea:IR(KBr) 3426, 3274, 1672,1234,1155(C=Se); 1HMR(500MHz, DMSO) δ 12.85 (1H,S),11.86(1H,S), 7.27(2H,d,J=2.15), 7.98(2H,s,J=l.15), 7.30(2H,d,J=2.05), 7.56(2H.t,J=6.50),7.67(1H,t,J=6.20); 13C NMR(500MHz, DMSO)δ 181,168(C=Se),135,133, 132,115, 128.3, 128.8,161, 129.     

The chemistry of trityl isoselenocyanate revisited: A preparative and structural investigation

The reaction of trityl chloride with KSeCN gives trityl isoselenocyanate which was structurally characterised by X-ray diffraction. Trityl isoselenocyanate reacts with hydrazine to give trityl selenosemicarbazide and with primary amines to give selenourea derivatives. However, with secondary amines mixtures of selenoureas and substitution products are formed. Trityl selenosemicarbazide undergoes a condensation reaction with salicylaldehyde to give the corresponding trityl selenosemicarbazone. In the case of 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde, the analogous selenosemicarbazone cannot be isolated, instead a small quantity of the diselenide was isolated from the reaction mixture. The compounds prepared here were fully characterised spectroscopically and several also by X-ray diffraction.     

Synthesis and Antioxidant Activity of New Thiazole Analogues Possessing Urea,Thiourea, and Selenourea Functionality

A new series of urea, thiourea, and selenourea derivatives with thiazole moieties were synthesized by the nucleophilic addition reaction of (2-amino-4-(3-chlorophenyl)thiazol-5-yl)(2-chlorophenyl)methanone with various substituted isocyanates/ isothiocyanates/isoselenocynates in acetone having a catalytic amount of sodium hydroxide at room temperature with good yields. All the synthesized compounds were fully characterized by spectroscopic data and screened for their in vitro antioxidant activity using 1,1-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH), nitric oxide (NO), and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) radical scavenging methods. A preliminary study of the structure–activity relationship revealed that the compounds containing selenourea functionality along with halogen group have exhibited potent activity (IC₅₀ ≤ 0.0309 µmol/mL) compared to the standards (IC₅₀ ≤ 0.0814 µmol/mL). Thus the title compounds are a new class of potent antioxidant agents and worthy of further investigation.     

Synthesis of O-unprotected glycosyl selenoureas. A new access to bicyclic sugar isoureas

β-d-Gluco and mannopyranosyl selenoureas have been prepared by coupling of the corresponding glycosylamines with phenyl isoselenocyanate in aqueous pyridine. Alkyl and aryl isoselenocyanates, and 1,4-phenylene diisoselenocyanate have been obtained from the corresponding formamides with an excess of triphosgene, black selenium and triethylamine. Treatment of the O-unprotected β-d-glucopyranosyl selenourea with aqueous oxygen peroxide afforded a 1,2-trans-fused bicyclic isourea.     

Selenium-sulfur analogs. 7. Synthesis and characterization of 4-aralkyl-1,3-selenazoles and -1,3-thiazoles

The diketones 3 and 7 were brominated to give the bromomethyldiketones 4 and 8 which were condensed with selenourea and thiourea to give the corresponding 2-amino-1,3-selenazoles 5a, 9a and 2-amino-1,3-thiazoles 5b, 9b . Reaction with acetic anhydride and benzoic anhydride yielded the 2-acylated derivatives. Biologic evaluation of these compounds indicated some activity as adrenocortical enzyme inhibitors, but significantly less than that of metyropone.     

Synthesis and Identification of New N,N-Disubstituted Thiourea,and Thiazolidinone Scaffolds Based on Quinolone Moiety as Urease Inhibitor

Synthesis of thiazolidinone based on quinolone moiety was established starting from 4-hydroxyquinol-2-ones. The strategy started with the reaction of ethyl bromoacetate with 4-hydroxyquinoline to give the corresponding ethyl oxoquinolinyl acetates, which reacted with hydrazine hydrate to afford the hydrazide derivatives. Subsequently, hydrazides reacted with isothiocyanate derivatives to give the corresponding N,N-disubstituted thioureas. Finally, on subjecting the N,N-disubstituted thioureas with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates, cyclization occurred, and thiazolidinone derivatives were obtained in good yields. The two series based on quinolone moiety, one containing N,N-disubstituted thioureas and the other containing thiazolidinone functionalities, were screened for their in vitro urease inhibition properties using thiourea and acetohydroxamic acid as standard inhibitors. The inhibition values of the synthesized thioureas and thiazolidinones exhibited moderate to good inhibitory effects. The structure−activity relationship revealed that N-methyl quinolonyl moiety exhibited a superior effect, since it was proved to be the most potent inhibitor in the present series achieving (IC₅₀ = 1.83 ± 0.79 µM). The previous compound exhibited relatively much greater activity, being approximately 12-fold more potent than thiourea and acetohydroxamic acid as references. Molecular docking analysis showed a good protein−ligand interaction profile against the urease target (PDBID: 4UBP), emphasizing the electronic and geometric effect of N,N-disubstituted thiourea.     

Synthesis and Metal Complexes of Thiourea Ligands Containing Carbohydrate‐Derived Substituents

Two glucose‐derived thiourea derivatives, 2a and 2b , were prepared by addition of the corresponding amino sugars to a solution of 4‐nitrobenzoyl isothiocyanate (Scheme 1). The thioureas were isolated as colorless solids in good yields and were fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy, optical rotation, elemental analysis, and also by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. Attempts to obtain Cu^II and Ni^II bis(chelate) complexes with these thioureas failed. However, the C(1)‐protected thiourea derivative 2a reacted with orthopalladated acetato‐bridged dimers to afford the corresponding monomeric Pd^II complexes 3 and 4 (Scheme 2). In these compounds, the thiourea coordinates to the metal as monoanionic O,S chelate ligand, which was confirmed by X‐ray crystallography.

One-pot synthesis and conformational features of n,n'-disubstituted ketene aminals

N,N'-Disubstituted ketene aminals are bioisosteres of thioureas and are useful building blocks in many synthetic operations. A convenient one-pot synthesis of N,N'-disubstituted ketene aminals from activated methylene compounds and isothiocyanates is described. Most of these aminals exist in rotameric equilibrium around the central C=C bonds in solution, and the rotamers are stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding both in solution and in solid states.

Non-aqueous cerimetric determination of thioureas

Ammonium hexanitratocerate (in acetonitrile) solution has been used as an oxidimetric reagent for the visual and potentiometric determination of thiourea and its alkyl derivatives in acetonitrile medium. The thioureas are oxidized to their corresponding disulphides. The method is simple, accurate, reliable and widely applicable.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of new 3,5-di(trifluoromethyl)-1,2,4-triazolesulfonylurea and thiourea derivatives as antidiabetic and antimicrobial agents

Fluorinated 1,2,4-triazoles 3 and benzenesulfonyl urea and thiourea derivatives as well as their cyclic sulfonylthioureas 4–10 were prepared as antimicrobial agents.

Cyclization of thiourea derivatives with ethyl bromoacetate, 1,2-diiodoethane, diethyl oxalate and α-bromoacetophenone derivatives yielded the corresponding 4-oxothiazolidines 7, thiazolidines 8, 4,5-dioxothiazolidines 9 and thiazolines 10. Preliminary biological screening of the prepared compounds revealed significant antimicrobial and mild antidiabetic activities.     

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.     

New aspects of reactions of methyl (thio)ureas with benzil

New pathways of reaction between 1-methylthiourea or 1-methylurea and benzil bring about new derivatives of (2S*,3aR*,6aS*)-perhydro-3aH-[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-d]imidazole and racemic (4S*,5R*)-4-alkoxy-5-hydroxy-1-methyl-4,5-diphenylimidazolidine-2-thiones. Some of the obtained urea-and thiourea derivatives were characterized by X-ray diffraction, which showed their supramolecular organization governed by the directionality of hydrogen bonds at the acceptor side C=O or C=S groups.
