Novel 2‐(substituted)‐5‐(1‐methyl‐1H‐indazol‐3‐yl)‐oxazoles ( 13 ) were synthesized in moderate yields, from 1‐methyl‐1H‐Indazole 3‐carboxylic acid ( 1 ), by converting it into a variety of amides ( 12 ) and further its heterocyclization. The structures of all the compounds have been elucidated on the basis of IR, ¹H‐NMR, and HRMS.     

Synthesis of 5‐substituted 2‐(2,4‐dihydroxyphenyl)‐1,3,4‐thiadiazoles

One‐stage synthesis of 5‐substituted (alkyl, aryl, heteroaryl, arylalkyl, heteroalkyl, alkoxy‐, aryloxy)‐2‐(2,4‐dihydroxyphenyl)‐1,3,4‐thiadiazoles is described.

Synthesis and Antimicrobial Activities of Novel Series of 3‐(4‐(2‐substituted thiazol‐4‐yl)phenyl)‐2‐(4‐methyl‐2‐substituted thiazol‐5‐yl)thiazolidin‐4‐one Derivatives

In the present investigation, a novel series of 3‐(4‐(2‐substituted thiazol‐4‐yl)phenyl)‐2‐(4‐methyl‐2‐substituted thiazol‐5‐yl)thiazolidin‐4‐one derivatives were synthesized by condensation of 2‐substituted‐4‐methylthiazole‐5‐carbaldehyde with 4‐(2‐substituted thiazol‐4‐yl)benzenamine followed by cyclo‐condensation with thioglycolic acid in toluene. All the newly synthesized compounds were characterized by spectral (IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and Mass) methods. The title compounds were screened for quantitative antibacterial activity (minimal inhibitory concentration). All compounds 7a , 7b , 7c , 7d , 7e , 7f , 7g , 7h and 8a , 8b , 8c , 8d , 8e , 8f , 8g , 8h show moderate to good antimicrobial activity, whereas compounds ( 7a , 7b , 7c , 7d , 7e , 7f , 7g , 7h ) also show moderate antifungal activity.     

1‐(2,5‐Di­chloro­phenyl)‐3‐methyl‐5‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazole

The title compound, C₁₆H₁₂Cl₂N₂, crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P2₁/c. Two independent but chemically identical mol­ecules comprise the asymmetric unit and in each of these the pyrazole ring is planar.     

Reaction of 3‐aminoquinoline‐2,4‐diones with isocyanates. Synthesis of novel 3‐(3′‐alkyl/arylureido)quinoline‐2,4‐diones and their cyclic carbinolamide isomers

3‐Alkyl/aryl‐3‐amino‐1H,3H‐quinoline‐2,4‐diones react with alkyl/aryl isocyanates to give novel 3‐alkyl/aryl‐3‐ureido‐1H,3H‐quinoline‐2,4‐diones or 3a‐alkyl/aryl‐9b‐hydroxy‐3,3a,5,9b‐tetrahydro‐1H‐imidazo[4,5‐c]quinoline‐2,4‐diones. In some cases, a mixture of both products was obtained and separated by fractional crystallization. All compounds were characterized by their ¹H, ¹³C, ir and ms data and some of them also by ¹⁵N nmr data.     

1‐(4‐Chloro­phenyl)‐2‐methyl‐4‐nitro‐5‐(1‐piperidyl)‐1H‐imidazole

The only specific inter­actions that influence the crystal packing of the title compound, C₁₅H₁₇ClN₄O₂, are weak C—H⋯N and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, even though there is a possibility of, for example, π–π stacking or halogen bonding. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the imidazole and benzene rings is 59.82 (5)°. The length of the C—N bond connecting the imidazole and piperidine fragments is correlated with the degree of pyramidalization of the piperidine N atom.     

3‐(4‐Acetyl­phenyl)‐1‐(4‐nitro­phenyl)­triazene

The crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₂N₄O₃, shows that the stereochemistry about the N=N double bond of the N=N—N(H) moiety is trans. The whole mol­ecule is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0654 Å), the interplanar angle between the phenyl rings being 0.7 (1)° and the largest interplanar angle being that between the phenyl ring and the nitro group of the 4‐nitro­phenyl substituent [11.5 (2)°]. Intermolecular N—H⋯O interactions between mol­ecules related by translation give rise to chains along the [110] and [10] directions, and these chains are held together by N⋯O π–π interactions. An unequal distribution of the double‐bond character among the N atoms suggests a delocalization of π electrons over the diazo­amine group and the adjacent aryl substituents.     

Synthesis of 1,3‐thiazole and 1,2,4‐oxadiazole substituted spiro[3H‐indole‐3,2′‐thiazolidine]‐2,4′(1H)‐diones

Some new derivatives of spiro[3H‐indole‐3,2′‐thiazolidine]‐2,4′(1H)‐dione with the heterocyclic ring such as substituted thiazole and 1,2,4‐oxadiazole attached to the indolinone ring via CH₂ linkage has been synthesized in moderate yields. The synthesis have been carried out by making use of the reactivity of the NH group of the indolinone moiety present in spiro[3H‐indole‐3,2′‐thiazolidine]‐2,4′(1H)‐dione.     

A facile synthesis of substituted 3‐amino‐1H‐quinazoline‐2,4‐diones

A new synthesis of a series of 3‐amino‐1H‐quinazoline‐2,4‐diones is described. The 1H‐quinazoline‐2,4‐dione 10 was made starting with fluorobenzoic acid in three high yielding steps. The key step of this synthesis involved the generation of the dianion of urea 7 and the subsequent intramolecular nucleophilic displacement of the 2‐fluoro to form the quinazolinedione ring. The 3‐amino moiety was incorporated using (2,4‐dinitro‐phenyl)‐hydroxylamine as the aminating reagent.     

1,3‐Dipolar Cycloadditions to (5Z)‐1‐Acyl‐5‐(cyanomethylidene)‐ imidazolidine‐2,4‐diones: Synthesis and Transformations of Spirohydantoin Derivatives

Cycloadditions of various 1,3‐dipoles to (5Z)‐1‐acyl‐5‐(cyanomethylidene)‐3‐methylimidazolidine‐2,4‐diones 8 or 9 , prepared in 3 steps from hydantoin ( 1 ) (Schemes 1 and 2), were studied. In all cases, reactions proceeded regio‐ and stereoselectively. The type of product depended on the 1,3‐dipole and/or dipolarophile employed as well as on reaction conditions. Thus, with stable dipoles under neutral conditions, spirohydantoin derivatives 12 – 16 were obtained (Scheme 2), while under basic or acidic conditions, pyrazole‐ or isoxazole‐5‐carboxamides 18 and 23 – 26 and carboxylate 27 were formed via aromatization of the newly formed dihydroazole ring, followed by the simultaneous cleavage of the hydantoin ring (Schemes 3 – 5).     

3‐Methyl 5‐isopropyl 2‐methoxy­imino­methyl‐6‐methyl‐4‐(3‐nitro­phenyl)‐1,4‐di­hydro­pyridine‐3,5‐di­carboxyl­ate

The crystal structure of the title compound, C₂₀H₂₃N₃O₇, consists of relatively isolated mol­ecules. The substituted 1,4‐di­hydro­pyridine ring adopts a flattened boat conformation. Both ester groups, at positions 3 and 5, have cis,cis geometry. The phenyl ring is nearly planar and is approximately perpendicular to the 1,4‐di­hydro­pyridine ring (dihedral angle 87.70°).     

Synthesis,Characterization and Crystal Structure of Some Novel 1‐(3,5‐Dimethyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐1‐yl)‐3‐(substituted anilino)propan‐1‐ones

Michael addition of some substituted anilines to methyl acrylate in acidic medium afforded the methyl 3-(substituted anilino)propionates (1a—1i), which on treatment with hydrazine hydrate in methanol were converted into corresponding 3-(substituted anilino) propionohydrazides (2a—2i) in good yields. Microwave irradiation of the latter with pentane-2,4-dione afforded 1-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-3-(substituted anilino)propan-1-ones (3a—3i) under solventless conditions. The structures were confirmed by spectroscopic data, elemental analyses and in case of the 3h by single crystal X-ray diffraction data.     

Synthesis of 2‐(1‐methyl‐1,2,5,6‐tetrahydropyridin‐3‐yl)benzimidazoles

A useful approach for the synthesis of pharmacologically active tetrahydropyridinylbenzimidazoles is described. 2‐Pyridin‐3‐ylbenzimidazoles 3a‐d have been synthesized by condensation of 3‐pyridinecarbox‐aldehyde 1 with substituted 1,2‐phenylenediamines 2a‐d following oxidative cyclization with iodobenzene diacetate. Methylation of 3a‐d with iodomethane and potassium hydroxide, subsequent formation of methylpyridinium salts 4a‐d and 7a‐d and reduction thereafter afforded tetrahydropyridinylbenzimidazoles 5a‐d and 8a‐d .     

A linear solvation energy relationship study for the reactivity of 2‐(4‐substituted phenyl)‐cyclohex‐1‐enecarboxylic, 2‐(4‐substituted phenyl)‐benzoic,and 2‐(4‐substituted phenyl)‐acrylic acids with diazodiphenylmethane in various solvents

The reactivities of 2‐(4‐substituted phenyl)‐cyclohex‐1‐enecarboxylic acids, 2‐(4‐substituted phenyl)‐benzoic acids, and 2‐(4‐substituted phenyl)‐acrylic acids with diazodiphenylmethane in various solvents were investigated. To explain the kinetic results through solvent effects, the second‐order rate constants of the examined acids were correlated using the Kamlet–Taft solvatochromic equation. The correlations of the kinetic data were carried out by means of multiple linear regression analysis, and the solvent effects on the reaction rates were analyzed in terms of initial and transition state contributions. The signs of the equation coefficients support the proposed reaction mechanism. The solvation models for all investigated carboxylic acids are suggested. The quantitative relationship between the molecular structure and the chemical reactivity is discussed, as well as the effect of geometry on the reactivity of the examined molecules. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In order to obtain structural information, sulfoxide 7g was characterized by X‐ray diffraction analysis. The preliminary bioassay indicated that the compounds 6a and 7g exhibit potential antitumor activity. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
