Synthesis of nitropyrazolidines

Synthesis of 1, 2‐diacetyl‐4, 4‐dinitropyrazolidine 1 and results of further nitration of the 1,2‐diacetyl‐4,4‐dinitropyrazolidine are described.     

Convenient way to 5‐substituted 4‐amino‐2,3‐dihydro‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3‐thiones

Various 4‐amino‐2,3‐dihydro‐4H‐triazoles with aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic substituents at the C(5) position were synthesized from corresponding esters and thiocarbohydrazide. This method allows the synthesis these heterocycles in a short time and at reduced expenses.     

A novel synthesis of some 2‐imino‐4‐thiazolidinone derivatives

An efficient and simple route is presented to the synthesis of some iminothiazolidinone derivatives. α‐Chloro amide derivatives undergo coupling reaction with isothiocyanate in the presence of a mild base, followed by nucleophilic substitution of chlorine by the sulfur atom of isothiocyanate.     

Synthesis and herbicidal activity of 2‐(3‐(trifluoromethyl)‐5‐(alkoxy)‐1H‐pyrazol‐1‐yl)‐4‐aryloxypyrimidine derivatives

A series of 2‐(3‐(trifluoromethyl)‐5‐(alkoxy)‐1H‐pyrazol‐1‐yl)‐4‐aryloxypyrimidine derivatives were designed and synthesized. The structures of all the title compounds were confirmed by ¹H NMR and elementary analysis. These compounds were screened for herbicidal activity against rape and barnyard grass. Compound B13 exhibited moderate herbicidal activity.
