An efficient and convenient procedure for the synthesis of 2-alkyl-2-alkoxy-1,2-di(furan-2-yl)ethanone under ultrasound in the presence of solid-liquid phase transfer catalysis conditions

Irradiation with ultrasound is found to facilitate the synthesis of 2-alkyl-2-alkoxy-1,2-di(furan-2-yl)ethanone in the presence of tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) as solid-liquid phase transfer catalysis. A higher yields (>70%) and shorter reaction time (<15 min) give this method obvious advantages over the conventional ones.     

Novel and convenient synthesis of 1-(pyridinylmethyl)-2-naphthols and 1-(pyridinylmethylene)-2-tetralones from 2-tetralones

The reaction of 2/4-pyridine carboxaldehyes with 2-tetralone analogs in the presence of catalytic amounts of Pd/C and trimethylsilyl chloride in DMF resulted in the formation of 1-(pyridin-2/4-ylmethyl)-2-naphthols in moderate to good yields as opposed to the expected 1-(pyridin-2/4-ylmethylene)-2-tetralones. 3-Pyridine carboxaldehyde, however, formed 1-(pyridin-3-ylmethylene)-2-tetralones with 2-tetralone analogs under similar conditions. When representative reactions were repeated in the presence of anhydrous HCl gas in acetic acid, including one with 3-pyridine carboxaldehyde, 1-(pyridinylmethyl)-2-naphthols were the only products obtained with significantly improved yields. A possible mechanism explaining these results is discussed.

In an effort to discover potential cytotoxic agents, a series of novel (Z)-5-((1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)methylene)-3-((1-substituted phenyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)thiazolidine-2,4-dione derivatives (8a–n) were designed and synthesized in various steps with acceptable reaction procedures with quantitative yields and characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR, HRMS and ESI–MS spectra. These newly synthesized novel derivatives were screened for their in vitro cell viability/cytotoxic studies against human breast cancer cell line (MCF-7) with various concentrations of 0.625 µM, 1.25 µM, 2.5 µM, 5 µM and 10 µM, respectively. The biological interpretation assay outcome was demonstrated in terms of cell viability percentage reduction and IC₅₀ values against standard reference drug cisplatin. Based on these results, most of the derivatives exhibited promising cytotoxic activity. Among them, particularly compounds 8j (R₁?=?OMe and R₃?=?NO₂) and 8e (R₃?=?CF₃) demonstrate remarkable cytotoxic activity with IC₅₀ values 0.426 µM?±?0.455 and 0.608 µM?±?0.408, which are even better than the standard drug cisplatin 0.636 µM?±?0.458 and compounds 8m (R₂?=?OMe and R₃?=?OMe) and 8c (R₃?=?OMe) exhibited closely equivalent IC₅₀ values to the standard drug with IC₅₀ values 0.95 µM?±?0.32 and 0.976 µM?±?0.313 and rest of the compounds exhibits moderate cytotoxic activity. Moreover, molecular modeling studies and ADME calculations of the novel synthesized derivatives are in adequate consent with the pharmacological screening results.

     

Electrical and photoresponse characteristics of 8-(1H-indol-3-ylazo)-naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid/n-Si photodiode

In this paper, of primary interest is to synthesis 8-(1H-indol-3-ylazo)-naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid (INSA) and to evaluate the main parameters of Au/INSA/n-Si/Al diode in dark and under illumination. Different techniques are used for interpreting the proposed INSA chemical structure. The dark current-voltage measurements were achieved in the temperature range of 293?413 K. It is noticed that INSA films modify the interfacial barrier height of classical Au/n-Si junction. At low applied voltages, the I–V relation shows exponential behavior. The values ideality factor, n, and the barrier height, φ, are improved by heating. The abnormal trend of n and φ is discussed, and a homogenous barrier height of 1.45 eV is evaluated. The series resistance is also calculated using Norde's function and it changes inversely with temperature. The space charge limited current ruled with exponential trap distribution dominates at relatively high potentials, trap concentration and carriers mobility are extracted. The reverse current of the diode has illumination intensity dependence with a good photosensitivity indicating that the device is promising for photodiode applications.     

Ultrasound assisted green synthesis of bis(indol-3-yl)methanes catalyzed by 1-hexenesulphonic acid sodium salt

The reaction of indole with various aldehydes in water using ultrasound irradiation at ambient temperature for appropriate time using 1-hexenesulphonic acid sodium salt furnish the desired product in good to excellent yield. Utilization of aqueous medium, simple reaction conditions, isolation, and purification makes this manipulation very interesting from an economic and environmental perspective.     

Investigation of Spectroscopic Behaviors of Newly Synthesized (2E)-3-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(2,5-dimethylthiophen-3-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (DDTP) Dye

This study introduced spectroscopic properties, physicochemical parameters, and polarity and photostability behaviors of a newly prepared chalcone dye. The chalcone dye, (2E)-3-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)-1-(2,5-dimethylthiophen-3-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (DDTP), was synthesized by the reaction of 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde with 3-acetyl-2,5-dimethythiophene. Results of FT-IR, ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR and elemental analysis were in conformity with chemical structure of newly prepared DDTP. Data of thermal gravimetric analysis revealed that DDTP has good thermal stability. Increases in fluorescence intensities of DDTP with cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) were observed. In comparison of fluorescence intensities for DDTP with CTAB, reductions in fluorescence intensities for DDTP with sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) were observed under the same experimental and instrumental conditions. Moreover, Benesi-Hildebrand method was applied to determine stoichiometric ratios and association constants of DDTP with CTAB and SDS. The stoichiometric ratio and association constant obtained from Stern-Volmer plot strongly supported those obtained from Benesi-Hildebrand plot of DDTP with SDS. Physicochemical parameters, such as, singlet absorption, molar absorptivity, oscillator strength, dipole moment and fluorescence quantum yield of DDTP were also estimated. Fluorescence steady-state measurements ultimately displayed that DDTP has a high photostability against photobleaching. Fluorescence polarity study revealed that DDTP was sensitive to the polarity of the microenvironment provided by different solvents.     

An unusual synthesis of 3-(2-(arylamino)thiazol-4-yl)-2H-chromen-2-ones from ethyl 2-(chloromethyl)-2-hydroxy-2H-chromene-3-carboxylate via benzopyran ring opening

An unusual and unexpected synthesis of 3-(2-(arylamino)thiazol-4-yl)-2H-chromen-2-ones has been observed by the reaction of ethyl 2-(chloromethyl)-2-hydroxy-2H-chromene-3-carboxylate with various arylthioureas in ethanol under mild reaction conditions with excellent yields. The ambiguity in the structure of the obtained products has been solved by recording its single-crystal X-ray analysis. This protocol has been found to be a novel approach for the preparation of title compounds via benzopyran ring opening. A systematic plausible mechanism has been proposed for the formation of the product. Also, an efficient one-pot three-component method has been demonstrated for the formation of title compounds starting from salicylaldehyde.
