Abstract

An open-tubular micro capillary column was prepared by coating the inner wall of a pyrex tube (50 μm i.d.) with polyamide. Chromatographic behaviors of trace amounts of various phenolic compounds, benzoic acid derivatives and aromatic amino and nitro compounds, were examined on this column.     

Selection of the Mobile Phase for Enantiomeric Resolution via Chiral Stationary Phase Columns

Abstract

The optimization of enantiomeric resolution by mobile phase variation was studied with the chiral stationary phase derived from R-N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl) phenylglycine covalently coupled to 5 μm spherical 3-aminopropyl silica. Chromatography was routinely performed with mobile phase compositions having polarities as high as 2.5 without column deterioration. The relative strength of a solvent as a hydrogen acceptor was found to be an important basis for selection of the polar component in a binary mobile phase. The substitution of tert-butanol for 2-propanol or ethanol in an alcohol/hexane mixture, for example, afforded improved separation factors with several enantiomers. In addition, the need for a polar mobile phase such as 50/50 methylene chloride/hexane to minimize non-specific polar absorption of enantiomers has been demonstrated. Enhancement of specific chiral interactions and suppression of interfering reactions have been obtained with a number of clinically relevant derivatives as model compounds.     

THE REACTIONS OF SOME 2-NITROPHENYL SULPHIDES IN 98% SULPHURIC ACID

Abstract

The coloured solutions of 2-nitrobenzenesulphenyl derivatives in 98% sulphuric acid have previously been suggested to contain either the conjugate acid of the sulphenyl derivative¹ or the sulphenium ion in equilibrium with the starting material. ¹⁹F n.m.r. studies on solutions of 4-trifluoromethyl-2-nitrobenzenesulphenyl derivatives show that these compounds react in sulphuric acid to give the corresponding 2-amino- and 2-nitro-benzenesulphonic acids together with other products.     

Synthesis and biological assessment of novel cyanopyridine derivatives

New pyridine derivatives bearing p-dimethyl amino phenyl and p-bromophenyl moieties at position-4 and 6 have been prepared. The behavior of pyridone derivative 2 toward ethyl chloroacetate followed by hydrazine hydrate gave pyridinyl acetohydrazide derivative 7, and its behavior toward carbon electrophiles has been investigated by its reaction with aromatic aldehydes, ethyl acetoacetate, acetyl acetone, cyclohexanone, phthalic anhydride, maleic anhydride, and isatin affording the pyridine derivatives 8a–e to 16, respectively. Treatment of compound 2 with acrylonitrile in Et₃N, yielded the N- alkylated derivative 17. Some pyrazole derivatives have been synthesized by interaction of the chalcone 1 with hydrazine hydrate afforded pyrazole derivative 18. Treatment of compound 18 with benzoyl chloride and or acetic anhydride resulted in the formation of the acylated compounds 19 and 20. Elemental and spectroscopic pieces of evidence characterized all the newly synthesized compounds. Some of the synthesized compounds were tested for their antibacterial activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.     

<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-Alkoxy-3,5-dinitro-4-aminobenzoic acid derivatives with controlled physico-chemical properties

Starting from 4-chloro-3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid 1, compounds 2–10 (N-alkoxy-3,5-dinitro-4-aminobenzoic acid esters where alkoxy stands for methoxy, carboxymethoxy, triphenylmethoxy, or corresponding amides) have been obtained, from which compounds 3–5 and 7–10 are new, and for the known compounds 2 and 6 the synthetic procedure has been improved. The new derivatives have been characterized by appropriate means (IR, UV–Vis, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR, fluorescence) and their properties were studied. Thus, depending on their structure, the compounds have acid properties, fluorescence and complexing properties with alkaline cations.     

Molecular Search of New Active Drugs Against Toxoplasma Gondii

Abstract

Molecular connectivity has been applied to the search of new compounds with activity against the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii, using a stepwise linear discriminant analysis (SLDA) which is able to classify a compound according its activity either as active or as inactive. Among the selected compounds, andrographolide and dibenzotiophene sulfone stand out, both with IC₅₀ values lower than 1 μg/m1, which are comparable to these of drugs such as sulfamethoxazole, pyrimethamine and trimethoprim, with IC₅₀ values equal to 1.1, 0.04 and 2.31 μg/ml, respectively. These results confirm the usefulness of our topological approach for the selection and design of new-lead drugs active against Toxoplasma gondii.

Bis-Thiourea Bearing Aryl and Amino Acids Side Chains and Their Antibacterial Activities

Abstract

A series of symmetrical 1,3-bis thiourea 1a–e and 1,4-bis thiourea derivatives 2a–e have been successfully synthesized from the reactions of amines with 3-acetylbenzoyl isothiocyanate and 4-acetylbenzoyl isothiocyanate, respectively. All the synthesized compounds were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity by turbidimetric method using gram-negative bacteria (E. coli ATCC 8739) using turbidimetric method. The newly synthesized bis-thiourea derivatives bearing aryl side chains showed good antibacterial activity against E. coli. The effect of the molecular structure of the synthesized compounds on the antibacterial activity is discussed.

New Types of Functionally Substituted Methylphosphonites and Their Derivatives

Abstract

Organophosphorus compounds containing a functional group in the a-position of the alkyl radical are of great interest in both theoretical fundamental investigations and for practical applications. Functionally substituted methyl-phosphonites and their derivatives, belonging to this broad class of organophosphorus compounds, are convenient objects for investigating mutual effects of trivalent phosphorus and a heteroatom, or functional groups attached to it in the a-position. They have also become key substances in obtaining new organophosphorus compounds. Functionally sub-stituted compounds of tetracoordinated phosphorus have been intensively investigated in recent years; rather convenient methods of synthesis of these compounds have been proposed and their properties have been studied in detail¹. However, the corresponding compounds of tricoordinated phosphorus are not available or difficult to obtain. Recently we re-ported on the properties of halogen-substituted methylphos-phines and their derivatives². The present paper is devoted to the synthesis and investigation of the reactivity of alkoxy-, dialkylamino- and carbonyl substituted methylphos-phonites and their derivatives. In synthesis of alkoxymeth-ylphosphonites and their analogs we were the first to use labile alkoxymethylmagnesium chlorides in the reactions with tricoordinated phosphorus acid chlorides³. Previously unknown dialkoxymethylphosphonites and their analogs were obtained from hypophosphorous acid and trialkylorthofor-mates. The process of esterification and dialkoxymethylat-ion of hypophosphorous acid, being dependent on a catalyst, proceeds in different ways and results in the formation of dialkoxymethylphosphonite structures

The Synthesis and Antimicrobial Screening of Some Novel AZA-Imidoxy Compounds as Potential Chemotherapeutic Agents

Some novel azaimidoxy compounds viz. 2-{[(4-chlorophenyl)diazenyl]oxy}-1H-isoindole-1,3-(2H)-dione (Va), and 1-{[1-naphthyldiazenyl]oxy}pyrrolidine-2,5-dione (IVc), etc. have been synthesized by a simple diazotization reaction followed by a coupling with 2-hydroxy-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione (III)/1-hydroxypyrrolidine-2,5-dione (II) of corresponding aromatic primary amine derivatives at a suitable pH. A similar reaction with a [1,3]thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-amine (VIII) lead us to some interesting results variable with a pH. The structure of all synthesized compounds has been established by IR, ¹H NMR, and mass studies. These compounds have been screened for antimicrobial activities in order to evaluate the possibility of the derivatives to be used as potential chemotherapeutic agents.     

12-Membered crown ethers. Lipophilic derivatives of benzo- and naphtho-12-crown-4 and their membrane electrode properties. Crystal structures of benzo-12-crown-4 NaI and KI complexes

Lipophilic derivatives of benzo-12-crown-4 and naphtho-12-crown-4 have been synthesized. The behavior of the parent compounds and their derivatives in membrane ion-selective electrodes have been studied. Selectivity changes have been observed with the rise in lipophilicity. Crystal structures of the NaI and KI complexes of benzo-12-crown-4 (1 and2) have been determined by X-ray analysis. The alkali metal and iodide ions are in direct contact in2 but not in1. Compound1 [Na(benzo-12-crown-4)₂]·I is triclinic, witha=13.368(8),b=10.727(7),c=10.325(4) Å; =73.56(4),=77.73(4), =108.70(5)°;Z=2, space group is . Compound2 [K(benzo-12-crown-4)₂·I] is monoclinic, witha=15.807(8),b=12.043(4),c=15.601(6) Å,=117.74(3)°;Z=4, space groupC2/c. In both compounds the cations interact with all oxygen atoms of two crown ether molecules. Correlation of the crystal structures and behavior of the crown ethers in ion-selective membrane electrodes is discussed.

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of N,N′-di(thiopheneacetyl)diamines Series as Antitubercular Agents

The series of new N,N′-di(thiopheneacetyl)diamines derivatives, 8–17, were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antibacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis(TB), and the activity expressed as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in μ g/mL. Compound 13 was the only one determined to be active and exhibited a MIC 50 μg/mL, indicating that the alkyl chain-length of the diamines is critical for biological activity. This class of compound has not been evaluated before, and it could be a good starting point to find new lead compounds in the fight against multi-drug resistant TB.     

Synthesis of some novel pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolines and their fused derivatives

New pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazoline-3-carbonitriles 4a,b were obtained via cyclocondensation of 5-amino-3-cyanomethyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonitrile (1) with enaminones of 1,3-cyclohexanedione derivatives 2a,b in refluxing glacial acetic acid. Condensation of compounds 4a,b with various aromatic aldehydes furnished the corresponding arylidene derivatives 6a–j. On the other hand, condensation of 4a,b with o-hydroxybenzaldehydes yielded the polyheterocyclic compounds 10a–h. Coupling of compounds 4a,b with aryldiazonium chlorides led to formation of 2-arylhydrazono derivatives 12a–h. Also, reaction of compounds 4a,b with phenyl isothiocyanate, followed by addition of ethyl chloroacetate and chloroacetonitrile, afforded the polyheterocyclic compounds based on pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazoline core. The reaction of compounds 4a,b with phenyl isothiocyanate and elemental sulfur gave the thiazole-2-thione derivatives 25a,b. The reaction of enamines of compounds 4a,b with each of hydrazine hydrate and guanidine hydrochloride afforded pyrazolo[4″,3″:5′,6′]pyrido[4′,3′:3,4]pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolin-8-ones 30a,b and pyrimido[5″,4″:5′,6′]pyrido[4′,3′:3,4]pyrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolin-9(10H)-ones 33a,b, respectively. The structures of all the newly synthesized compounds were elucidated by elemental analyses and spectral data. The plausible mechanisms have been postulated to account for their formation.     

The Usefulness of Amino Acid Ester Isothiocyanate Derivatives in GLC Analysis,Pyrolysis Products of Carboalkoxydithiocarbamates

Abstract

Amino acid isothiocyanate derivatives have been used in GC/MS analysis. The best method providing these derivatives is decomposition of carboalkoxydithiocarbamates. Analysis by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry has shown that carbon oxysulfide, methanol, ethanol, amino acid ester isothiocyanate and trace carbon disulfide are pyrolysis products of amino acid ester carboalkoxydithiocarbamates. However, isothermal pyrolysis at 200° and direct MS analysis, FI and EI ionization modes, give rise to a few more by-products with m/z 145 and 177. This suggests a stepwise mechanism of thermal decomposition of the compounds studied. The number of by-products was seen to decrease when the R and R moieties were identical.     

Convenient synthesis,antimicrobial evaluation and molecular modeling of some novel quinoline derivatives

α, β-Unsaturated carbonyl compounds 2a, 2b, 3, and 4 were synthesized by the Knoevenagel condensation between 2-substituted quionoline-3-carboxaldehyde 1a and/or 1b with active methylene compounds. In addition, the synthesis of azlactone is achieved starting from 1a and N-acetylglycine. Synthesis of pyridine, pyrene, and pyrimidine derivatives 6–8 were accomplished via one-pot multicomponent reaction of 1b with acetyl acetone, malononitrile, and ammonium acetate; acetophenone, malononitrile, and NaOH; or acetyl acetone and urea in acidic medium. The new synthesized compounds showed good antimicrobial activities. The DFT calculations have been used to predict the electronic properties of the studied compounds.

Abstract

In this study, a new series of quinazoline and their annulated derivatives have been synthesized. A number of quiazolinone derivatives substituted at position-3 were prepared from 3, 1-benzoxazinone by the treatment of 3,1-benzoxazinone with different nitrogen nucleophiles such as, hydrazine hydrate, phenylhydrazine, ethanolamine, and cyano acetohydrazide afforded the quinazolinone derivatives 7–11. The reaction of hydrazide derivative 5 with aromatic aldehydes gave the Schiff’s bases derivative 16a–c. Some of the synthesized compounds were tested against the breast cancer cell line (MCF-7). The structures of all the newly synthesized compounds were established based on IR, ¹H, ¹³C NMR, mass spectral data, and elemental analyses.
