The energetic potential of solid composite propellants (SCP) with furazano[3,4-e]di([1,2,4]- triazolo)[4,3-a:3′,4′-c]pyrazine including trinitromethyl (C(NO₂)₃), fluorodinitromethyl (CF(NO₂)₂), and (difluoroamino)dinitromethyl (C(NF₂)(NO₂)₂) groups was estimated based on thermochemical calculations. It was shown that C(NO₂)₃ and C(NF₂)(NO₂)₂ derivatives can constitute the basis of metal-free compositions of SCP with a specific impulse from 251 to 263 s, i.e., comparable or superior in efficiency to HMX-based propellants.

Synthesis and structure of a new heterocyclic system – 7,8-dihydroimidazo- [1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>][1,3]thiazolo[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">e</Emphasis>]pyrimidine

The purpose-directed synthesis of a new heterocyclic system, 7,8-dihydroimidazo[1,2-c][1,3]thia- zolo[4,5-e]pyrimidine has been carried out based on the successive interaction of available 2-(aroyl- aminocyanomethylene)imidazolidines with hydrogen sulfide and triethyl orthoformate with subsequent intramolecular cyclocondensation of the obtained 8-aroylamino-7-thioxo-1,2,3,7-tetrahydroimidazo- [1,2-c]pyrimidines under the action of phosphorus pentasulfide or polyphosphoric acid.     

Carbo[3 + 3] cyclocondensation reactions. A new method for the synthesis of tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]quinazolines and tetrahydropyrazolo[4,5-<Emphasis Type="Italic">b</Emphasis>]quinolines

The cyclocondensation of substituted 5-aminopyrazoles with benzylidene acetone leads to the regioselective synthesis of dihydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines and dihydropyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines containing a methyl group in the six-membered heterocycle. Compounds of both these groups readily undergo carbo[3 + 3] cyclo-condensation with chalcones in butanol under alkaline catalysis conditions and upon heating to give aryl-substituted tetrahydropyrazolo[1,5-b]quinazolines and tetrahydropyrazolo[4,5-b]quinolines. Ultrasonic initiation of these reactions leads to enhanced rate and higher yield of the desired products.

Summary. The reaction of 3-chloro-5,6-diphenylpyridazine-4-carbonitrile with potassium thiocyanate gave the corresponding isothiocyanate derivative. This was reacted with aromatic amines in ethanol to afford pyrimido[4,5-c]pyridazine derivatives. The reaction of the latter compounds with hydrazine hydrate led to the formation of 6-hydrazino derivatives. One hydrazino compound was reacted with a variety of reagents to produce other new pyrimidopyridazines as well as a number of s-triazolo derivatives.

Determination of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">R</Emphasis> ⇄ <Emphasis Type="Italic">S</Emphasis> enantiomerization barrier in 5,6-dihydrobenzoimidazo[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis>]quinazolines

Chiral imidazoquinazolines undergoing thermally induced reversible R ⇄ S enantiomerization have been synthesized by the interaction of 2-(o-aminophenyl)benzimidazoles with aldehydes and ketones. The benzimidazole fragment has been used for the first time as an indicator group in temperature-dependent ¹H NMR spectra for determining the energy barrier of this rearrangement. The effects of nearby substituents on the kinetic and activation parameters, and on the recyclization mechanism have been investigated.     

Сyclization of 1-amino-2-hydrazinobenzimidazole treated with carbon disulfide. Synthesis of 9-amino-2,9-dihydro-3<Emphasis Type="Italic">Н</Emphasis>-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">а</Emphasis>]benzimidazole-3-thione and its derivatives

1-Amino-2-hydrazinobenzimidazole when treated with carbon disulfide underwent a regioselective cyclization involving the hydrazino group to form 9-amino-2,9-dihydro-3Н-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-а]benzimidazole-3-thione. Being an N-amine this compound gives Schiff bases with aromatic aldehydes, and as thione in DMF at a temperature not exceeding 60°С it is successfully alkylated, particularly by functionalized alkylating agents, affording the corresponding sulfanylmethyl derivatives. In boiling DMF, as it is demonstrated by an example of benzyl chlorides, NNH₂ group also undergoes alkylation that unexpectedly results in 4-benzylidenamino-3-benzylsulfanyltriazolobenzimidazoles.

Synthesis, <Emphasis Type="Italic">β</Emphasis>-<Emphasis Type="Italic">Glucuronidase</Emphasis> Inhibition,and Molecular Docking Studies of 1,2,4-Triazole Hydrazones

A series of 1,2,4-triazole hydrazones 1–25 has been synthesized and characterized using different spectroscopic techniques including FT-IR, ¹H-NMR, and ESI MS spectrometry. The synthetic derivatives were evaluated for their β-glucuronidase enzyme inhibition properties. Among them, 17 compounds demonstrated potential inhibitory activity towards β-glucuronidase with IC₅₀ values ranging between 2.50 and 53.70 µM. Compounds 1 having IC₅₀?=?2.50?±?0.01 µM was found to be the most active compound of the series and showed remarkable activity and found to be far more potent than the standard d-saccharic acid 1,4-lactone (IC₅₀?=?48.4?±?1.25 µM). Furthermore, the possible binding interaction of active compounds was explored by in silico studies. These compounds can be used for anti-diabetic drug development process.     

β-oxoacids esters in the synthesis of benzo[<Emphasis Type="Italic">f</Emphasis>]quinoline derivatives

Condensation of ethyl acetoacetate and ethyl 3-oxo-3-(2-furyl-, 2-quinolyl-, 3-pyridyl)propanoates with azomethines of 2-naphthylamine series led to the formation of ethyl (3-arylbenzo[f]quinol-1-yl)acetates and of esters of the corresponding 3-aryl-1-heteryl-2-benzo[f]quinolylcarboxylic acids. The intermediate reaction products were isolated: ethyl 5-(2-naphthylamino)-3-oxo-5-phenylpentanoate, 2-[(aryl)(2-naphthylamino)methyl]-3-heteryl-3-oxopropanoates, dihydro and tetrahydro derivatives of benzoquinolylacetic and benzoquinolinecarboxylic acids.
