First stereoselective total synthesis of Neocosmosin A: a facile approach

First stereoselective concise synthesis of Neocosmosin A, with in vitro binding affinity for human opioid and cannabinoid receptors, has been reported using readily available starting materials such as methylacetoacetate, cyclohexanone, and homoallyl alcohol involved in the key transformations. There are three fragments involved in the synthesis of target molecule, bearing acid functionality, (R)-pent-4-en-2-ol, and Weinreb amide which are synthesized in four, eight, and three steps, respectively. Then the fragments were coupled in four steps to yield the target molecule in an overall yield of 28.6%.

Schiff Base Functionalized 1,2,4-Triazole and Pyrene Derivative for Selective and Sensitive Detection of Cu2+ ion in the Mixed Organic- Aqueous Media

We have prepared Schiff base functionalized 1,2,4-triazole and pyrene derivative for selective, sensitive, and naked eye colorimetric detection of Cu²⁺ in the mixed organic- aqueous media. Amongst the 18 different metal ions studied for absorption and fluorescence titration, only Cu²⁺ ion encourages the modification in spectral properties of Schiff base functionalized 1,2,4-Triazole and Pyrene Probe. The stoichiometric ratio of the TP-Cu²⁺ complex was determined to be 2:1 according to Job’s plot. The lower detection limit estimated for Cu²⁺ is 0.234 nM which shows excellent sensitivity and selectivity of the present analytical method towards detection of Cu²⁺ ion in the mixed organic-aqueous media. The present approach has been successfully utilized for the quantitative determination of Cu²⁺ ion from environmental aqueous solution.

Eco-friendly synthesis of benzimidazole derivatives using solid acid scolecite catalyst

<正>A series of benzimidazole derivatives were synthesized expeditiously in good yields by condensation of 1,2-diaminobenzene and aromatic aldehydes in the presence of modified scolecite catalyst.The world wide availability,easy handling and reusability of catalyst,higher yields and shorter reaction times are the advantages of the present method.     

Design,Synthesis, Photophysical Properties,Biological Estimation and Molecular Docking Studies of Novel Schiff Base Derivatives as Potential Urease Inhibitors

A quinoline functionalized two novel fluorescent Schiff bases, N-(quinolin-2-ylmethylene) anthracen-1-amine (SB1) and 2-(quinolin-2-ylmethyleneamino) benzene thiol (SB2) were synthesized and confirmed by using ¹H NMR, IR and GC-MS techniques. The spectroscopic properties were examined by absorption spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy. The absorption and fluorescence spectra of the probes (SB1 and SB2) were measured in a variety of solvents. Both the compounds were tested for urease inhibitory activity. The synthesized compound SB2 proved to be the most effective screening for enzyme inhibitory activity with IC₅₀?=?0.111 μM than SB1 (IC₅₀?=?0.287 μM). Molecular docking studies were performed to delineate the binding affinity and conformational positions of chemical compounds within the active region of the target protein. In-vitro analysis depicts the potency of SB1 in free radical scavenging as compared to the reference drug vitamin C.
