Facile Synthesis of Novel Pentofuranose Analogs of Phospha Sugar Derivatives

Novel pentofuranose analogs of phospha sugar derivatives were synthesized starting from 1-phenyl-2-phospholene 1-oxide ( 1 ). First, the allylic oxidation of 1-phenyl-2-phospholene 1-oxide ( 1 ) with CrO 3 in Ac 2 O-AcOH or 3-hydroxy-1-phenyl-2-phospholene ( 2 ) with MnO 2 afforded 1-phenyl-4-oxo-2-phospholene 1-oxide ( 3 ). The C-5 alkylation of 3 in the presence of NaH by using benzyl bromide or methyl iodide as electrophiles afforded the target title compounds.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Homoleptic and Heteroleptic Complexes Involving Dithiocarbamates,Triphenylphosphine, and Nickel(II)

Abstract

Six new nickel complexes of two dithiocarbamate ligands (cyfdtc = N-cyclohexyl-N- furfuryldithiocarbamate and bztpedtc = N-benzyl-N-[2-thiophenylethyl]dithiocarbamate) namely, (Ni[cyfdtc]₂) (1), (Ni[bztpedtc]₂) (2), (Ni[cyfdtc][NCS][PPh₃]) (3), (Ni[bztpedtc] [NCS][PPh₃]) (4), (Ni[cyfdtc][PPh₃]₂)ClO₄ (5), and (Ni[bztpedtc][PPh₃]₂)ClO₄ (6) have been prepared and characterized using IR, electronic, and NMR (¹H and ¹³C) spectra. A single crystal X-ray structural analysis was carried out for complex 3 and showed that nickel is in a distorted square planar arrangement with the NiS₂PN chromophore. The shift in ν_C?N of the heteroleptic complexes to higher frequencies compared with the parent complex is assigned to mesomeric delocalization of electron density from the

dithiocarbamate ligand toward the metal atom, which increases the contribution of polar thioureide form in mixed ligand complexes. Electronic spectral studies suggest square planar geometry for the complexes. In the ¹³C NMR spectra, the upfield shift of NCS₂ carbon signal for 3 and 4 from the chemical shift value of 1 and 2 is due to effect of PPh₃ on the mesomeric drift of electron density toward nickel throughout thioureide C?N bond.     

SYNTHESIS OF SOME SULFUR-CONTAINING SPIROINDOLE DERIVATIVES

Abstract

The synthesis of some new sulfur-containing spiroindole derivatives is reported. Fluorinated 3′-aryl-2′-phenylimino-spiro[3H-indole-3,6′[4,5′-pyrazolin][4,3-d]thiazolo]2(1H)-ones were prepared by the reaction of 5-(2-oxo-3-indolinylidene)-3-aryl-2-phenylimino-4-thiazolidinones with hydrazine hydrate. The compounds have been characterized on the basis of elemental and spectral studies.     

Polyethylene glycol (PEG-400): An efficient one-pot green synthesis and anti-viral activity of novel α-diaminophosphonates

Abstract

An efficient and eco-friendly protocol has been accomplished for a series of novel α-diaminophosphonates by a one-pot, three-component system via Kabachnik-Fields reaction of 4,4′-methylenedianiline, a variety of aryl/heteroaryl aldehydes and diphenylphosphite employing polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) as a green solvent at 80?°C. All products were obtained in good to excellent yields (80–95%). The identity of the new synthesized compounds was confirmed by IR, ¹H, 13C, and 31P NMR, LC-MS and elemental analysis. In vivo anti-viral activity was evaluated against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). Compounds 4b, 4c, 4j and 4k exhibited the highest anti-viral activities against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) when compared with the standard drug ningnanmycin.     

Electrical,Mechanical, and Thermal Properties of Poly(4,4′-Cyclohexylidene Diphenylene-m-Benzene/Toluene-2,4-Disulfonate)

Abstract

The films of poly(4,4′-cyclohexylidene diphenylene-m-benzene disulfonate) (PSBB, 0.610 mm thick) and poly(4,4′-cyclohexylidene diphenylene-toluene-2,4-disulfonate) (PSBT, 0.537 mm thick) showed 8.23 ± 0.25 and 9.6 ± 0.245 kV, respectively, as the dielectric breakdown voltage (ac) in air at room temperature. The same films have 8.8 × 10¹¹ and 7.2 × 10¹⁴ ω°Cm volume resistivity. PSBB (40 μm thick) and PSBT (50 μm thick) films have tensile strengths of 1971 and 1677 kg/cm² and percent elongations of 1.3 and 1.2, respectively. The static hardnesses of PSBB (0.178 mm thick) and PSBT (0.190 mm thick) at three different loads (15–60 g) are 12.8–15.5 and 14.5–16.5 kg/mm², respectively. PSBB and PSBT are thermally stable up to about 355°C in an N₂ atmosphere and involve two-step degradation. DSC and DTA showed T _g at about 125–127 and 138–142°C, respectively, for PSBB and PSBT in N₂. PSBB and PSBT have comparable breakdown voltages and volume resistivity with some useful plastics whereas they have superior T _g and thermal stability with retention of excellent solubility in common solvents over polysulfonates without a cardo group. Thus, the cardo (cyclo-hexyl) group has enhanced thermal and mechanical properties with excellent solubility and easy processing.     

Synthesis,characterization and antimicrobial activities of copper complexes derived from 4-aminoantipyrine derivatives

Cu(II) complexes have been synthesized from the Schiff base ligands derived from furfurlyidene-4-aminoantipyrine and aniline (L¹)/p-nitroaniline (L²)/p-hydroxyaniline (L³). They were characterized using analytical and spectral techniques. All the Cu(II) complexes exhibit square planar geometry. The X-band ESR spectra of the copper complexes in DMSO solution at 300 and 77 K were recorded and their salient features are reported. The in vitro biological screening effects of the investigated compounds were tested against the bacterial species, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus vulgaris and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and fungal species, Aspergillus niger, Rhizopus stolonifer, Aspergillus flavus, Rhizoctonia bataicola and Candida albicans by serial dilution method. A comparative study of inhibition values of the Schiff base ligands and their complexes indicate that the complexes exhibit higher antimicrobial activity than the Schiff base ligands. Superoxide dismutase and reducing power activities of the copper complexes have also been studied. Depending on the molecular structure, the [CuL²(OAc)₂] complex possess promising SOD mimetic activities.
