Studies with arylhydrazonopyridinones: Synthesis of new arylhydrazono thieno[3,4-c]pyridinones as novel D2T2 dye class; classical verse green methodologies

A variety of arylhydrazonopyridinones were prepared via heating cyanoacetamides with ethyl acetoacetate in absence of solvent under reflux conventionally or ultrasound irradiation or in a microwave oven. The formed products 5 and 6 could be readily converted to thienopyridones. Attempted addition of the latter to electron poor olefins afforded only arylhydrazonopyridinones.     

A simplified green chemistry approaches to synthesis of 2-substituted 1,2,3-triazoles and 4-amino-5-cyanopyrazole derivatives conventional heating versus microwave and ultrasound as ecofriendly energy sources

Cyanoacetamides 3 were prepared via reacting ethyl cyanoacetate with benzylamine. Yields and reaction times needed for reaction completion at room temperature, by microwaves (μω) heating and under ultrasound (US) irradiations are compared. The formed cyanoacetamides were coupled with aromatic diazonium salts and the formed arylhydrazones were used as precursors to title triazoles and pyrazoles via reacting the former with hydroxylamine and chloroacetonitrile. Yields of products formed via conventional heating are compared with those of μω and US irradiation.     

Galerkin-FEM for obtaining the numerical solution of the linear fractional Klein-Gordon equation

In this paper, an efficient numerical method for solving the linear fractional Klein-Gordon equation (LFKGE) is introduced. The proposed method depends on the Galerkin finite element method (GFEM) using quadratic B-spline base functions and replaces the Caputo fractional derivative using $L2$ discretization formula. The introduced technique reduces LFKGE to a system of algebraic equations, which solved using conjugate gradient method. The study the stability analysis to the approximation obtained by the proposed scheme is given. To test the accuracy of the proposed method we evaluated the error norm $L_{2}$. It is shown that the presented scheme is unconditionally stable. Numerical example is given to show the validity and the accuracy of the introduced algorithm.     

Microwave assisted condensation reactions of 2-aryl hydrazonopropanals with nucleophilic reagents and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate

The reaction of methyl ketones 1a-g with dimethylformamide dimethylacetal (DMFDMA) afforded the enaminones 2a-g, which were coupled with diazotized aromatic amines 3a,b to give the corresponding aryl hydrazones 6a-h. Condensation of compounds 6a-h with some aromatic heterocyclic amines afforded iminoarylhydrazones 9a-m. Enaminoazo compounds 12a,b could be obtained from condensation of 6c with secondary amines. The reaction of 6e,h with benzotriazolylacetone yielded 14a,b. Also, the reaction of 6a,b,d-f,h with glycine and hippuric acid in acetic anhydride afforded pyridazinone derivatives 17a-f. Synthesis of pyridazine carboxylic acid derivatives 22a,b from the reaction of 6b,e with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) in the presence of triphenylphosphine at room temperature is also reported. Most of these reactions were conducted under irradiation in a microwave oven in the absence of solvent in an attempt to improve the product yields and to reduce the reaction times.     

Studies with enaminones: Formation of a N,O‐cyclicacetal on coupling of 3‐dimethylamino‐1‐hydroxyphenyl‐2‐propenone with arenediazonium salts

Coupling the title compound 3 with arenediazonium salts affords the arylhydrazonochromones 6 . The latter compounds react with hydrazine hydrate to yield novel pyrazoles 11 .     

Molecular imprinted polymer for β-carotene for application in palm oil mill effluent treatment

Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is one of the most significant pollutant in the form of wastewater. It could have negative effects on the environment include the emission of biogas and water pollution which comes from discharging the brownish tick POME to the water bodies if not properly managed. Discharge of dark brownish colored of POME directly into water bodies may affect the aquatic life as it will reduce sunlight penetration and suppress the photosynthetic activity. A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for removal of β-carotene from POME has been aimed to develope in this study. The preparation of β-carotene imprinted and non-imprinted polymer (NIP) involves polymerization of β-carotene (or without it) with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD), 9-vinylcarbazole (9VC), tolylene diisocyanate (TDI) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as the monomer, co-monomer, cross-linker and solvent (porogen), respectively. Analysis from FTIR showed that MIP and NIP have similar characteristic peak with different peaks intensity, indicating the similarity in the backbone structure of polymerization. TGA result displayed high thermal stability with final decomposition at 320 °C for MIP-β-CD-9VC as compared to NIP-β-CD-9VC. The pH study shows that sorption of β-carotene increased with decreasing the pH of POME and the maximum sorption capacities achieved at pH 2 were 10 μg/g and 7 μg/g for MIP-β-CD-9VC and NIP-β-CD-9VC, respectively. The maximum sorption achieved by using 500 mg of MIP as the sorption of β-carotene increased with increasing the dosage of MIP. Kinetic model evaluation has been applied on this prepared materials. The sorption equilibrium data was well described by Freundlich model. The results indicated that the sorption of β-carotene on MIP follows a pseudo–second–order kinetic.     

A study of the reaction of 2-thiazolin-4-ones with some electrophiles under microwave irradiation versus conventional condition

Coupling of 5-dimethylaminomethylene-3-methyl-2-(pyridine-2-ylimino)-thiazolidin-4-one (3) with diazotized methyl anthranilate afforded the 3-methyl-5-(2-methoxycarbonylphenylhydrazono)-2-pyridine-2-ylimino)thiazolidin-4-one (5). Reaction of 2-(arylamino)thiazol-4-ones 1a,b with arylidenemalononitriles under microwave irradiation gave 2-substituted amino-5-arylidenethiazolin-4-ones 9a–f. Alternatively, compound 9 could also be obtained by reacting compound 1 with aromatic aldehydes. Treatment of compound 9 with acetic acid yielded the corresponding thiazolin-2,4-diones 10. However, the reaction of 1 with cyanoacetic acid yielded the corresponding 4-cyanoacetyl derivative 12, in good yield. The ¹H, ¹³C NMR spectra of some representative products and X-ray crystal structure determination are discussed.     

Green chemistry: A facile synthesis of polyfunctionally substituted thieno[3,4-c]pyridinones and thieno[3,4-d]pyridazinones under neat reaction conditions

A facile, solvent free, ecofriendly approach for the synthesis of pyridine-2,6-diones 4a–d, pyridazinone derivatives 8a–c and thienoazines 6 and 9 is herein described employing neat reaction conditions under both microwave and ultrasound irradiations. This solventless methodology is environmentally benign as it completely eliminates the use of solvent from the reaction procedure.     

Microwave and ultrasound promoted synthesis of substituted new arylhydrazono pyridinones

A variety of arylhydrazonopyridinones 6a,b were prepared via heating cyanoacetamide derivative with ethyl acetoacetate in the absence of solvent under reflux conventionally or ultrasound irradiation or in a microwave oven then coupling with heteroaromatic diazonium salts. Several attempts were made to synthesize corresponding aminothienopyridinones 7a,b from 6a,b. Also, attempts to add electron poor olefins to 6a,b have failed and only arylhydrazonopyridinones recovered.
