Synthesis of 1-(5-phenyl-2H-tetrazol-2-ylacetyl)-4-substituted thiosemicarbazides as possible antiinflammatory agents

A series of 1-(5-phenyl-2H-tetrazol-2-ylacetyl)-4-substituted thiosemicarbazids were prepared as possible antiinflammatory agents. Their antiproteolytic activity was reported.     

Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of anti-inflammatory drugs: Phenylbutazone,oxyphenbutazone and indomethacin

The ¹³C nmr chemical shifts of phenylbutazone, oxyphenbutazone, indomethacin and indole-3-acetic acid are reported. The assignments of various carbon resonances are made on the basis of the substitution effects on benzene shifts, multiplicities generated in SFORD spectra, nuclear overhauser enhancement for protonated carbons, and the comparison with analogous compounds.     

Complexes of metal ions with phosphorus or arsenic containing ligands. Part XVIII. Chelates ofo-phenylenebis(diarylarsines) with cobalt(II) and nickel(II) halides and pseudohalides

Summary Ten complexes of nickel(II) and cobalt(II) witho-phenylenebis(diphenylarsine), (pdpa) ando-phenylenebis(di-p-tolylarsine), (pdta) have been synthesised. The stoichiometry of complexes is markedly dependent upon the reaction temperature, thus reaction atca. 0° gives the M(A-A)₂X₂ chelates, [M = Ni, X = Br, (A-A) = pdpa; M = Ni, X = I, (A-A) = pdpa, pdta; M = Co, X = CNS, (A-A) = pdpa] whereas at higher temperatures the M(A-A)X₂ chelates [M = Ni, X = Br, I, (A-A) = pdpa, pdta; M = Co, X = CNS, (A-A) = pdpa or pdta] are obtained. The Ni(A-A)₂I₂ compounds can be converted into Ni(A-A)I₂ by boiling under reflux in n-BuOH; the conversion can be reversed by cooling a CH₂Cl₂ solution of the latter at or below 0°. Stereochemical assignments of all the new complexes have been made on the basis of room temperature _eff values, molar conductance, i.r. and u.v. data.     

4-(Arylaminothiocarbonyl)-1-(1-o-methoxyphenylcarbamido)-ethylpiperazines as anticonvulsants

Several 4-(arylaminothiocarbonyl)-1-(1-o-methoxyphenylcarbamido)-ethylpiperazines were synthesized and evaluated for their anticonvulsant activity against pentylenetetrazol-induced seizures in mice. The ability of substituted piperazines to inhibit in vitro respiratory activity of rat brain homogenates was also determined to study their structure-activity relationship.     

Synthesis of some newer 5-(5-aryl-2H-tetrazol-2-ylmethyl)-4-substituted-s-triazole-3-thiols as possible antiinflammatory agents

Several 1-(5-aryl-2H-tetrazol-2-ylacetyl)-4-substituted thiosemicarbazides and 5-(5-aryl-2H-tetrazol-2-yl-methyl)-4-substituted-s-triazole-3-thiols were synthesized as possible antiinflammatory agents. These compounds were characterized by their elemental, infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis.     

Asymmetric synthesis of (+)-stagonolide C and (−)-aspinolide A via organocatalysis

A new enantioselective synthesis of two important fungal metabolites, (+)-stagonolide C and (?)-aspinolide A, has been described from readily available raw materials. Proline catalyzed asymmetric α-aminooxylation and Jorgensen’s epoxidation of aldehydes are the key reactions employed in the introduction of chirality. The formation of the 10-membered lactone core structure was finally accomplished via Steglich esterification and ring closing metathesis reactions.     

Synthesis and Study of Polymeric Ultraviolet Absorbers. II

Polymeric UV absorbers have been prepared by free-radical solution copolymerization at 75°C of methyl methacrylate and 2-hydroxy-4-methacryloyloxybenzophenone monomers at low conversion (around 10%). The composition of the copolymers was determined by UV, IR, and NMR studies. The molecular weight was estimated by GPC. The reactivity ratios were determined by several methods. Viscosity was used to study the effect of copolymer composition and solvents. The copolymers were also analyzed by TGA and DSC, and DSC was used to study the effect of copolymer composition on T_g.
