Five novel 3-alkyl-4-phenylacetylamino-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones (2) were synthesized by the reactions of 3-alkyl-4-amino-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones (1) with phenylacetyl chloride and characterized by elemental analyses and IR, 1HNMR, 13C-NMR and UV spectral data. The newly synthesized compounds 2 were titrated potentiometrically with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide in four non-...

A few analogues of atevirdine or 1-[(5-methoxyindol-2-yl) carbonyl]-4-[3- (ethylamino)-2-pyridyl] piperazine – an anti-HIV belonging to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors were synthesized and evaluated for anti-HIV activity. Replacement of indolyl moiety with 2-alkylthio-1-benzyl-5-imidazolyl substituent afforded 1-[2-(alkylthio-1-benzyl-5-imidazolyl) carbonyl]-4-[3-(isopropylamino...

The synthesis and characterization of new 4-[(2-alkyl)-2H-tetrazol-5-yl]phenyl 4-alkyloxybenzoates (5a–i) and 5-{4-[(4-substituted)benzyloxy]phenyl}-2-alkyl-2H-tetrazoles (7a–e) are reported. The reported tetrazoles contain two alkyl chains (six to ten carbon atoms) except for 5h and 7e which have a chiral citronellyl group linked at the N-2 nitrogen atom of the tetrazole ring and 5i having a b...

The evolution and the current trends in a new area of chemistry of organometalloporphyrins, in metalloporphyrin chemistry are reviewed. Synthesis and properties of out of plane, di—nuclear, and "Skewered" metalloporphyrins are described. The new chemistry of metalloporphyrins was initiated by the application of Cr(CO)6, metal carbonyl in general, for insertion of Cr ion (metal ions) into por— p...

In this context, (Caffeine)(tetrahydroborato)zinc complex as white stable reducing agents [Zn(BH 4 ) 2 (caf)], has been prepared by complexation of one equimolar amounts of zinc tetrahydroborate and one equimolar amounts of caffeine at room temperature. Also, [Zn(BH 4 ) 2 (caf) ]has been used for reduce of a variety of carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, α, βunsaturated carbonyl comp...

Acyl derivatives 5a approximately j and alkyl derivatives 7a approximately r of 4-dihydro-4-deoxy-4(R)-aminospectinomycin (1a) were prepared and tested for antibacterial activity. Only acyl compounds derived from long chain aliphatic acids showed activity in vitro, but were inactive when tested in vivo. All alkyl derivatives were active in vitro. In vivo however only the short chain derivatives...

The kinetics and mechanisms of the reaction of gas phase OH radicals with organics on surfaces are of fundamental chemical interest, as well as relevant to understanding the degradation of organics on tropospheric surfaces or when they are components of airborne particles. We report here studies of the oxidation of a terminal alkene self-assembled monolayer (7-octenyltrichlorosilane, C8= SAM) o...

Coupling picolinic acid (pyridine-2-carboxylic acid) and pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid with N-alkylanilines affords a range of mono- and bis-amides in good to moderate yields. These amides are of interest for potential applications in catalysis, coordination chemistry and molecular devices. The reaction of picolinic acid with thionyl chloride to generate the acid chloride in situ leads not onl...
