ABSTRACT The pseudo-Michael reaction of 1-aryl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-amines with ethyl 2-cyano-3-methoxyprop-2-enoate (ethyl ethoxymethylenecyanoacetate) is investigated. At -10 °C reaction takes place on the exocyclic nitrogen atom, giving exclusively ethyl esters of 2-cyano-3-[(1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)amino]prop-2-enoic acid. The formation of isomeric enamines which may be a...

Several new 2-(2-(4-chlorophenyl)acetyl)-N-arylhydrazinecarbothioamides 1, 5-(4-chlorobenzyl)-4-aryl-4H-1,2,4triazole-3-thiols 2, 5-(4-chlorobenzyl)-N-aryl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amines 3 and 5-(4-chlorobenzyl)-N-aryl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2amines 4 have been synthesized and screened for their antibacterial activity against gram +ve and gram –ve bacteria i.e S.aureus and E. coli. The QSAR studies of thes...

Reaction of ethyl-6-methyl-2-oxo-4-aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-5-carboxylates (1a-i) with hydrazine hydrate yielded 6-methyl-2-oxo-4-aryl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-5-carbohydrazides (2a-i). These products, on reaction with cyanogen bromide, gave 5-(5-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)-6-methyl-4-aryl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2 (1H)-ones (3a-i). The resultant aminooxadiazolylpyrimidinones were conde...

A new generation of chroman bearing heterocyclic five membered ring such as 1,2,4-triazoles and thiazolidinones was designed and synthesized. New chroman based nucleus 5-(6-fluorochroman-2-yl)-4-aryl-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol and 6-fluorochroman-N-(4-oxo-2-arylthiazolidinin-3-yl) chroman-2-carboxamides were synthesized. Aryl triazole compounds 4a-4j were synthesized from 6-fluorochroman-2-carbo...

A one-pot, tandem process has been developed for the synthesis of a library of tetrazoles from aryl isothiocyanates. Condensation of aryl isothiocyanates with ammonia, and aryl amines (R-NH(2)) provided mono, 1,3-disubstituted symmetrical and unsymmetrical thioureas, which on desulfurization with molecular iodine (I(2)) led to formation of the corresponding heterocumulene (cyanamides or carbodi...
