Novel N-amino benzylthiolates were synthesized via multicomponent reaction of malononitrile, isothiocyanates and benzyl halides under conventional and solvent-free conditions. Various electron-donating and -withdrawing substitutes within both isothiocyanates and benzyl halides were used to demonstrate the efficiency of new methodology. A broad spectrum of antibacterial and antifungal activities...

the complex formation reaction between iodine with tetrabutylammonium halides (tbax) has been studied spectrophotometrically in chloroform solution at 25ºc. various aspects of the spectra of iodine in the presence of various concentration of different tetrabutylammonium halides have been discussed in terms of electronic specifications of iodine and halides. in the case of tetrabutylammonium iod...

Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of furfural tosylhydrazones with aryl halides produces 2-furylmethylenepalladium halides, which can undergo intramolecular nucleophilic dearomatization to provide spiroacetal enol ethers. This is the first report on the formation of 2-furylmethylenepalladium halides from stable furfural hydrazones instead of from 2-furylmethyl halides, which are not readily accessibl...

Differently substituted pyridinium N-heteroarylaminides have been prepared in one step with good yield from N-aminopyridinium iodide and the corresponding heteroaryl chloride. q 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. For many years conjugated heterocyclic N-ylides, a subgroup of mesomeric betaines, have been widely used as building blocks for the synthesis of fused heterocyclic systems and nat...

A versatile method for the preparation of N-heteroaryl substituted aminoacid derivatives is suggested. The method avoids facile diketopiperazine formation.

We report our studies on the use of two catalyst systems, based on the ligands BrettPhos (1) and RuPhos (2), which provide the widest scope for Pd-catalyzed C-N cross-coupling reactions to date. Often low catalyst loadings and short reaction times can be used with functionalized aryl and heteroaryl coupling partners. The reactions are highly robust and can be set up and performed without the us...

Aryl and heteroaryl derivatives with an alkylaminoethyl chain on the hydroxyl group of the benzene ring are prepared and evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and showed the activity in the range of 3.12-25 μg/mL. The compounds containing alkylaminoethyl chains on aryl-chromeneyl carbinol do not show good activity. Similarly compounds with bis and tris-alkylaminoethyl chains on ary...

We report on the synthesis of complexes hav ing two equiva lent redox active 2,5-dimethylazafe rrocenyl entities connected by heteroaryl (heteroaryl = thiophenyl, bithiophenyl and pyridyl) bridges. The new compounds have been investigated by various electrochemical techniques including cyclic voltammetry (CV), differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and square wave voltammetry (SW) and were found ...

We report the arylation and heteroarylation of α,α-difluoro-α-(trimethylsilyl)acetamides with aryl and heteroaryl bromides catalyzed by an air- and moisture-stable palladacyclic complex containing P(t-Bu)2Cy as ligand. A broad range of electronically varied aryl and heteroaryl bromides underwent this transformation to afford α-aryl-α,α-difluoroacetamides in high yields. Due to the electrophilic...
