X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), including extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) analysis, has been carried out at the Zn K edge of the N-terminal part of the integrase protein of the human immunodeficiency virus, type 2 (HIV-2), and of some zinc coordination compounds. In the presence of excess beta-mercaptoethanol, which was pres...

Two new monobasic tridentate O?N?N donor ligands, HL1 (I) and HL2 (II) have been obtained in two steps by reacting phenylhydrazine salicylaldehyde or 3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylaldehyde then the resulting compounds with 2-chloromethylbenzimidazole presence of triethylamine. The reaction [VIVO(acac)2] these ligands a 1:1 molar ratio dry methanol led to formation homogeneous oxidovanadium(IV) comple...

The three imidazole antimycotics clotrimazole, miconazole, and ketoconazole all inhibit the demethylation of lanosterol to ergosterol, resulting in inhibition of growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae; this is a fungistatic action. At higher concentrations clotrimazole and miconazole are fungicidal, whereas ketoconazole is not. The fungicidal action reflects direct membrane damage by the imidazoles...

A short and efficient synthesis of 1,4-disubstituted imidazoles has been developed which provides the desired products with complete regioselectivity. This protocol allows preparation of compounds which are challenging to prepare by current literature methods in a regioselective fashion, a sterically and electronically diverse range of N-substituents being accessible. The sequence involves an u...

The straightforward identification of impurity signals in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra is imperative for the structure elucidation and signal assignment synthetic products intermediates. To keep pace with emergence novel green solvents auxiliary compounds (e.g., acids bases), NMR tables databases must be regularly updated. This study reports residual 1H 13C chemical shifts 42 solven...

2-Imidazolines and imidazoles have been accessed by an aza-Wittig sequence featuring novel N-acylation methodology for sulfonamides and optimized conditions for ring closure.

Nickel(0) catalysts were used to produce substituted imidazoles in good to high yields using benzonitrile, p-substituted benzonitriles and 4-cyanopyridine as starting materials.

Three UV spectrophotometric methods have been developed, simultaneous equation method, multicomponent analysis (II) and derivative spectroscopy method (III). The absorption maxima of the drugs were found to be 247, 259 and 272 nm, respectively for efavirenz, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and lamivudine in methanol:water (50:50) solvent system. Efavirenz, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and lamivu...

Multicomponent reactions are valuable synthetic tools to deliver highly functionalized motifs starting from simple building blocks in only one step and an atom-economical way. Herein we disclose the structure of a new unexpected compound, methyl 5-imino-2-methyl-1,10a-dihydro-5H-chromeno[2,3-b]pyridine-3-carboxylate, which was formed ohmic-heating-assisted multicomponent Hantzsch reaction 3-for...
