Metal complexes of 2,5-dicarboxamidopyrroles and 2,5-dicarbothioamidopyrroles have been structurally characterised for the first time, complementing the significant amount of work that has been reported for the analogous pyridine ligands. N,N'-Bis(3,5-dinitrophenyl)-3,4-diphenyl-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dicarboxamide forms octahedral bis(tridentate) complexes with cobalt(III) and nickel(II), where the li...

The reaction of N-(2-cyanophenyl)benzimidoyl chloride with reagents containing a thioamide moiety, i.e. thioacetamide, benzylthiourea, symmetrical dialkyland diarylthioureas gave different cyclic products: 3,1-benzothiazine, 1,3,5benzotriazocine and quinazoline. The reaction pathways of prepared compounds are discussed.

Analogs of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (Glp-His-Pro-NH2, TRH) have been prepared which contain thioamide moieties in the pyroglutamic acid ring, the carboxyamide proline terminus, and in both positions (dithio). These compounds have been tested for TSH-releasing activities (in vitro and in vivo), and for binding to TRH receptors in rat pituitary and cortex. The monothionated analogs showed no...

The previously reported monochelate iron complex with κ(3) SNS thioamide pincer ligand, 2,6-bis(N-2,6-bis(diphenylmethyl)-4-isopropylphenyliminothiolate)pyridine (L(DPM)), [Fe(THF)2(κ(3)-L(DPM))], gave novel complexes, [Fe(NHC)(κ(3)-L(DPM))] and [Fe(NO)2(κ(3)-L(DPM))], by substitution reactions with N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) and NO molecules, respectively. The X-ray crystal structure of the ...

The regioselectivity of the model compound 4-methyl-1-thioxo1,2,4,5-tetrahydro[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]quinazolin-5-one (3) towards different electrophiles was studied. Compound 3 reacts with alkyl and aryl halides to give the corresponding S-substituted derivatives. The reaction of the model thioamide with acyl halides proceeds by the formation of kinetically controlled S-acyl derivatives followe...

The coordination chemistry of 2,5-dicarbothioamidopyrrole ligands, namely N2,N5-dibutyl-3,4-diphenyl-1H-pyrrole-2,5-bis(carbothioamide) and N2,N5,3,4-tetraphenyl-1H-pyrrole-2,5-bis(carbothioamide), has been investigated with Cu(II) metal centres by means of X-ray crystallography. This resulted in the formation of the expected planar S,N,S' coordinated complex for the former ligand and unexpecte...

propylthiouracyl. In the case reported, an early diagnosis could not have been made because the patient had no clinical signs and was being treated with methamizole, with the resultant potential implications. It should be noted that the prevalence of liver parameter changes with the other two thioamides is so low that in a case such as the one reported, if the liver profile is not tested, this ...

Abstract: In the present work, gold complex catalysts with Mor-DalPhos ligands were successfully prepared using mesylates as counter ions. Seven ammonium sulfonates were synthesized to promote the production of intermediate sulfonyloxymethyl ketone. It was found that low-acidity N,N-dimethylbenzenaminium methanesulfonate showed excellent activity in the reaction. Furthermore, the catalysts effe...

Thioamides are the preferred pronucleophiles for direct catalytic asymmetric aldol reactions in the context of soft Lewis acid/hard Brønsted base cooperative catalysis. In-depth investigation of this proton-transfer catalysis, which is virtually in equilibrium, revealed that the prominence of the retro-aldol reaction depended on the substrate combination. The retro-aldol reaction is a serious i...
