ABSTRACT. A series of 2-(4-substituted-phenylimino)thiazolidin-4-one compounds was synthesized via heterocyclizing the corresponding N-aryl-2-chloroacetamides with ammonium thiocyanate. Their chemical structures were elucidated based on an extensive analysis their spectroscopic data, including infrared, 1H NMR, 13C and mass analyses. The possible tautomeric forms thiazolidine-4-ones studied. ta...

In this study, N1,N1,N2,N2-tetramethylethane-1,2-diamine was reacted with chlorosulfonic acid to afford N1,N1,N2,N2-tetramethyl-N1,N2-bis(sulfo)ethane-1,2-diaminium chloride ([TMBSED][Cl]2</su...

     Cobalt hydrogensulfate is an efficient catalyst for the condensation of β-naphthol, aromatic aldehydes and 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione at 120 °C to afford 9,9-dimethyl-12-phenyl-8,10,11,12-tetrahydro-9-H-benzo[a]xanthen-11-one derivatives in high yields. Also, polycondensation reactions of phenols with phthalic anhydride were carried out in the presence of cobalt hydrogensu...

Neuroinflammation driven by the vanilloid-type ion channel receptor transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV-1) is suspected to play a role in the pathophysiology of inflammatory bowel disease. Because inflammatory bowel disease is known to elevate the risk of colon cancer, we examined postulated roles for TRPV1–driven neuroinflammation in promoting colitis-associated and spontaneous...

The communicative enthusiasm of Lloyd Old Before starting this introduction on the development of monoclonal antibodies for cancer therapy and the role of Lloyd Old in the field, in parallel with his central interest in T cell activation by tumor antigen vaccination, let me say a few subjective words about a unique human quality of Lloyd: his extraordinary communicative enthusiasm. That quality...

transfusion-dependent patients such as those suffering from β-thalassaemia develop a fatal secondary haemosiderosis and consequently a selective iron chelator must be used to relieve such iron overload. 3- hydroxypyridin-4-ones are selective for iron(iii) under most biological conditions, but unlike desferrioxamine, are efficiently absorbed when administered orally. in this study, the synthesis...

The synthesis of 3-alkyl(aryl)-4-(3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzylidenamino)-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones 3 from the reactions of 3-alkyl(aryl)-4-amino-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones 2 with 3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde is described. The acetylation and methylation reactions of the compounds 3 giving compounds of type 4 and 5, respectively, were investigated. The newly synthesized compound...

conformational properties of n-aryl-1-azacyclooctan-5- ones with a p-methyl, m-methyl, and p-methoxy group as a substituent have been studied by 1h-nmr, 13c-nmr and ir spectroscopies. transannular interaction of the two functional groups have been examined from the ring inversion barriers and the carbonyl vibrational frequencies with reference to the corresponding data of the respective monofun...

3-Alkyl(aryl)-4-amino-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones 2a-g reacted with 4-diethylaminobenzaldehyde to afford the corresponding 3-alkyl(aryl)-4-(4-diethyl-aminobenzylidenamino)-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones 3a-g. The acetylation reactions of compounds 3a-e were investigated and compounds 4a-e were thus obtained. The new compounds were characterized using IR, (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, UV and...
