Molybdate sulfuric acid (MSA) has been prepared and used as catalyst for the Biginelli synthesis of some quinazolinones/thiones under solvent-free conditions. The catalyst loading is low and it shows recyclability. This method has advantages such as avoidance of the organic solvents, high yield of pure products, short reaction times and operational simplicity.

The pyrimidine thione derivatives 2a-d were prepared by the reaction of thiourea, ethyl cyanoacetate and several aromatic aldehydes. The acyclic thioglycosides 4a-7d were prepared by the reaction of the synthesized pyrimidine thiones 2a-d with different alkyl halides, whereas the reaction of 2a-d with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl bromide afforded the cyclic thioglycosides 8a-d ...

A series of new benzothiazole derivatives 6a-h have been synthesized, in five steps, from substituted phenols via the 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thiones 5a-h. The in vitro antitumor activity of the compounds obtained was investigated and the benzothiazol derivatives 6d and 6e showed strong effects on leukaemia cell lines CCRF-CEM (CC50=12+/-2 micromol L(-1), 8+/-1 micromol L(-1), respectively). These c...

CuO-CeO2 nanocomposite is reported as a green and highly efficient recyclable catalyst for the multicomponent  synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones/thiones under solvent-free conditions. The catalyst was synthesized by co-precipitation method and characterized by XRD, BET specific surface area, FESEM and EDS analysis.

Two simple protocols for the synthesis of three-component condensation reaction of an aldehyde, β-ketoester and urea or thiourea to obtain the 3, 4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones (thiones) using nano silica phosphoric acid are reported. Short reaction times, high yields, reusability of catalyst and easy workup are some advantages of these protocols.

Charge transport in a porphyrin with four identical pyridyl substituents, 5,10,15,20-tetra(4-pyridyl)-21H,23H-porphine (TPyP), was investigated using the scanning tunneling microscopy break junction method. To determine the dominant pathway, we studied two structurally similar porphyrins, o-DPyP and p-DPyP. Our experiments reveal that charge transport through TPyP in a break junction configurat...

TMPP (5, 10, 15, 20 tetrakis {4-methoxyphenyl} 21H, 23H porphyrin) was labeled with technetium-99m via direct labeling technique using stannous chloride as a reducing agent. The optimum conditions that gave high labeling yield (95.2%) of Tc-TMPP complex were achieved by using 3mg TMPP, 100g SnCl2.2H2O, at pH 3 and 30min reaction time. Accumulation of Tc-TMPP complex was studied in tumor bearin...
