A concise method for the synthesis of heterocycle-fused naphthoquinones such as naphtho[2,3-b]-furan-4,9-dione, 1H-benz[f]indole-4,9-dione, and naphtho[2,3-b]thiophene-4,9-dione was developed. This method employed Sonogashira coupling and tandem addition-elimination/intramolecular cyclization, and it enabled the preparation of versatile heterocycle-fused naphthoquinones from one substrate.

Intra and intermolecular interactions found in the developed crystals of synthesized py-ron-2,4-dione derivatives play crucial rules molecular conformations crystal stabili-ties, respectively. In this regard, Hirshfeld calculations were used to quantitatively analyze different structures some functionalized py-ran-2,4-dione derivatives. The X-ray structure pyran-2,4-dione derivative namely (3E,...

Known 1,6-di(thiophen-2-yl)hexane-1,6-dione (2) and novel 1,7-di(thiophen-2-yl)heptane-1,7-dione (4) were obtained from the reactions of thiophene with corresponding diacyl chlorides. Furthermore, compounds furan pyrrole units in place compound 2 same way. Bromination 4 gave bromides regioselectively. The reaction each HOAc medium yielded cyclocondensation products. In total, four known eleven ...

To continue our systematic SAR studies a series of N-phenylamino derivatives of 2-azaspiro[4.4]nonane-, 2-azaspiro[4.5]decane-, 6-methyl-2-azaspiro[4.5]decane-1,3-dione and 3-cyclohexylpyrrolidine-2,5-dione were synthesized and tested for their anticonvulsant activity in the maximum electroshock seizure (MES) and subcutaneous metrazole seizure threshold (sc. Met) tests. Among those molecules th...

The formation of the benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) diones (B[a]P-1,6-dione, B[a]P-3,6-dione, B[a]P-6,12-dione) as the main products of oxidative degradation of B[a]P has been observed under atmospheric conditions in air particulate matter. Samples were collected at two different sites in Munich, Germany. Total B[a]P dione concentrations were determined by APCI/LC-MS and ranged between 8 and 605 pg m-3...

4-Benzyl-1,2,4-triazin-3,5(2H,4H)-dione (3-benzyl-6-azauracil, 2), and 2,4-dibenzyl-1,2,4-triazin-3,5(2H,4H)-dione (1,3-dibenzyl-6-azauracil, 3) were synthesized by the reaction of 1,2,4-triazin-3,5(2H,4H)-dione (6-azauracil, 1) with benzyl bromide and potassium carbonate in dry acetone via the 18-crown-6-ether catalysis. In these reaction methods, we developed more convenient and efficient met...

The syntheses of four new bis(imino)acenaphthene (BIAN) imidazolium chlorides are reported, three of which have been structurally characterized. The synthesis of a new, structurally authenticated BIAN ligand is also described. We report the results of the use of these BIAN imidazolium salts as antimicrobials against the pathogens S. aureus, B. subtilis, E. coli and P. aeruginosa. The antimicrob...

In the title compound, C(16)H(12)ClNO(3), an arm-like 4-meth-oxy-benzene links to 5-chloro-indoline-2,3-dione through a methyl-ene group, with a dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzene ring and the indole moiety of 88.44 (8)°. In the crystal, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O and π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.383 (3) Å] link the mol-ecules together to form a ...
