The title compound, C(16)H(16)N(2)O(5)S, is a potent new fungicide. There are two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit which are linked by C-H⋯π inter-actions, forming a dimer. The two phenyl rings in each mol-ecules are almost coplanar, with C-N-C-C torsion angles of 177.6 (2) and -172.5 (2)°. There are inter-molecular and intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds in the crystal structure.

The microwave-assisted reaction of 2-nitroimidazole with 3-bromophenacyl bromide in the presence potassium carbonate as a base and dimethylformamide solvent afforded 2-(3-bromophenyl)imidazo[2,1-b]oxazole. formation this compound was explained via domino mechanism comprising an initial N-alkylation imidazole substrate, followed by base-promoted deprotonation position adjacent to carbonyl give e...

The beta0diketone derivatives of nitroimidazole were synthesized from the reaction of magnesium salt of beta-ketoaccids 3 with imidazolide 4. The raction of beta-diketones with hydroxylamine hydrochloride afforded either the isoxazoles or the 5-hydroxyl-2-isoxazolines.

This paper reports the findings obtained using two new compounds belonging to the 5-nitroimidazole family: sulphuridazole (V1) and sulphonidazole (V2). We first assessed their antimicrobial activity on Clostridia spp. and then extended the study to Gram-positive and Gram-negative aerobic microorganisms and to Candida albicans. Their MICs were compared with those of metronidazole. The findings s...
