Iodo-Bodipy immobilized on porous silica was used as an efficient recyclable photocatalyst for photoredox catalytic tandem oxidation-[3+2] cycloaddition reactions of tetrahydroisoquinoline with N-phenylmaleimides to prepare pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline.

The syntheses of the novel pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-based heterocycles as tricyclic analogues of O6-methylguanine are described. Compound 5 is a weak inhibitor of human O6-alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase.

Series of 4-arylimidazoles, omega-N-acylhistamines and 4-(omega-phenylalkyl)imidazoles were synthesized in order to probe the active site topology of sweet almond beta-glucosidase. These imidazole derivatives were shown to be very powerful competitive inhibitors. Among the 20 tested compounds, omega-N-benzoylhistamine and 4-(3'-phenylpropyl)imidazole are the most potent inhibitors of the enzyme...

The Cambridge Structural Database was mined for non N-substituted, neutral imidazole derivatives. Solid states with metal centres bound to the imidazole nitrogen atoms and ionic species were not included. The N–N, hydrogen-bound, tape motif was found to be a structural trend in the solid-state of neutral imidazole derivatives in the presence of possible competing hydrogen bonds and in highly st...

A nonlinear optical chromophore, 4,5-bis(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-2-(4-nitrophenyl)imidazole, was investigated by X-ray crystallography. The study focused on coplanarity among several aromatic rings, including phenyls and imidazole. Two phenyl rings with NMe2 groups are twisted by 46.39(3) degrees from each other. However, they are twisted by 23.05(5) degrees and 46.84(3) degrees from the imidazo...

The imidazole-Ag(I)-imidazole base pair is one of the best-investigated artificial metal-mediated base pairs. We show here that its stability can be further improved by formally replacing the imidazole moiety by a 2-methylimidazole or 4-methylimidazole moiety. A comparison of the thermal stability of several double helices shows that the addition of one equivalent of Ag(I) leads to a 50% larger...

New imidazole derived thiosemicarbazones and hydrazones were prepared by condensation of 4(5)-imidazole carboxaldehyde, 4-(1H-imidazole-1-yl)benzaldehyde and 4-(1H-imidazole-1-yl)acetophenone with a thiosemicarbazide or hydrazide. All compounds were characterized by quantitative elemental analysis, IR and NMR techniques. Eight structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The ...

The activity of egg lecithin in preventing the antifungal action of the two imidazole antimycotics, clotrimazole and miconazole, was confirmed. However, addition of this phospholipid could not relieve an existing imidazole inhibition. Compared with egg lecithin, reduced egg lecithin showed no such protective effect. The addition of egg lecithin to an aqueous suspension of the imidazole drugs ch...

The title compound, [Fe(C44H28N4)(C4H6N2)2]·2C4H6N2, is a six-coordinate Fe(II)-porphyrinate complex with the metal located on a center of inversion and coordinated by two axial 1-methyl-imidazole ligands; the complex crystallizes as a 1-methyl-imidazole disolvate. The 1-methyl-imidazole group bonded to the Fe(II) atom [occupancy ratio 0.789 (4):0.211 (4)] and the unbound 1-methyl-imidazole mol...

The title complex, [Fe(C(19)H(27)N(10))](ClO(4))(3)·2H(2)O, is a new polymorph of an iron(II) Schiff base complex of tris-(2-amino-ethyl)methyl-ammonium with imidazole-2-carboxaldehyde. The octa-hedral Fe(II) atom is bound to three facial imidazole N atoms with average Fe-N(imidazole) and Fe-N(imine) bond distances of 1.963 (5) and 1.951 (5) Å, respectively. The central N atom of the tripodal l...
