Pyrazine derivatives are important class of compounds with diverse biological and cytotoxic activities and clinical applications. In this study, B3 p 86 / 6 – 31 + + G * was used to compute and map the molecular surface electrostatic potentials of a group of substituted amides of pyrazine-2-carboxylic acids to identify common features related to their subsequent cytotoxicities. Several statisti...

The purpose of this work is to study the interaction croton fraction with amides – urea and thiourea develop technologies for obtaining accelerators vulcanization rubbers rubber industry.

The parallel solution-phase synthesis of a new combinatorial library of 3-[4-(R1-coumarin-3-yl)-1,3-thiazol-2-ylcarbamoyl]propanoic acid amides 9 has been developed. The synthesis involves two steps: 1) the synthesis of core building blocks - 3- [4-(coumarin-3-yl)-1,3-thiazol-2-ylcarbamoyl]propanoic acids, 6 - by the reaction of 3-(omega-bromacetyl)coumarins 1 with 3-amino(thioxo)methylcarbamoy...

Amide is a derivative of carboxylic acids with a general formula of RCONH2, where R is hydrogen or an alkyl or an aryl radical. The amides are abundant in life, as proteins play a vital role in almost all biological processes. They present in many pharmaceutical substances. An in-depth analysis of the Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry database reveals that the carboxamide group appears in more ...

Aminocarbonylation of aryl halides is one of the most useful methods in amide synthesis, but nitroarenes have not been used as a nitrogen source in this method even though they are more economical and accessible than anilines. Reported here is the development of nickel catalysis for the first three-component reactions of aryl halides, Co2(CO)8, and nitroarenes under reductive conditions to prod...

In a structure analysis of the compounds of the genus Piper (Family Piperaceae), we identified five phenolic amides from Piper nigrum, seven compounds from P. retrofractum, and two compounds from P. baccatum. All the phenolic amides possess significant antioxidant activities that are more effective than the naturally occurring antioxidant, alpha-tocopherol. One amide, feruperine, has antioxidan...

A molecule isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid of sleep-deprived cats has been chemically characterized and identified as cis-9,10-octadecenoamide. Other fatty acid primary amides in addition to cis-9,10-octadecenoamide were identified as natural constituents of the cerebrospinal fluid of cat, rat, and human, indicating that these compounds compose a distinct family of brain lipids. Synthetic...

A Pd-catalyzed and ligand-free carbonylation/cycloaddition/decarboxylation cascade synthesis of sulfonyl amidines from sulfonyl azides and substituted amides at low CO pressure is reported. The reaction proceeds via an initial Pd-catalyzed carbonylative generation of sulfonyl isocyanates from sulfonyl azides, followed by a [2 + 2] cycloaddition with amides and subsequent decarboxylation, which ...

The synthesis of α-amino carbonyl/carboxyl compounds is a contemporary challenge in organic synthesis. Herein, we present a stereoselective α-amination of amides employing simple azides that proceeds under mild conditions with release of nitrogen gas. The amide is used as the limiting reagent, and through simple variation of the azide pattern, various differently substituted aminated products c...

Four catalysts based on new amides of chiral 1,2-diamines and 2-sulfobenzoic acid have been developed. The alkali-metal salts of these betaine-like amides are able to form imines with enones, which are activated by Lewis acid interaction for nucleophilic attack by 4-hydroxycoumarin. The addition of 4-hydroxycoumarin to enones gives ee's up to 83% and almost quantitative yields in many cases. Th...
