Benzofurans are very interesting heterocycles, which are available in nature and show a wide range of pharmacological activities. Hence, different benzofurans having 4-thiazolidinones have been synthesized for the purpose of pharmacological evaluation. The desired compounds were prepared using simple starting materials like salicylaldehyde and ethyl bromoacetate. The reaction between these comp...

The one-pot three-component reactions of 1-substituted benzimidazoles with ethyl bromoacetate and electron-deficient alkynes, in 1,2-epoxybutane, gave a variety of pyrrolo[1,2-a]quinoxalin-4-ones and pyrrolo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles. The influence of experimental conditions on the course of reaction was investigated. A novel synthetic pathway starting from benzimidazoles unsubstituted at the five m...

Ultrasound assisted phase-transfer catalyzed preparation of ethyl 2-(4-nitrophenoxy)acetate from the corresponding p-nitrophenol and ethyl 2-bromoacetate using the mild solid base, anhydrous potassium carbonate, under very mild conditions is reported. The solid-liquid reactions were performed in a batch reactor equipped with reflux condenser, and ultrasonic irradiations were introduced using an...

1-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)propen-1-one (1) was prepared and reacted with an active methylene compound (ethyl cyanoacetate) in the presence of ammonium acetate to give the corresponding cyanopyridone 2. Compound 2 reacted with hydrazine hydrate, malononitrile, ethyl bromoacetate and phosphorous oxychloride to afford compounds 4 and 7-11, respectively. The 2-chloropyridine derivati...

The reaction of 5-(1-adamantyl)-4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3-thione (compound 5) with formaldehyde and 1-substituted piperazines yielded the corresponding N-Mannich bases 6a-f. The reaction of 5-(1-adamantyl)-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3-thione 8 with various 2-aminoethyl chloride yielded separable mixtures of the S-(2-aminoethyl) 9a-d and the N-(2-aminoethyl) 10a-d derivatives. The reaction of c...

Condensation of 3-acetylbenzo[5,6]coumarin (1) with hydrazine-carbodithioate esters and/or thiocarbohydrazide gave the corresponding N-[1-(benzocoumarin-3`-yl)ethylidene]hydrazonecarbodithioate (2a,b) and 1,5-bis[1-(benzocoumarin3`-yl)ethylidene]thiocarbohydrazide (3) respectively. Treatment of 2a with ethanolic ammonia solution and/or amines gave the corresponding thiosemicarbazone derivatives...

The antioxidant activity of two synthesized coumarins namely, N-(4,7-dioxo-2- phenyl-1,3-oxazepin-3(2H,4H,7H)-yl)-2-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yloxy)acetamide 5 and N-(4-oxo-2-phenylthiazolidin-3-yl)-2-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yloxy)acetamide 6 were studied with the DPPH, hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide radical methods and compared with the known antioxidant ascorbic acid. Compounds 5 and 6 were synthes...

In this study, we aimed to develop new biologically active compounds with antibacterial properties. 4-amino-5-methyl-2H-1,2,4-triazol-3(4H)-one (1) was converted the corresponding Schiff bases (2) reaction a 4-anis aldehyde. Acetic acid ethyl esters containing [1,2,4] triazole ring (3) were synthesized by condensation of bromoacetate in basic media. The hydrazine hydrate led formation hydrazide...
