A convenient and efficient three-component reaction to a one-pot synthesis of thiophene derivatives from activated acetylenic compounds and ethyl 2chloroacetoacetate in the presence of tetramethyl thiourea in water lead to the formation of thiophenes in good yields.

Topoisomerases (topoII) are crucial enzymes involved during DNA replication, repair and transcription. Recent studies have shown topo II as an interesting target for cancer therapy. In the current study we have synthesized and characterized few thiophene derivatives and determined their antiproliferative activity and apoptosis studies in cancer cell lines. Biochemical analysis showed that thiop...

Reaction of 2-hydrazinocarbonyl-3-chloro-5-phenoxy-benzo[b] thiophene with different substituted phenyl isothiocyanate gave N-substituted arylthiosemi-carbazide derivatives (1a-h). 1,3,4-Thiadiazole derivatives (2a-h) were prepared by the cyclization of arylthiosemicarbazides (1a-h) with concentrated sulphuric acid. All the compounds were screened for their antitubercular activity against Mycob...

a new facile route for synthesis of 3- (aryl) -8, 9- di (alkyl) thieno [3,2-e] [1,2,4] triazolo pyrimidines derivative from the same starting material, 2- amino - 4,5 -di (alkyl) thiophene-3- carboxamide, has been developed through heterocyclization of the corresponding arylidene-hydrazino -5,6 -di (alkyl) thieno [2,3-d] pyrimidine under refluxing condition with acetic anhydride followed by air...

A series of 2-[(arylidene)amino]-cycloalkyl[b]thiophene-3-carbonitriles (2a-x) was synthesized by incorporation of substituted aromatic aldehydes in Gewald adducts (1a-c). The title compounds were screened for their antifungal activity against Candida krusei and Criptococcus neoformans and for their antiproliferative activity against a panel of 3 human cancer cell lines (HT29, NCI H-292 and HEP...

The oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) method was used to detect the antiperoxyradical ability of organoselenium compounds: selenophene and its derivative, 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-selenophene-3-carbonitrile (ATSe); while as a comparison, the sulfur-containing analogue of selenophene-thiophene and its derivative-2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1-thiophene-3-carbonitrile (ATS)-was selected...

BACKGROUND The thiophene nucleus has been recognized as an important entity in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds with promising pharmacological characteristics. RESULTS A number of new heterocyclic compounds incorporating thiophene species have been prepared from the titled enaminone via the reaction with different nucleophiles and electrophiles. The structure elucidation of the designe...

A new facile route for synthesis of 3- (aryl) -8, 9- di (alkyl) thieno [3,2-e] [1,2,4] triazolo pyrimidines derivative from the same starting material, 2- amino - 4,5 -di (alkyl) thiophene-3- carboxamide, has been developed through heterocyclization of the corresponding arylidene-hydrazino -5,6 -di (alkyl) thieno [2,3-d] pyrimidine under refluxing condition with acetic anhydride followed by air...

We provide facile synthetic methods of 1,1′-diaryl-4,4′-bibenzo[ c ]thiophene derivatives by Stille or Suzuki coupling reaction.

An iterative strategy for the synthesis of new sulfur-functionalized oligothiophenes by Suzuki or Stille cross-coupling reactions was applied to the reaction of 4-bromo-tert-butylphenylthioether with thiophene derivatives. The planarity of the oligothiophenes obtained was confirmed by the singlecrystal X-ray structure analysis of 2-(4′-tert-butylthiophenyl)thiophene, which shows a potentially l...
