This paper reports on the synthesis and characterization of two Schiff bases bearing 1,2,4-triazolic moieties, namely 4H-4-(2-hydroxy-benzylidene-amino)-5-benzyl-3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole and 4H-4-(4-nitro-benzylidene-amino)-5-benzyl-3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole using thin layer chromatography, melting interval, elemental analysis, spectroscopy and thermal stability studies.

ABSTRACT. A series of new thiophene derivatives was prepared through nucleophilic substitution reactions the precursor N-(4-substituted-phenyl)-5-(2-chloroacetamido)-4-cyano-3-methylthiophene-2-‎carboxamides 4a and 4b with different sulfur and/or nitrogen reagents (namely; mercaptoacetic acid, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, 5-(phenylamino)-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol, 2-mercapto-4,6-dimethylnicotinonit...

In field conditions, the effect of plant growth regulators Ivin (N-oxide-2,6-dimethylpyridine), Methyur (sodium salt 6-methyl-2-mercapto-4-hydroxypyrimidine), Kamethur (potassium 6-methyl-2-mercapto-4-hydroxypyrimidine) on and productivity sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) variety Bastion was studied. The growth-regulating activity Ivin, compared with auxin IAA (1H-Indol-3-yl)acetic acid). It fo...

The acidity constants Ka1 and Ka2 of 2-(5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-ylthio)acetic acid have been determined both by experimental and theoretical methods. pKa computations at B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) level of theory were carried out for the two tautomeric forms, thiol and thione, of the above-mentioned acid. Comparisons between the experimental and theoretical values led to the establishing of the m...

1. Certain of the alpha-mercapto soaps and alpha-disulfo soaps are powerful germicides. 2. In the alpha-mercapto series, those soaps with 12 and 14 carbon atoms are most germicidal. In the disulfo series, the dicaprate, dilaurate, and dimyristate are most germicidal. The optimum number of carbon atoms varies with the test organism used. 3. These soaps, like others previously studied, show a mar...

Some new 2-alkyl-5-mercapto-1,3,4-Oxadiazoles and 3-alkyl-5-mercapto-1,2,3-4H triazoles were synthesized from hydrazides of acid oil and oil recovered from spent bleaching earth. These newly synthesized compounds were characterized on the basis of elemental analysis and evaluated for biological properties. Certain derivatives exhibited fairly high antibacterial and antifungal activities when co...

The mechanism of inhibition of gastric peroxidase (GPO) activity by mercaptomethylimidazole (MMI), an inducer of gastric acid secretion, has been investigated. Incubation of purified GPO with MMI in the presence of H2O2 results in irreversible inactivation of the enzyme. No significant inactivation occurs in the absence of H2O2 or MMI, suggesting the involvement of peroxidase-catalysed oxidized...

We report the synthesis of three gold(i) complexes [Au(H(2)-mmta)(2)]Cl·(3)H(2)O (1), Na(3)[Au(mmta)(2)]·6H(2)O (2) and Na(3)[Au(mmta)(2)]·10.5H(2)O (3) (H(2)-mmta = 2-mercapto-4-methyl-5-thiazoleacetic acid) in which the Au(i) centre is incorporated either in cationic or anionic units of the [Au(SR)(2)](+/-) type depending on the protonation state of the ligand. All structures were characteriz...
