Various N-heteroaromatic compounds, including pyridines, quinolines and isoquinoline, react with arynes and nitrile-containing solvents to give N-arylated 1,2-dihydro-2-pyridinyl, -2-quinolinyl and -1-isoquinolinyl nitriles in excellent yields.

Five novel compounds, methyl 5-(acetyloxy)-1-(6-bromo-2-pyridinyl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate (1), methyl 1-(6-bromo-2-pyridinyl)-5-hydroxy-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate (2), Trimethyl 1,1',1''-tris(6-bromo-2-pyridinyl)-5,5''-dihydroxy-5'-oxo-1',5'-dihydro-1H,1''H-4,4': 4',4''-terpyrazole-3,3',3''-tricarboxylate (H₂L¹, 3), [Cu₂(L²)₂]·CH₃OH (4), H₂L2A·CH₃CN (5) were synthesized. Compounds 1-5 charact...

We have designed and synthesized a new ligand, 6-(2-pyridinyl)-4-[3'-(3-pyridinyl)[1,1'-biphenyl]-3-yl]-2,2'-bipyridine (2). 2 reacted with Pt(cod)(MeCN)(2)(BF(4))(2) to quantitatively give the molecular dimer, 1.BF(4) (2(2).Pt(II)(2).4BF(4)(-)), by self-assembly. The (1)H NMR and UV-vis titration showed that the complexation affinity of 1.BF(4) toward benzenediol guests decreases in the order ...

The title compound, C10H11N5O {systematic name: 6-methyl-4-[(E)-(pyridin-3-yl-methyl-idene)amino]-4,5-di-hydro-1,2,4-triazin-3(2H)-one}, C10H11N5O, is used as an anti-feedant in pest control. The asymmetric unit comprises two independent mol-ecules, A and B, in which the dihedral angles between the pyridinyl and triazinyl ring planes [r.m.s. deviations = 0.0132 and 0.0255 ] are 11.60 (6) and 18...

A synthesis of tetrasubstituted pyrazoles containing two, three or four pyridinyl substituents is described. Hence, the reaction of 1,3-dipyridinyl-1,3-propanediones with 2-hydrazinopyridine or phenylhydrazine, respectively, affords the corresponding 1,3,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles. Iodination at the 4-position of the pyrazole nucleus by treatment with I2/HIO3 gives the appropriate 4-iodopyrazol...

An oxidative Pd-catalyzed intra-intermolecular dioxygenation of (aza-)alkenols has been reported, with total regioselectivity. To study the stereoselectivity, different chiral ligands as well hypervalent-iodine compounds have compared. In particular, by using a C-6 modified pyridinyl-oxazoline (Pyox) ligand and hypervalent iodine bearing an aromatic ring, excellent enantio- diastereoselectivity...

Inappropriate thrombus formation within blood vessels is the leading cause of mortality in the industrialized world. Factor Xa (FXa) is a trypsin-like serine protease that plays a key role in the blood coagulation cascade and represents an attractive target for anticoagulant drug development. From a high-throughput in vitro mass screen of our chemical library, we identified 4-[5-[(2R,6S)-2, 6-d...

The host-guest interaction between orthophosphate, pyrophosphate and triphosphate anions and four cyclen based bis-macrocycles ligands possessing ortho-(BOC), meta-(BMC), para-xylenyl (BPC) or 2,6-pyridinyl (BPyC) linker was investigated by potentiometric measurements and NMR spectroscopy. Each ligand gave protonated species in aqueous solution that further formed ternary complexes after bindin...
