A facile and efficient protocol for palladium-catalyzed ortho-acylation of 2-aryl pyridines was developed. Note that this acylation utilized arylmethyl amines as new, cheap and readily available acylation reagents and exhibited high regioselectivity for 2-aryl pyridines bearing a meta-substituent in the aryl ring moiety.

In this study, novel CuO/g-C3N4 nanocomposite was simply synthesized by impregnation of g-C3N4 with CuO nanoparticles. Then, the heterogeneous catalyst was characterized by various techniques including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and transmission electron microscopy (...

Indole has recently been implicated as an important small molecule signal utilized by many bacteria to coordinate various forms of behavior. Indole plays a role in numerous bacterial processes, including: biofilm formation and maintenance, virulence factor production, antibiotic resistance and persister cell formation. Intercepting indole-signaling pathways with appropriately designed small mol...

The synthesis of chiral mechanically interlocked molecules has attracted a lot attention in the last few years, with applications different fields, such as asymmetric catalysis or sensing. Herein we describe orientational mechanostereoisomers, which include benzylic amide macrocycle stereogenic center, and nonsymmetric N-(arylmethyl)fumaramides axis. base-promoted cyclization initial fumaramide...

One pathway leading to the bioactive auxin, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), is known as the tryptamine pathway, which is suggested to proceed in the sequence: tryptophan (Trp), tryptamine, N-hydroxytryptamine, indole-3-acetaldoxime, indole-3-acetaldehyde (IAAld), IAA. Recently, this pathway has been characterized by the YUCCA genes in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and their homologs in other s...

The molecule of the title compound, C(18)H(14)N(4), lies on a center of inversion such that there is one half-mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit. The N-N single bond adopts a trans configuration and the indole fused-ring system is nearly coplanar with the -CH=N-N=CH- fragment [dihedral angle = 9.8 (2)°]. Adjacent mol-ecules are linked by indole-azine N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds into a layer motif.

The indole and phenyl ring systems in the title compound, C(18)H(18)N(2)S(2), are nearly coplanar, the indole and phenyl planes forming a dihedral angle of 6.5 (1)°. Supra-molecular aggregation is effected by N-H⋯S, C-H⋯S, N-H⋯π and C-H⋯π inter-actions. The crystal studied exhibited inversion twinning.
