The phenyltetrel pyridine-2-olates PhE(pyO)3 (E = Si, Ge, Sn; pyO pyridine-2-olate) were synthesized from the respective chlorides PhECl3 and 2-hydroxypyridine (2-pyridone) with aid of a sacrificial base (triethylamine). Their solid-state structures determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. PhSi(pyO)3 exhibits three-fold capped tetrahedral Si coordination sphere ([4+3]-coordination, Si···...

In the present study, a series of 2-(3'-substituted-2'-hydroxypropylamino)pyridines were synthesized and characterized by IR, 1H-NMR and elemental analysis. The compounds were investigated for anticonvulsant (150, 300 mg/kg) and cardiac activity. 2-(3'-Diethylamino-2'-hydroxypropylamino)pyridine 3 was found to exhibit the highest anticonvulsant activity. 2-(3'-Dimethylamino-2'-hydroxypropylamin...

Pt(C/N)(phe)(1, C/N = 2-(2'-thienyl)pyridine, phe = phenylalanine) shows a high binding affinity (ca. 10(6) dm(3) mol(-1)) and selectivity towards human serum albumin (HSA) and such binding is accompanied by an enhancement of photoluminescence at 562 nm; both the protein binding affinity and cytotoxicities of [Pt(C/N)(phe)(1), Pt(C/N)(trp)(2, trp = tryptophan) and Pt(C/N)(gly)(3, gly = glycine)...

Monomeric [Co(II)(hep-H)(H2O)4]SO4 [1]SO4 and [Co(II)(hep-H)2(H2O)2](NO3)2 [2](NO3)2 have been developed from 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyridine (hep-H) and CoSO4·7H2O/Co(NO3)2·6H2O, respectively, at 298 K. On exposure to heat (120 °C), the light orange single crystal of [1]SO4 transforms to a pink single crystal corresponding to the neutral sulfato bridged dimeric complex [(Co(II)(hep-H)(H2O)2(μ2-sulf...

Condensation of two molecules of pyridine-2-carboxaldehyde (pyca), in the presence of MnCl(2) and ammonium diethyldithiophosphate, produced, in a one-pot reaction, Mn(II) complexes containing 3-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines as κ(2)(N,N) chelate ligands which could be easily separated from the metal, this being a convenient way to pyridyl-aza-indolizine heterocycles.

reaction of tryptamine 1 with dimethyl -3-methoxyallylidenemalonate 2 afforded n?-[4,4-bis (methoxycarbonyl)-1,3-butadienyl] tryptamine 3 which in combination with acetylchloride and pyridine in dichloromethane gave n?, n?-[acetyl]-[(4,4-dinethoxycarbonyl) 1,3butadienyl] tryptamine 4. treatment of 3 with sodium hydroxide afforded 2h[n-(3-indolyl) ethyl] 2-oxo-3-methoxycarbonyl-1-pyridine 5. cyc...

The reactions of isatins, 3-amino-1-pheyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one, and monocyclic ketones, have been developed for preparation spiro[indoline-3,4'-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinoline]-2,3'(6'H)-dione, spiro[cyclohepta[b]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyridine-4,3'-indoline]-2′,3-dione, spiro[cycloocta[b]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyridine-4,3'-indoline]-2′,3(6H)-dione, spiro[cyclo dodeca[b]pyrazolo[4,3-e]pyridine-4,3'-indoline]-2′,3(6H...

Pyridine containing water clusters, H(+)(pyridine)(m)(H(2)O)(n), have been studied both experimentally by a quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer and by quantum chemical calculations. In the experiments, H(+)(pyridine)(m)(H(2)O)(n) with m = 1-4 and n = 0-80 are observed. For the cluster distributions observed, there are no magic numbers, neither in the abundance spectra, nor in the evapor...
