In continuation of our research program to develop original synthetic methods using TDAE methodology on nitroheterocyclic substrates, we were able generate for the first time a stable carbanion in position 2 5-nitroimidazole scaffold. Starting from 2-chloromethyl-4-phenylsulfonylmethyl-5-nitroimidazole intermediate, prepared by vicarious nucleophilic substitution hydrogen (VNS) reaction, select...

In the title mol-ecule, C(15)H(17)N(3)O(5), the dihedral angle between the benzene and imidazole rings is 3.69 (2)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking inter-actions with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.614 (1) Å.

Metronidazole (MET) [systematic names: 1-(2-hy-droxy-eth-yl)-2-methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazole and 2-(2-methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethanol] is a medication that is used to treat infections from a variety of anaerobic organisms. As with other imidazole derivatives, metronidazole is also susceptible to protonation. However, there are few reports of the structures of metronidazolium derivatives. ...

In the title compound, C(12)H(12)N(3) (+)·PF(6) (-), the hexa-fluoro-phosphate anion is disordered over two orientations with refined site occupancies of 0.8071 (17) and 0.1929 (17). The dihedral angle between the imidazole and benzene rings in the cation is 71.26 (7)°. In the crystal, the cations and anions are linked by C-H⋯F and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.

Some new 3-[(5-benzylidene-2-phenyl)-3, 5-dihydro-4-H-imidazol-4-one-3-(4-bezoylhydrazono)]-indole-2-ones (VIII) have been synthesized from different isatinhydrazones (II) by condensing with 2-phenyl-5-benzylidene- 3-N (4-acetyl phenyl)-1, 5-dihydro-imidazol-4-one (VII). Their chemical structures have been confirmed by IR, 1HNMR, MASS and by elemental analysis. Investigation of antimicrobial ac...
