The inhibiting effects of some newly synthesized Schiff bases on the corrosion of Al-Pure in 1.0 M HCl have been studied by means of the chemical and electrochemical methods. The Schiff bases m-Chloroaniline-N-benzylidene (m-CANB), p-Chloroaniline–N-benzylidene (p-CANB), Benzylamine-N-(p-methoxy benzylidene) (BANPMB) and 2-Phenylethylamine-N-(p-methoxy benzylidene) (2PANPMB) were synthesized fr...

In the search for better herbicides a series of 1-alkyl-3-(alpha-hydroxy-(un)substituted benzylidene)pyrrolidine-2,4-diones were prepared and their structure-activity relationships studied. All their structures have been confirmed by (1)H-NMR and elemental analysis. The preliminary bioassay results indicated that some of them have high herbicidal activity against annual dicotyledonous and monoc...

A wide variety of titled compounds, several of which have neuro-protecting properties has been prepared in yields ranging between 70 to 90%. The compounds were identified by 1 HNMR, 13 C NMR, 1D and 2D NOE analysis, and HRMS. An investigation of the effect of certain 5-substitutuents on the E to Z ratios in DMSO-d6 was carried out. The 5nitro and 5-acetyl substituents were not isomerized, where...

is a bis-Mannich base. Mannich bases have various biological activities such as antimicrobial, cytotoxic, anticancer, analgesic, and anticonvulsant activities. It has been reported that Mannich bases such as 1-diphenylaminomethyl-3-(1-naphthylimino)-1,3-dihydroindol-3-one, 1diphenylaminomethyl-3-(4-methylphenylimino)-1,3-dihydroindol-3-one and 1,3-dicyclohexyl-5-alkyl-5-aminomethylbarbituric ac...

Clean deprotection of carbohydrate derivatives containing benzylidene acetals and benzyl ethers was achieved under catalytic transfer hydrogenation conditions by using a combination of triethylsilane and 10% Pd/C in CH(3)OH at room temperature. A variety of carbohydrate diol derivatives were prepared from their benzylidene derivatives in excellent yield.

The synthesis of 4-(substituted benzylidene)-2-(pyrazin-2-yl) oxazol-5(4H)-one was achieved in two steps, In first step, pyrazine-2-carboxamide  dissolved in EtOH, 10% KOH solution with ClCH2COOH produced compound 2-(pyrazine-2-carboxamido) acetic acid (II) and in second step, compound (II) in (CH3CO)2O with aromatic aldehyde, and catalyst potassium ace...

Bis(alkynyl)silanes (1a,b) react with bis(pentafluorophenyl)-borane to 3-boryl-2,5-bis(trimethylsilyl) substituted siloles 3a,b. Subsequent irradiation of 3 with Pyrex filtered UV light resulted in the complete conversion to the new 5-boryl-2,3-bis(trimethylsilyl) substituted siloles 4a,b.

Coupling reactions between benzylamines and boronic esters have been investigated. ortho-Lithiated benzylamines react with boronic esters and a N-activator to afford ortho-substituted benzylic boronic esters with formal 1,1'-benzylidene insertion into the C-B bond. The reaction occurs by a SN2' elimination and 1,2-metalate rearrangement of the N-activated boronate complex to afford a dearomatiz...
