In this work a novel heterojunction catalyst have been synthesized and employed as a highly efficient catalyst for one-pot synthesis of substituted imidazoles. Analytical methods including Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Energy- dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Vibrating Sample Magnom...

A series of 1-substituted 2, 4, 5 triphenyl imidazoles were synthesized by the reaction equimolar mixture of 2, 4, 5 triphenyl imidazole with chloro compound in the presence of anhydrous potassium carbonate. The newly synthesized compounds were characterized on the basis of UV, IR and H NMR spectra. The synthesized compounds were screened for antiinflammatory, antimicrobial activities. Antiinfl...

Moclobemide is a selective and reversible monoamine oxidase-A inhibitor, which is used as an antidepressant. Three moclobemide analogues were synthesized by replacing moclobemide phenyl ring with substituted imidazoles. So, N-[(4-morpholinyl) ethyl)]-1-benzyl-2-(alkylthio)-1H-imidazole-5-carboxamides (7a-c) were synthesized and studied for the antidepressant activity using forced swimming test ...

A series of 2-substituted-4,5-diphenyl imidazoles 1a-j were synthesized by refluxing benzil with different substituted aldehydes in the presence of ammonium acetate and glacial acetic acid. Structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed on the basis of IR, 1H NMR and mass spectral data. Compounds 1a-j were screened for anthelmintic activity. Test results revealed that compounds showed p...

Cimetidine is the prototype antiulcer drug having the imidazole nucleus and acts by blocking histamine H2 receptors. Keeping this context in mind, an attempt has been made to study the antihistaminic activity of some novel 1-substituted imidazole derivatives on isolated guinea pig atria to reveal their desired pharmacological effects. In the present revision, some 1-substituted Imidazoles (1a-1...

A new mechanistic approach for the catalytic, enantioselective conjugate addition of nitrogen-based nucleophiles to acceptor-substituted alkenes is reported, which is based on a visible light induced and phosphate base promoted transfer of a single electron from a nitrogen nucleophile to a catalyst-bound acceptor-substituted alkene, followed by a stereocontrolled C-N bond formation through ster...

Quaternisation of 3,5-diaryl-1,2,4-thiadiazoles with trimethylsilylmethyl triflate at 40 8C occurred at N-2. Separate desilylation of the salts resulted in a ring expansion to substituted 2H-1,3,5-thiadiazines 5. Heating of these with ethanolic sodium ethoxide caused sulfur extrusion and ring contraction to 2,4-disubstituted imidazoles 6. 3,4-Diaryl1,2,5-thiadiazoles were less reactive to alkyl...

Oxidation of substituted imidazoles with modified Fenton's reagent (Fe(II), ascorbic acid, EDTA and H2O2) in aqueous solution at pH 5 -7 in the presence of inorganic orthophosphate gives high yields of an unknown bound phosphate, in the case of 2-methylimidazole up to 3 5 % based on inorganic phosphate. The dependence of the yields on reaction parameters and the hydrolytic behaviour of the comp...
