The vaporization enthalpies of 1-methyl-, 1-ethyl-, 1-phenyl-, and 1-benzylimidazole, 1-methyl- and 1-phenylpyrazole, and trans-azobenzene are evaluated by correlation-gas chromatography (C-GC) using a variety of azines and diazines as standards. The vaporization enthalpies obtained by C-GC when compared to literature values are approximately 14 kJ·mol(-1) smaller for the imidazoles and 6 kJ·mo...

This study demonstrates the first enantioselective synthesis of hydroxyalkyl- and aminoalkyl-substituted imidazoles, oxazoles, and thiazoles. The approach developed utilizes a highly effective one-pot reaction cascade that consists of either an organocatalytic epoxidation or aziridination of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes coupled with a [3+2]-annulation, in which amidines, ureas, or thioureas act as...

A novel one-pot synthesis of tri-substituted purines and the discovery of purine analogues with trypanocidal activity are reported. The reaction is initiated by a metal-free oxidative coupling of primary alkoxides and diaminopyrimidines with Schiff base formation and subsequent annulation in the presence of large N,N-dimethylamides (e.g. N,N-dimethylpropanamide or larger). This synthetic route ...

A three-component reaction has been developed that allows the regioselective synthesis of thieno[2,3-c]pyrroles. The reaction is based on the ability of 2-acetyl-3-thiophenecarboxaldehyde to react with amine and thiol nucleophiles to produce the corresponding tri-substituted thieno[2,3-c]pyrroles, with water as the only by-product. The developed reaction expands the range of synthetically acces...

New resveratrol (trans-3,4',5-trihydroxystilbene) analogs were synthesized and screened for their in vitro cancer chemopreventive potential using various bioassays relevant for the prevention of carcinogenesis in humans: two assays to detect modulators of carcinogen metabolism (Cyp1A inhibition; determination of NAD(P)H/quinone reductase (QR) activity), three assays to identify radical scavengi...

We investigated the effect of fifteen 1,5-disubstituted imidazoles (1,5-dis) on juvenile hormone III (JH III) and methyl farnesoate (MF) biosynthesis by the corpora allata (CA) of the mosquito Aedes aegypti in vitro. Four compounds (TH-35, TH-83, TH-62 and TH-28) significantly decreased JH biosynthesis in the CA dissected from 3-day old sugar-fed females. The decrease of JH synthesis was not al...

effects of imidazoles and substituted pyridines and pure s-donors on the oxidation of cyclooctene with naio4 by 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato-manganese(iii) acetate, mn(tpp)oac, and 5,10,15,20-tetramesitylporphyrinato-manganese(iii) acetate, mn(tmp)oac, catalysts in ch2cl2-h2o solvent are studied. coordination of the nitrogen donors to the mn-catalysts generally caused a reduction in the e...

Abstract A detailed study of the ability pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (1) and its 4-mono- 3,4,5-tri-substituted analogues to sensitize emission from Pr3+, Nd3+, Gd3+, Dy3+ Er3+ is presented. Sensitization Ln3+ was demonstrated via ligands in all complexes, excluding with covering spectral range 500 nm 1850 nm obtained variation ion. From ligand-based photoluminescence Gd3+-complexes, relative...
