A series of 2-alkylsulfanyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-(2-aminopyridin-4-yl)-substituted imidazoles was prepared and interaction possibilities of the 2-thioether moiety with phosphate/ribose binding pockets of p38 MAP kinase were investigated. Introduction of the alkyl/benzyl amino function at the pyridine moiety was carried out via nucleophilic substitution or via palladium catalyzed aryl-C-N-bond f...

Chiral amines are an important class of organic compounds. They ubiquitous in chemistry and often serve as fundamental building blocks, versatile synthons, efficient chiral catalysts, ligands or auxiliaries asymmetric synthesis medicinal chemistry. During the past few decades, there has been remarkable progress development methods. Accordingly, synthesis, particularly catalytic enantioselective...

In a heretofore-unreported reaction, 1,2-cyclohexandione reacts with a variety of alcohols under mild acid-catalyzed dehydration conditions to afford not only ethers of 1,2cyclohexanedione but the corresponding aryl ethers as well in moderate to good yield.

The aims of this review were 1) to compile a large number of reliable literature data on the metabolic hydrolysis of medicinal carbamates and 2) to extract from such data a qualitative relation between molecular structure and lability to metabolic hydrolysis. The compounds were classified according to the nature of their substituents (R³OCONR¹R²), and a metabolic lability score was calculated f...

We have found that bromo(triphenylphosphine)copper(I), an air-stable and soluble copper(I) complex, can be used as a catalyst in the synthesis of diaryl ethers. Using this catalyst, we have synthesized diaryl ethers from electron-rich aryl bromides and electron-rich phenols in the presence of cesium carbonate, in 17–24 h, in NMP. We also found that electron-deficient aryl bromides couple with p...

4-Aryl-1,3-dihydroxy-2-naphthoates having the less accessible 1,2,3,4-tetrasubstituted naphthalene scaffold and that show photoluminescence emission from solid state as well in solutions, were selectively synthesized brominated lactol silyl ethers through 1,2-aryl-migrative ring rearrangement reaction.

Single-crystal X-ray analysis of the 5'-bromo-l',3'-xyly~-l8-crown-5* tert-butylammonium hexafluorophosphate complex shows that the complex is of the "nesting" type in which the cation and the aryl group are on the same face of the macroring and that the macroring has a (ag'a)(ag-a)lag'a)(ag-a)(ag'a)lag-a) eonformation. Among crown ethers with aryl-sub-units, 1' ,3'-xylyl crown ethers (1) have ...

SYNLETT 2007, No. 17, pp 2695–269816.10.2007 Advanced online publication: 25.09.2007 DOI: 10.1055/s-2007-991068; Art ID: U07007ST © Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York Abstract: A novel synthetic method for the preparation of various alkyl ethers is described. The reaction between alkyl halides and sodium hydride in the presence of N,N-dimethylformamide afforded the corresponding symmetric...

Concerted unimolecular eliminations from ionized sec-alkyl aryl ethers (ROAr (+*)) display a preference for producing double bonds with trans geometry. This preference can be assessed quantitatively, provided that a regioselective variant can be found. Expulsion of neutral alkenes via syn-elimination to give ionized ArOH does not exhibit a pronounced preference with regard to the direction of e...

The synthesis of 3-alkyl(aryl)-4-(3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzylidenamino)-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones 3 from the reactions of 3-alkyl(aryl)-4-amino-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-ones 2 with 3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzaldehyde is described. The acetylation and methylation reactions of the compounds 3 giving compounds of type 4 and 5, respectively, were investigated. The newly synthesized compound...
