a series of n-substituted-2,4-thiazolidinedione derivatives (tzds) were prepared via n-alkylation of 2,4-tzd at position 3 using substituted benzyl halides. synthesized n-substituted-2,4-tzd was then substituted at position 5 with substituted aromatic aldehyde according to knoevenagel condensation method. structures of the compounds were elucidated using various spectral techniques viz. ir, 1hn...

The mechanochemical N-alkylation of imide derivatives was studied. Reactions under solvent-free conditions in a ball mill gave good yields and could be put in place of the classical solution conditions. The method is general and can be applied to various imides and alkyl halides. Phthalimides prepared under ball milling conditions were used in a mechanochemical Gabriel synthesis of amines by th...

Alkylating agents, mechlorethamine and N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, induce the production of plasminogen activator in U-87MG cells, an alkylation DNA repair deficient (Mer-) human glioblastoma strain. Enzyme induction was not observed, however, in U-178MG and SH-101 cells, alkylation repair proficient (Mer+) glioblastoma strains, or in HeLa cells, which reactivated and supported well t...

A class of monoorganoimido-substituted hexamolybdates containing a pyridine group have been firstly synthesized. Furthermore, a reaction protocol of alkylation based on the resulting pyridine-functionalized hexamolybdates has been developed, with which a type of zwitterionic clusters has been successfully obtained.
