A series of novel 3-(indol-1-yl)prop-1-yn-1-yl-substituted phthalazines and related azines was prepared via a concise pathway by palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of appropriate halo-azines and N-propargylindoles. Some of the compounds exhibited significant antitumor activity in an in-vitro assay.

Further investigations into the molecular actions of the 14-hydroxydihydromorphinone hydrazones (naloxazone, oxymorphazone, and naltrexazone) have suggested that their irreversible actions can be explained by the formation of their azines. These azines, naloxonazine, naltrexonazine, and oxymorphonazine, irreversibly block opiate binding in vitro 20- to 40-fold more potently than their correspon...

Azines (2,3-diazabuta-1,3-dienes) are a widely used class of compounds with conjugated C=N double bonds. Herein, we present a direct synthesis of azines from alcohols and hydrazine hydrate. The reaction, catalyzed by a ruthenium pincer complex, evolves dihydrogen and can be run in a base-free version. The dehydrogenative coupling of benzylic and aliphatic alcohols led to good conversions and yi...

Highly conjugated azines were prepared by solid state grinding of solid hydrazine and carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes and ketones, using a mortar and a pestle. Complete conversion to the azine product is generally achieved at room temperature within 24 h, without using solvents or additives. The solid-state reactions afford azines as the sole products with greater than 97% yield, producing...

We reported herein efficient green procedures for the synthesis of arene-linked bis(azoles) and bis(azines) using bis(enaminone) as a key intermediate. For this purpose, were reacted with different nucleophiles under pressurized reaction “Q-tube system” to afford target bis(azines). The structures compounds confirmed via considering their elemental analyses well spectral data. used protocol sho...

Asymmetric donor]acceptor-substituted p-conjugated systems with low dipole moments and structural components that favor parallel alignment of neighboring molecules are potential molecular organic materials with nonlinear optical properties for which near prefect dipole parallel alignment is possible. The asymmetrical 4-methoxysubstituted acetophenone azines with Ž . Ž . Ž . Ž . Ž . the substitu...

2-Trichloromethylbenzimidazole (TCMB) was used as a chromogenic reagent in organic or inorganic analysis, mainly in thin-layer chromatography (TLC). In reactions of TCMB with some heteroaromatic nitrogen containing compounds, such as azines, azoles and benzazoles, a formation of high colored products occurred. For azines, the chromogenic reaction was highly regioselective, since the both adjace...
