2-Amino-3-cyano-4H-chromenes show great potential as novel anticancer agents. Here we report a quinine-catalyzed highly enantioselective formal 4 + 2 cycloaddition of ortho-quinone methides and malononitrile, providing a unique approach to 4-arylvinyl, 4-aryl and 4-vinyl 2-amino-3-cyano-4H-chromenes with excellent yields and enantioselectivities. Moreover, this reaction can be performed in up t...

In the title compound, C(15)H(10)O(4), the benzene ring is twisted at an angle of 20.7 (1)° relative to the 4H-chromene skeleton. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are linked via a network of O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The mean planes of adjacent 4H-chromene moieties are parallel or oriented at an angle of 20.9 (1)° in the crystal structure.

A whole family of annelated 4H-thiopyran-4-ones as the core structural unit was readily synthesized in good yields by a microwave-assisted coupling-addition-S(N)Ar (CASNAR) sequence starting from readily available (het)aroyl chlorides, alkynes and sodium sulfide nonahydrate in a consecutive one-pot three-component reaction. All representatives display a pronounced halochromicity of the absorpti...

A theoretical-guided design concept aiming to achieve highly efficient unidirectional charge transfer and multi-charge separation upon successive photoexcitation for light-harvesting dyes in the scope of supramolecular photocatalysts is presented. Four 4H-imidazole-ruthenium(ii) complexes incorporating a biimidazole-based electron-donating ligand sphere have been designed based on the well-know...

In this study appropriate hydrazide compounds, furan-2-carboxylic acid hydrazide (1) and phenylacetic acid hydrazide (2) were converted into 1,4-substituted thiosemicarbazides 4a-e and 5a-e and 4-amino-5-(furan-2-yl or benzyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols 7 and 10. The 1,4-substituted thiosemicarbazides were then converted into 5-(furan-2-yl or benzyl)-4-(aryl)-4H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols 8a-e and...

Monoand homobinuclear Ru (II) complexes were prepared by the reaction of [Ru (bipy) 2Cl2] H2O with 4-amino-3,5-dI (2-byridyl) -4H-1,2,4-triazole (adapt); ( 4-byridyl) -3,5-dI (2-byridyl) -4H-1,2,4-triazole (Pydpt), and 4-( 4-methylphenyl) -3,5-DI (2-byridyl) -4H-1,2,4-triazole (mpdpt). The products were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, electronic and 1H NMR spectral however molar conduc...

A series of 2-substituted 6-hydroxy-1,2,4-triazine-3,5(2H,4H)-dione derivatives were synthesized as inhibitors of D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO). Many compounds in this series were found to be potent DAAO inhibitors, with IC50 values in the double-digit nanomolar range. The 6-hydroxy-1,2,4-triazine-3,5(2H,4H)-dione pharmacophore appears metabolically resistant to O-glucuronidation unlike other str...

A series of S-glycosyl and S-alkyl derivatives of 4-amino-3-mercapto-6-(2-(2-thienyl)vinyl)-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one (1) were synthesized using different halo compounds such as preacetylated sugar bromide, 4-bromobutylacetate, 2-acetoxyethoxy-methyl bromide, 3-chloropropanol, 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol, epichlorohydrin, allyl bromide, propargyl bromide, phthalic and succinic acids in POCl3. The str...
