Morphology is crucial to determining the photovoltaic performance of organic solar cells (OSCs). However, manipulating morphology involving only small-molecule donors and acceptors extremely challenging. Herein, a simple terminal alkyl chain engineering process introduced fine-tune towards high-performance all-small-molecule (ASM) OSCs. We successfully chose chlorinated two-dimension benzo[1,2-...

A series of novel pyrano[3,2-c]carbazole derivatives have been synthesized by a simple one-pot, three component reaction of aromatic aldehydes, malononitrile-ethyl cyanoacetate and 4-hydroxycarbazoles catalyzed by triethylamine. The antiproliferative activity of the derivatives on various cancer cell lines such as MDA-MB-231, K562, A549 and HeLa was investigated. Among 9a-p, congeners 9a, 9c, 9...

1-(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)-3-(4-fluorophenyl)propen-1-one (1) was prepared and reacted with an active methylene compound (ethyl cyanoacetate) in the presence of ammonium acetate to give the corresponding cyanopyridone 2. Compound 2 reacted with hydrazine hydrate, malononitrile, ethyl bromoacetate and phosphorous oxychloride to afford compounds 4 and 7-11, respectively. The 2-chloropyridine derivati...

4-(2-(4-Halophenyl)hydrazinyl)-6-phenylpyridazin-3(2H)-ones 1a,b were prepared and treated with phosphorus oxychloride, phosphorus pentasulphide and ethyl chloroformate to give the corresponding chloropyridazine, pyridazinethione, oxazolopyridazine derivatives 2-4, respectively. Compound 2 reacted with hydrazine hydrate to afford hydrazinylpyridazine 7. The reaction of 4-(2-(4-chlorophenyl)hydr...

A new series of heterocycles incorporating antipyrine moiety were synthesized via reactions of 4-aminoantipyrine 1 with carbon disulphide then alkylation and /or chloroacetic acid to produce dithiocarbamate and rhodanine 3, 4 and 9. Multi-component reaction (MCR) of 4-aminoantipyrine with carbon disulfide and DMAD afforded rhodanine 7. The interaction of 9 with diazonium salt, DMF-DMA, nitrous ...

Self-assembly is crucial for small molecular organic solar cells, which are extremely sensitive to the molecular structure. In this work, three subtle structural changed end-capped acceptors with increased electron withdrawing ability, named octyl 2-cyanoacetate (=CNCOOC8H17), 3-oxoundecanenitrile (=CNCOC8H17), and 2-(octylsulfonyl) acetonitrile (=CNSOOC8H17), were synthesized and introduced in...

Article history: Received on: 08/11/2014 Revised on: 22/11/2014 Accepted on: 18/12/2014 Available online: 29/12/2014 A series of new thiopyrimidine derivatives were synthesized via the reaction of ethyl cyanoacetate with thiourea and the appropriate aldehydes namely, 3-methoxy-benzaldehyde, 2, 5-dimethoxy-benzaldehyde and 3,5dimethoxy-benzaldehyde to give the corresponding pyridine thiones 1a-c...

A new series of the title compounds incorporated into diverse N and O heterocyclic moieties of pharmacoavailability as anti-inflammatory or analgesic agents, were synthesized starting with 6-bromo-2-phenyl-4H-3,1-benzoxazin-4-one (I) by its fusion with p-aminoacetophenone to give the intermediate compound, 6-bromo-2-phenyl-3-(4-acetylphenyl)-4(3H)quinazolinone (II). The one pot reaction of II w...
