The title compound, C(10)H(14)N(2)O(3)·H(2)O, was synthesized by alkyl-ation of methyl 3-(1H-pyrrole-2-carboxamido)-propion-ate with ethyl bromide, followed by saponification and acidification. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules, forming layers parallel to the ac plane.

An alternative method for the synthesis of acetamidobenzimidazoles (3-6) has been developed, including reacylation methylbenzimidazol-2-ylcarbamate (carbendazim, MBC, 1) under action aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids. It was shown that with an increase in size alkyl group reaction temperature (in case butyric acid), due to decomposition resulting product, yield target acyl products sharpl...

A novel series of medium size (S)-3-alkyl-3,4,6,7-tetrahydro-1H-benzo[e][1,4]diazonine-2,5-dione (6a-f) analogues were synthesized from (E)-3-(2-nitrophenyl)acrylicacid (2) reacting with various amino acid esters using Di-isopropyl Carbodiimide as a coupling agent. The final cyclization is carried out by using reagent 1-Ethyl-3(3-dimethylaminopropyl) Carbodiimide Hydrochloride. The synthesized ...

An efficient methodology to obtain novel antifungal analogs of brassinin 1 is described. Starting from l-tryptophan 2, N,N'-dialkylthiourea 4, 4-[(1H-indol-3-yl)methylene]-2-sulfanylidene-1,3-thiazolidin-5-one 5 and alkyl (2S)-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-{[(alkylsulfanyl)carbonothioyl]amino}propanoate 6 type compounds were obtained as main products in different ratios depending on the reaction conditio...

Methods for the construction of thiazolo-, thiazino-, and thiazepino-2H-indazoles from o-nitrobenzaldehydes or o-nitrobenzyl bromides and S-trityl-protected 1°-aminothioalkanes are reported. The process consists of formation of the requisite N-(2-nitrobenzyl)(tritylthio)alkylamine, subsequent deprotection of the trityl moiety with TFA, and immediate treatment with aq. KOH in methanol under Davi...

The kinetics of proton-coupled electron-transfer (pcet) reactions are reported for Mn4O4(O2PPh2)6, 1, and [Mn4O4(O2PPh2)6] , 1 , with phenothiazine (pzH). Both pcet reactions form 1H, by H transfer to 1 and by hydride transfer to 1 . Surprisingly, the rate constants differ by only 25% despite large differences in the formal charges and driving force. The driving force is proportional to the dif...

Complexes [Pd{(S)-NHCMes,R}2] (R = Me, 2a; iPr, 2b; iBu, 2c) and [Pd{(R)-NHCMes,Me}2] (2a’) were prepared by reaction of the corresponding imidazolium precursor [ImMes,R] (namely (S)–2-alkyl(3-mesityl-1H-imidazol-3-ium-1-yl)acetate, 1a-c, (R)-2-methyl(3-mesityl-1H-imidazol-3-ium-1-yl)acetate, 1a’), with Ag2O subsequent interaction Pd(OAc)2, under appropriate conditions. Alternatively, complexes...

Alkyl 2-cyano-3-methylthio-3-phosphonylacrylates were synthesized by the reaction of alkyl 2-cyano-3,3-dimethylthioacrylates with dialkyl phosphites. The structures of the new compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, 1H-, 13C- and 31P-NMR spectral data. These compounds were tested in vitro against pathogenic fungi, namely, Fusarium graminearum, Cytospora mandshurica and Fusarium ...

The synthesis of some novel alkyl/aryl substituted tertiary alcohols was accomplished in two steps. The synthetic route involves preparation of Grignard reagents by treating alkyl/aryl bromides with magnesium turnings in dry ether. Then substituted chalcones were reacted with the Grignard reagents to afford alkyl/aryl substituted tertiary alcohols 1-10. The structures of the synthesized compoun...
