We report structure-activity studies of a large number of dialkyl imidazoles as inhibitors of Trypanosoma cruzi lanosterol-14alpha-demethylase (L14DM). The compounds have a simple structure compared to posaconazole, another L14DM inhibitor that is an anti-Chagas drug candidate. Several compounds display potency for killing T. cruzi amastigotes in vitro with values of EC(50) in the 0.4-10 nM ran...

Syntheses of various classes of fused-imidazoles are reported. The key to their successful synthesis depends on the reaction of N-vinyl-1H-imidazole with the π-deficient compounds under basic conditions. Reaction of the target imidazole with 1,1,2,2-tetracyanoethylene and dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate afforded pyrrolo[1,2-a]imidazoles. On the other site, reaction of the target imidazole with ...

Kaolin-SO3H as a new solid acid is prepared via reaction of kaolin and chlorosulfonic acid. This natural based catalyst is very inexpensive and easy available. Imidazoles are an important class of heterocycles being the core fragment of different natural products and biological systems such as anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antifungal, antimycotic, antibiotic, antiulcerative, anti...

In this research, (Carboxy-3-oxopropylamino)-3-propylsilylcellulose (COPAPSC) as an organocatalyst, has been synthesized by grafting of succinic anhydride on the NH2-modified cellulose (cellulose functionalized with 3- aminopropyltriethoxysilane). The –CO2H group-functionalized cellulose (COPAPSC) is used as a catalyst for the synthesis of coumarin derivatives from the reaction of phenolic subs...

H3PW12O40 (PW12) was immobilized over mesoporous alumina through the reaction of mesoporous alumina functionalized 3-aminopropyl triethoxy silane (3-APTES) and PW12. The surface properties of the functionalized nanocomposite was analyzed by a series of characterization techniques like elemental analysis, FTIR and XRD. XRD and adsorption–desorption analysis shows that the mesostructure of silica...

Oxidation of substituted imidazoles with modified Fenton's reagent (Fe(II), ascorbic acid, EDTA and H2O2) in aqueous solution at pH 5 -7 in the presence of inorganic orthophosphate gives high yields of an unknown bound phosphate, in the case of 2-methylimidazole up to 3 5 % based on inorganic phosphate. The dependence of the yields on reaction parameters and the hydrolytic behaviour of the comp...

Ni(0)-catalyzed dehydrogenation of benzylic-type imines was performed to yield asymmetrical tetra-substituted imidazoles and 2-imidazolines. This was achieved with a single operational step while maintaining good selectivity and atom economy. The catalytic system shows low to moderate tolerance for fluoro-, trifluoromethyl-, methyl-, and methoxy-substituted benzylic-type imines. In addition, th...

al-mcm-41 nanoreactors is found to be a remarkable efficient catalyst for one-pot multicomponent cyclocondensation of benzil, aniline or ammonium acetate and aromatic aldehydes for the synthesis of polysubstituted imidazoles under solvent-free conditions. the reaction was efficiently promoted by 10 mg nano-al-mcm-41 and the heterogeneous catalyst was recycled for four runs in this reaction with...

Abstract A pentasaccharide repeating unit corresponding to the cell wall O-antigen of Salmonella enterica O55 containing a rare sugar, 3-acetamido-3-deoxy-d-fucose has been synthesized as its p-methoxyphenyl glycoside using sequential stereoselective glycosylation strategy. suitably functionalized 3-azido-3-deoxy-d-fucose thioglycoside derivative was prepared in very good yield and used reactio...
