The title compound, C(21)H(19)BrN(2)O(2), is an amidine containing electron-donating meth-oxy groups and a bulky Br atom on the benzene rings. The solid-state structure reveals a non-centrosymmetric mol-ecule, with an E configuration around the C=N double bond. The C-N bonds show distinct amine [1.3689 (19) Å] and imine [1.285 (2) Å] characteristics. In the crystal, symmetry-related mol-ecules ...

Various 2,4,6-trisubstituted 1,3,5-triazines were smoothly formed via TBHP-mediated direct oxidative coupling of amidine and methylarenes. This tandem oxidation-imination-cyclization transformation exhibits a straightforward protocol to prepare 1,3,5-triazines from easily available starting materials and green oxidants under metal-free conditions.

The crystal structures of the title 1,4-bis(4-cyanobenzyl)piperazine (1) and 1,4-bis(4-amidinobenzyl)piperazine tetrahydrochloride tetrahydrate (2) are reported. Compound (1) crystallizes in the triclinic space group P\bar 1 and compound (2) in the monoclinic space group P21/n. In both (1) and (2) the asymmetric unit contains one half of the molecule because the central piperazine rings were lo...

Since alcohols are accessible from indigestible biomass (lignocellulose), the development of novel preferentially catalytic reactions in which alcohols are converted into important classes of fine chemicals is a central topic of sustainable synthesis. Multicomponent reactions are especially attractive in organic chemistry as they allow the synthesis of large libraries of diversely functionalize...

By using [RuCl2(p-Cymene)]2/Cs2CO3 as an efficient catalyst system, the readily available, inexpensive aryl methanols were firstly employed for dehydrogenative synthesis of aryl substituted 1,3,5-triazine derivatives. Due to the inherent stability of alcohols in contrast with aldehydes, our synthetic protocol is adaptable to a broad substrate scope, there is no need for stringent protection dur...

Single benzamidine group-carrying compounds were shown to interact with the Trypanosoma brucei P2 aminopurine transporter. Replacement of the amidine with a guanidine group decreased affinity. Trypanocidal activity was evident, but compounds were equally toxic against trypanosomes lacking the P2 transporter, which indicates additional uptake routes for monobenzamidine-derived compounds.

A practical and highly stereoselective approach to access 2,6-disubstituted piperidines using an amidine auxiliary is reported. Following the diastereoselective addition of Grignard reagents at the 2-position of an activated pyridinium salt, the amidine group directs a regioselective metalation at the 6-position, enabling further functionalization. A subsequent electrophilic quench or a Negishi...

In the title compound, C(13)H(16)N(6)O·H(2)O, the mean planes of the benzene and 1,2,4-triazole rings form a dihedral angle of 54.80 (5)°. The N atom of the amino group adopts a trigonal-pyramidal configuration. Conjugation in the amidine N=C-N fragment results in sufficient shortening of the formal single bond. In the crystal, inter-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules into...

We have developed a general and highly efficient copper-catalyzed method for synthesis of quinazoline and quinazolinone derivatives, the target products were obtained in good to excellent yields via cascade reactions of amidine hydrochlorides with substituted 2-halobenzaldehydes, 2-halophenylketones, or methyl 2-halobenzoates, and the method is of simple, economical and practical advantages.
