A series of thiourea and guanidinium derivatives have been prepared and their ability to bind a carboxylate group has been investigated. Guanidinium 33, featuring two additional amides and a pyridine moiety, proved to be the most potent carboxylate binding site and was able to bind acetate in aqueous solvent systems (K(ass) = 480 M(-1) in 30% H(2)O-DMSO). The pyridine moiety is critical to obta...

A structure-activity relationship (SAR) study on 5-substituted oxazolidinones as an antibacterial agent is described. The oxazolidinones, of which 5-acetylaminomethyl moiety was converted into other functions, were prepared and evaluated for antibacterial activity. Elongation of the methylene chain (8) and conversion of the acetamido moiety into guanidino moiety (12) decreased the antibacterial...

Poly(N-(hydroxymethyl)methacrylamide)-1-allyl-2-thiourea) hydrogels, poly(NHMMA-ATU), were synthesized by gamma radiation using (60)Co gamma source in the ternary mixture of NHMMA-ATU-H(2)O. These hydrogels were used for the specific gold, silver, platinum and palladium recovery, pre-concentration and matrix elimination from the solutions containing trace amounts of precious metal ions. Elimina...

T HE discovery of thiouracil and its derivatives as potent substances for inhibiting the function of the thyroid gland (Astwood, ~943; Astwood et al., I94 ~ and McGinty and Bywater, I94g) has made it possible to study some of the effects of limiting thyroid functions. A detailed report indicative of the effects of these substances on the thyroid gland is given by Astwood et al. (~943). They rep...

Thiourea derivatives display a broad spectrum of applications in chemistry, various industries, medicines and various other fields. Recently, different thiourea derivatives have been synthesized and explored for their anti-microbial properties. In this study, four carbonyl thiourea derivatives were synthesized and characterized, and then further tested for their anti-amoebic properties on two p...

The pyrimidine thione derivatives 2a-d were prepared by the reaction of thiourea, ethyl cyanoacetate and several aromatic aldehydes. The acyclic thioglycosides 4a-7d were prepared by the reaction of the synthesized pyrimidine thiones 2a-d with different alkyl halides, whereas the reaction of 2a-d with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl bromide afforded the cyclic thioglycosides 8a-d ...

X-Ray diffraction studies reveal that the tunnel inclusion compound formed between 1-tert-butyl-4-iodobenzene and thiourea has an incommensurate relationship between the periodicities of the host and guest substructures along the tunnel axis, representing the first reported case of an incommensurate thiourea inclusion compound.

A bioassay of 1-phenyl-2-thiourea for possible carcinogenicity was conducted using Fischer 344 rats and B6C3F1 mice. 1-Phenyl-2-thiourea was administered in the feed, at either of two concentrations, to groups of 50 male and 50 female animals of each species. The high and low concentrations of 1-phenyl-2-thiourea utilized in the chronic bioassay were, respectively, 120 and 60 ppm for rats and 3...

In the title compound, C(12)H(14)O(4), the two acet-oxy groups are inclined by 57.92 (5)° and 62.71 (6)° to the benzene ring. An inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-action involving the two acet-oxy groups generates a centrosymmetric dimer via an R(2) (2)(16) ring motif.

Treating 2-chloro-4-(4-chlorophenyl)-6-methylbenzo[d]-3,1-oxazinium hexachloroantimonate (1) with one equivalent of alcohol or mercaptane led, after hydrolysis with aq. NaOH, to the formation of 4,4-disubstituted-1,4-dihydro-2H-6-methyl-3,1-benzoxazin-2-ones (3). Large excess addition of alcohol afforded either 4’-chloro-2-isocyanato-5-methylbenzophenone disubstitutedketal (4) or N-{2[(4-chloro...
