An Ugi multicomponent reaction based two-step strategy was applied to generate medium-sized rings. In the first linear expansion phase, a series of diamines reacted with cyclic anhydrides to produce different lengths of terminal synthetic amino acids as the starting material for the second phase. The Ugi-4-center 3-component reaction was utilized to construct complex medium-sized rings (8-11) b...

Four diamines and three amino alcohols derived from 1-decanol, 1-dodecanol and 1,2-dodecanediol were evaluated in an in vitro assay against a mixture of trypomastigote and intracellular amastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi. Two of these compounds (6 and 7) showed better activity against both proliferative stages of T. cruzi than the positive control benznidazole, three were of similar potency ...

Plasma poly amines (spermidine and spermine) and diamines (diaminopropane, putrescine, and cadaverine) were determined after cold acid extraction of the blood plasma of patients suffering from severe liver insufficiency. Correlations were made with liver function tests, i.e. cholinesterase activity and normotest, a global test for the ability of the liver to synthesize the blood clotting factor...

The Amadori rearrangement was investigated for the synthesis of C-glycosyl-type neoglycoconjugates. Various amines including diamines, amino-functionalized glycosides, lysine derivatives, and peptides were conjugated with two different heptoses to generate non-natural C-glycosyl-type glycoconjugates of the d-gluco and d-manno series. With these studies, the scope and limitations of the Amadori ...

A concise two step synthesis of tetrazole containing macrocycles from readily accessible starting materials is presented. The first step comprises a chemoselective amidation of amino acid derived isocyanocarboxylicacid esters with unprotected symmetrical diamines to afford diverse α-isocyano-ω-amines. In the second step, the α-isocyano-ω-amines undergo an Ugi tetrazole reaction to close the mac...

The high commercial demand for quinoxalines needs a rapid, greener and safer synthetic method among the chemists. A series of quinoxaline derivatives has been synthesized by condensation of diamines and dicarboniles in microwave heating conditions and in solvent free media. This environmentally benign synthetic approach gives us excellent yields (80-90%) in shorter reaction time (3.5 minutes.)....

We describe the modular synthesis and characterization of several substituted N-hetero benzenacyclooctaphanes (BAOs), a new motif for heteroaromatic conjugated macrocycles. The targets were synthesized via condensation of substituted aromatic ortho-diamines with a cyclic octaketone building block in moderate to excellent yields (41-91 %). We evaluated the optical and electronic properties and t...

Abstract The emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have hazardous effects on humans and the environment, hence they should be detected reduced. In this study, polybenzoxazine (PBZ) amine-functionalized multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composites were synthesized as a sensor for VOCs. MWCNT functionalized with two types diamines, namely, 1,6-hexanediamine (HDA) phenylenediamine (PDA). ...
