A series of 22 novel 1,2-disubstituted-1H-benzimidazole-N-alkylated-5- carboxamidine derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro antibacterial activity against S. aureus and methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA), E. coli, E. faecalis and for antifungal activity against C. albicans. Compound 59 [1-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)-N- (2-diethylaminoethyl)-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxamidine], with ...

In this study, twenty two new N,N-disubstituted dithiocarbamate derivatives were synthesized. The structures of the compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H-NMR, mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Anticholinergic activities of the compounds were evaluated by the tests performed on isolated rat ileum and were compared with atropine sulfate. 1-(Diphenylamino)-1-oxopropan-2-yl 4-methylpiperazine ...

In the title compound, C(12)H(18)N(4)O(2), unlike other unconjugated disubstituted biimidazole derivatives reported so far, the two imidazole rings in a trans conformation exhibit a large planar rotation angle of 51.27 (4)°, and consist of half-mol-ecule asymmetric units related by a twofold rotation. The mol-ecules are linked into a three-dimensional framework with a parallel laminated constru...

A triple mutant of P450pyr monooxygenase (P450pyrTM) catalysed the epoxidation of several para-substituted styrenes as the first enzyme showing high (R)-enantioselectivity and high conversion, demonstrated a broad substrate range, and showed high enantioselectivity for the epoxidation of an unconjugated 1,1-disubstituted alkene, 2-methyl-3-phenyl-1-propene, and a cyclic alkene, N-phenoxycarbony...

A catalytic method has been developed for construction of indoline-2-thiones containing an all-carbon quaternary centre at the C-3 position. Successive treatment of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes bearing an isothiocyanato moiety with an in situ generated N-heterocyclic carbene and an appropriate heteroatomic nucleophile provided the 3,3-disubstituted indoline derivatives in moderate to good yields.

We have described the first successful application of non-N-donor heterodonor ligands--thioether-phosphite ligands--in the Ir-catalyzed hydrogenation of minimally functionalized olefins. Excellent enantioselectivities (ee's up to 99%) have been obtained for a range of substrates, including challenging terminal disubstituted substrates, under standard conditions.

A (2R,4S)-trans-disubstituted pyrrolidine ring system was constructed by employing iodine-mediated oxidative cyclization of (1R)-N-[1-(4-bromophenyl)-3-butenyl]acetamide 3 as a key step. The resulting diastereomeric mixture of (2R)-2-aryl-4-acetoxypyrrolidine 4 was stereoselectively converted to the side-chain of a novel ultrabroad-spectrum carbapenem 1, via (2R,4R)-2-aryl-4-hydroxypyrrolidine 7.

N-type pyrazine-based 1,4- and 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole derivatives, showing unique aggregation-enhanced emission characteristics, were facilely prepared via Cu- and Ru-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloadditions, respectively. Thanks to their electron-deficient properties, they could readily form red-emissive charge transfer complexes with electron-donating triphenylamine in the aggregate an...

The 3,5-disubstituted tetrahydro-2H-1,3,5-thiadiazine-2-thione scaffold has found many applications in recent years. This review is aimed at highlighting the most important aspects of these compounds: synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and biological activities. How the chemical nature of N-substituents influences the overall activity and cytotoxicity profile will also be discussed.

A 192-member library of N,N'-disubstituted urea inhibitors was synthesized by a solid-phase method. The ureas were tested for their inhibitory activities against recombinant human soluble epoxide hydrolase. Simple carbocyclic or para/meta-substituted phenyl groups showed inhibition potencies that were equal to or greater than adamantane-based sEH inhibitors, while the presence of bulky or ioniz...
