α-Nitro-δ-keto nitriles and α-nitro-δ-keto ester were readily converted to diazabicyclo compounds having vicinal functionality upon treatment with diamines. The keto nitrile attracts the diamine nearby to an acidic hydrogen to cause the pseudo-intramolecular imination which proceeds efficiently without any catalyst at room temperature.

Pyrene-based compounds have a great potential as fluorescent chemosensors for various analytes including common nitro-explosives, such 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). Compounds having two pyrene units in one molecule, bispyrenylalkanes, are able to form stable, bright emissive visual wavelength region excimers both non-polar and polar environments. In this work we wish report that solvents the exc...

Crystalline 4-nitro-1-phenylimidazole, C9H7N3O2, (I), and 4'-nitro-1-phenyl-4,1'-biiimidazole, C12H9N5O2, (II), contain C-H...O and C-H...N hydrogen bonds, connecting the molecules into infinite chains. The aromatic fragments in both compounds are nearly planar. The dihedral angles between the benzene and imidazole rings are 26.78 (5) degrees in (I) and 29.36 (8) degrees in (II).

substituted schiff bases (hydrazones) 5a-j have been prepared from the starting material 2-chloro pyridine-3-carboxylic acid 1 by a sequence of reactions like reaction with 2-amino-6-nitro benzothiazole (ullamann condensation), thionyl chloride, hydrazine hydrate and different aromatic aldehydes. on cyclocondensation of 5a-j with thioglycolic acid in dry 1,4-dioxane furnished desired compounds ...
