Chemical modification of chitosan is increasingly studied for its potential of providing new applications of chitosan. Here, a group of novel chitosan quaternary ammonium derivatives containing pyridine or amino-pyridine were designed and successfully synthesized through chemical modification of chitosan. Pyridine and amino-pyridine were used as functional groups to improve the antifungal activ...

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(10)H(9)N(3)S, is almost planar, with a dihedral angle of 1.38 (4)° between the thio-phene and pyridine rings. In the crystal packing, mol-ecules are linked into layers parallel to the ab plane by inter-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds and by π⋯π stacking inter-actions involving adjacent pyridine and thio-phene rings with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.537...

The mol-ecule of the title compound, C(10)H(10)N(2)O(2)S, is essentially planar, except for the ethyl group, which is twisted away from the carboxyl plane by -90.5 (3)°. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked into a zigzag sheet propagating along the b axis by inter-molecular N-H⋯O and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.

2-Sulfanyl-6-(2-thienyl)pyridine-3-carbonitrile, 1-Amino-6-(5-bromo-benzofuran-2-yl)-2-oxo-1,2-dihydro-pyridine-3-carbonitrile, thieno[2,3-b]pyridins, pyrimidino[4',5':4,5] thieno[2,3-b]pyridine, quinazoline and carbamate derivatives were synthesized from sodium 3-(5-bromobenzofuran-2-yl)-3-oxoprop-1-en-1-olate with. The newly synthesized compounds were elucidated by elemental analysis, spectra...
