To develop novel antimycobacterial agents, a new series of thiazolidinone-azole hybrids 4a-b, 5a-b and 6-13 were designed and synthesized. Thiazolidin-4-ones (4a-b and 5a-b) were obtained by the reaction of Schiff bases and hydrazones (2a-b and 3a-b) with mercaptoacetic acid. 5-Benzylidene derivatives (6-13) were gained by treatment of 5a-b with appropriate benzaldehydes according to Knoevenage...

A new class of tricyclic heterocycles 4H-benzo[g][1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-c][1,4]oxazocines was synthesized through a Knoevenagel condensation/azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction cascade in one-pot operation. These eight membered ring containing heterocycles exhibited moderately high anticancer activity against four cancer cell lines; human cervix cancer cell line (HeLa), human prostate cancer cell ...

BACKGROUND Organic fluorophore contains well-defined D-π-A (Donor-π system-Acceptor) push-pull system have wide application in the field of NLO, OLED and high tech application. Electron donor diphenyl, triphenyl and carbazole conjugated with electron acceptor terminal through π-system were reported recently for high-tech applications. N,N-Dialkyl substituted 1,3,5-triazine also acts as donor ke...

Some new sydnonyl-substituted thiazolidine derivatives were synthesized in high yields by the modified Knoevenagel condensation of 3-aryl-4-formylsydnones with thiazolidine-2,4-dione and 2-thioxo-thiazolidine-4-one, respectively. All the synthesized thiazolidine derivatives were screened by paper-disc method to identify their antimicrobial activities against three bacteria viz. Staphylococcus a...

The ionic liquid 1,3-dimethylimidazolium methyl sulfate, [MMIm][MSO₄], together with a small amount of water (the amount taken up by the ionic liquid upon exposure to air), acts efficiently as both solvent and catalyst of the Knoevenagel condensation reactions of malononitrile with 4-substituted benzaldehydes, without the need for any other solvent or promoter, affording yields of 92%-99% withi...

A novel series of 3-(2-amino-6-pyrimidin-4-yl)-6-bromo-2H-chromen-2-one (5a-5j) were synthesized from 3-acetyl-6-bromo-2H-chromen-2-one (3). The structures of the synthesized compounds were elucidated by IR, H-NMR, C-NMR, and mass spectroscopic techniques. The synthesized compounds were screened for in-vivo analgesic activity at a dose of 20 mg/kg body weight. Among them, compounds 5a, 5b and 5...

Alkyl cyanoacrylates are interesting products for use in industry because of their properties enabling them to stick together a wide range of substrates. n-Butyl cyanoacrylate is one of the most successfully used tissue adhesives in the field of medicine because it exhibits bacteriostatic and haemostatic characteristics, in addition to its adhesive properties. At present, its synthesis is perfo...

1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloroaluminate, [bmim]Cl·AlCl3, N=0.67 and 1-butylpyridinium chloroaluminate, [bpy]Cl·AlCl3, N=0.67 ionic liquids were found to work well as the Lewis acid catalyst and solvent in the Knoevenagel condensations of benzaldehyde and substituted benzaldehydes with diethyl malonate to give benzylidene malonates. The benzylidene malonates subsequently underwent Michael ad...

An efficient construction of 2-(N-arylamino)benzaldehydes and N-aryl-3,10-dihydroacridin-1(2H)-one derivatives starting from 2- hydroxybenzaldehydes has been developed. The synthesis of N-aryl-3,10-dihydroacridin-1(2H)-ones is based on the Knoevenagel condensation of dimedone to various 2-(N-arylamino)benzaldehydes, followed by an intramolecular enamination in the presence of 20 mol% of nanocry...

In the present study, nine bis-azo dyes based on 5-arylidene-2,4-thiazolidinone were obtained in two steps, using Knoevenagel condensation and azo coupling reactions. The structure of the dyes was confirmed on the basis of spectral data. Analysis of spectroscopic data shows that there is equilibrium between the azo and hydrazone tautomers for all dyes in solutions. Investigation of antioxidant ...
