The reactions of sodium benzoate with a series of trimesylates derived from glucosamine have been examined in an attempt to gain facile access to galactosamine analogues. Trimesylate 17, in which the amino group was protected as a phthalimide, underwent double displacement at positions 4 and 6 to give the dibenzoate 18 with the desired galactosamine configuration. In contrast, trimesylates 21 a...

A series of N-substituted phthalimide derivatives were synthesized based on a pharmacophore study of paecilocin A (a natural PPAR-γ agonist) and synthetic leads. The introduction of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups to the phthalimide skeleton yielded compounds 3-14. Compound 7 showed significant PPAR-γ activation in a luciferase assay using rat liver Ac2F cells. Docking simulations showed tha...

ROMP is an effective method for preparing functional polymers due to its having characteristics of "living" polymerization and rapid development of catalysts. In the present work, poly(norbornene-methylamine), a mimic of chitosan, was synthesized via ROMP reaction. The amino-protected product, 5-norbornene-2-(N-methyl)-phthalimide, was prepared by a reaction of 5-norbornene-2-methylamine with p...

The general lipid-lowering action of the N-substituted phthalimide derivatives reported herein, as well as the activity of potassium phthalimide, implicates the phthalimide moiety as possessing hypolipidemic activity in rodents. Compounds containing substituents with chain lengths of four carbon or oxygen atoms showed the best hypolipidemic activity in the series tested. Tests involving 1-N-pht...

THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: (2R)-3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-(4-nitro-1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)propanoic acid], C(19)H(13)N(3)O(6), an analogue of epigenetic modulator RG108, is constrained by strong hydrogen bonds between the indole N-H group and a carbonyl O atom of the phthalimide ring of a symmetry-related mol-ecule, and between the protonated O atom of the carboxy...

In the title compound {systematic name: 2-[(E)-but-2-en-1-yl]isoindoline-1,3-dione}, C(12)H(11)NO(2), the phthalimide ring system is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.008 (1) Å, while the plane of the N-crotyl substituent is orthogonal to the phthalimide ring system, making a dihedral angle of 87.5 (1)°.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(15)H(12)N(2)O(3), contains two almost identical mol-ecules forming an nearly C(2-)symmetric dimeric pattern. The dihedral angles between the pyrrole ring and the phthalimide unit are 82.95 (8) and 86.57 (8)° for the two mol-ecules. Within such a dimer, the phthalimide units of the two mol-ecules form a dihedral angle of 1.5 (5)°.

A variety of N-(selenomethyl)alkyl-phthalimides (alkyl = -(CH2)n-; n = 2-5, 1a, b, d, e) and N-(selenobenzyl)propyl phthalimide (1c) were synthesized and their photochemistry was studied at λ = 300 nm. Steady-state photolysis and laser time-resolved spectroscopy studies confirmed that these reactions proceeded by direct or acetone-sensitized excitation followed by intramolecular electron transf...

Objective(s): Anticonvulsant activity of phthalimide was discovered in 2000 by molecular hybridization of thalidomide and ameltolide. In our previous research we have reported some new 4-substituted derivatives of phthalimide with good activity against the tonic and clonic seizures Material and Methods: A series of novel 4-flurophthalimides that designed using bioisosteric replacement were synt...
