A series of 2-(4-nitro-1-imidazolylmethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole, 1,3,4-triazole and 3-(4-nitro-1-imidazolylmethyl)-1,2,4-triazole derivatives were synthesized and tested for their antimicrobial activity. Some of the tested compounds were active against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Bacillus subtilis, Clostridium difficile, Aspergillus niger and Cryptococcus neoformans.

The reaction of P-diketones 1 with phenyl hydrazine afforded 5-aryl-3-(1- methyl-5-nitro-2-imidazoly1)-1-phenylpyrazole (2) and 3-aryl-5-(1-methyl-5- nitro-2-imidazoly1) -1-phenylpyrazole (3). The reaction of diketones (1) with urea in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid gave 4-(or 6-)aryl-6-(or 4-)(1-methyl- 5-nitro-2-imidazolyl)-1-(lH)pyrimidones (4). The structures of all compounds w...

a series of 2-(4-nitro-1-imidazolylmethyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole, 1,3,4-triazole and 3-(4-nitro-1-imidazolylmethyl)-1,2,4-triazole derivatives were synthesized and tested for their antimicrobial activity. some of the tested compounds were active against staphylococcus aureus, staphylococcus epidermidis, bacillus subtilis, clostridium difficile, aspergillus niger and cryptococcus neoformans.

A new enantioselective peroxidation of α,β-unsaturated nitroalkenes was realized with an easily accessible acid-base bifunctional organic catalyst derived from cinchona alkaloids. This reaction provides unprecedented easy access to optically active chiral peroxides, as illustrated by the asymmetric synthesis of β-peroxy nitro compounds.

several cycline dependent kinase 2 (cdk2) inhibitors with different chemical structures have been introduced. the hinge region of cdk2 (residues 81–84) contains a set of hydrogen bond donor and acceptor sites some of which must be satisfied for potent inhibitor binding. the benzimidazolone skeleton may provide such interactions. accordingly, 3-sulfonamide substituted benzamido-benzimidazolones ...

The preparation of (hetero)arylamines has been significantly advanced by developments in transition metal-catalyzed Csp2–N coupling (e.g., Buchwald–Hartwig, Chan–Lam, and Ullmann couplings). As a complement to these strategies, our group recently demonstrated the reductive arylboronic acids nitro compounds, initially nitro(hetero)arenes more nitromethane, an organophosphorus-catalyzed method op...
