2-monobromomethyl 1,4-dihydropyridines is selectively synthesized by bromination of the parent compound by 1.1 equivalents of pyridinium bromide perbromide in dichloromethane/pyridine at -20 °c. the same reagent in dichloromethane at 0 °c produce the 2,6-bis(bromomethyl) 1,4-dihydropyridines.

Two novel donor-acceptor-substituted vinyltetrahydropyrene derivatives, 2-N,N-dimethylamino-7-(1-carbethoxyvinyl)-4,5,9,10-tetrahydropyrene, , and 2-N,N-dimethylamino-7-(1,1-dicyanovinyl)-4,5,9,10-tetrahydropyrene, , were synthesized and their photophysical properties investigated in solvents of different polarities. Our studies revealed the existence of intramolecular charge transfer excited s...

Novel silylium ions with N-heterocyclic imines were successfully synthesized. The reaction of trimethylsilyl imidazolin-2-imine Me₃SiNIPr (NIPr = bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-imidazolin-2-imino) with B(C₆F₅)₃ leads to dimeric imino-substituted silylium ions through a methyl group abstraction on the silicon atom. Meanwhile, the intermolecular imino-coordinated silylium ion is formed by using the l...

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide. Despite the availability of several chemotherapeutic drugs, there is still a great need for more efficient agents for a better management of cancer. In this contribution, a series of 11 1,4-dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs) (4a, 4b and 7a-i) were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic effect against MCF-7, LS180 and MOLT-4 cancer cell lines using M...

The novel derivatives of thieno[3',2':4,5]thieno[2,3-c]quinolones 6a, 6b, 7, 10a and 10b were synthesized in multistep synthesis starting from thiophene-3-carboxaldehyde and malonic acid reacting in aldol condensation or from 3-bromothiophenes or methyl 4-bromothiophene-2-carboxylate reacting in Heck reaction. They resulted in corresponding substituted thienylacrylic acids 3a-c, which were cycl...
