The ring expansion of small-ring compounds provides a powerful method for the construction of various cyclic compounds. Herein, nitrene equivalent mediated metal-free ring expansions of alkylidenecyclopropanes (ACPs) and an alkylidenecyclobutane (ACB) were described. In this synthesis, a series of aryl-substituted cyclobutylidene and cyclopentylidene hydrazine derivatives were obtained under mi...

Metal-free, intermolecular hydroaminations are performed upon heating aryl acetylenes and MeNHNH(2) at 140 degrees C, with preferential formation of the linear, "anti-Markovnikov" hydrazones.

The synthesis of combinatorial compound libraries has become a powerful lead finding tool in modern drug discovery. The ability to synthesize rapidly, in high yield, new chemical entities with low molecular weight on a solid support has a recognized strategic relevance (“small molecule libraries”). We designed and validated a novel solid phase synthesis scheme, suitable to generate diversity on...

In the title Schiff base compound, C(10)H(11)N(3)O, the pyridine ring is twisted with respect to the mean plane containing the hydrazine chain, making a dihedral angle of 31.40 (9)°. The NH group inter-acts with the N atom of the pyridine ring through N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds to build up a zigzag chain developing parallel to the (01) plane.

Several cobalt(II), copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes of nicotinoylhydrazine-derived compounds were prepared and characterised by physical, spectral and analytical data. These compounds and their complexes have proven to be antibacterial. The screening data show the metal complexes to be more potential/bactericidal than the uncomplexed compounds against one or more bacterial species.

In the title compound, C12H11Cl3N2O4, the dihedral angle between the aromatic ring and the hydrazine (NH-N=C) grouping is 52.2 (3)°. The butanedioate groups exhibit planar conformations. An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond links the N-H group of the hydrazine to one of the meth-oxy groups of the butane-dioate moiety. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π inter...
