The reaction of equimolar amounts of p-toluidine with 2,3-dichloromaleic anhydride in refluxing toluene affords 2,3-dichloro-N-p-tolylmaleimide (1) and 2-chloro-3-p-toluidino-N-p-tolylmaleimide (2), as the major and minor products, respectively. While increasing the amount of p-toluidine relative to 2,3-dichloromaleic anhydride yields the latter compound as the major product, the replacement of the chloro group in 2-chloro-3-p-toluidino-N-p-tolylmaleimide by added p-toluidine was not observed in refluxing toluene. Both 1 and 2 were isolated by column chromatography and characterized in solution by IR and NMR spectroscopies. The solid-state structure of 2-chloro-3-p-toluidino-N-p- tolylmaleimide was solved by X-ray crystallography. Further, 2-Chloro-3-p-toluidino-N-p-tolylmaleimide crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c, a = 33.191(8) A, b = 4.037(1) A, c = 24.876(6) A, β = 107.050(4)°, V = 3187(1) A3, Z = 8, and d Calc = 1.362 mg/m3; R = 0.0561, Rw = 0.1246 for 2087 reflections with I > 2σ(I).

In the present study, 45 maleimides have been synthesized and evaluated for anti-leishmanial activities against L. donovani in vitro and cytotoxicity toward THP1 cells. All compounds exhibited obvious anti-leishmanial activities. Among the tested compounds, there were 10 maleimides with superior anti-leishmanial activities to standard drug amphotericin B, and 32 maleimides with superior anti-leishmanial activities to standard drug pentamidine, especially compounds 16 (IC50 50 50 > 10 μg/mL). The anti-leishmanial activities of 16 and 42 were 10 times better than that of amphotericin B. The structure and activity relationship (SAR) studies revealed that 3,4-non-substituted maleimides displayed the strongest anti-leishmanial activities compared to those for 3-methyl-maleimides and 3,4-dichloro-maleimides. 3,4-dichloro-maleimides were the least cytotoxic compared to 3-methyl-maleimides and 3,4-non-substituted maleimides. The results show that several of the reported compounds are promising leads for potential anti-leishmanial drug development.

Aggregation-induced emission (AIE)-active maleimide dyes, namely, 2-p-toluidino-N-p-tolylmaleimide, 3-phenyl-2-toluidino-N-p-tolylmaleimide, 2-p-thiocresyl-3-p-toluidino-N-p-tolylmaleimide, and 2,3-dithiocresyl-N-arylmaleimides, were synthesized by facile
