A series of new prolinamide polyacrylonitrile fiber catalysts with tunable length of alkyl linker and different linker group were prepared by covalent bonding for the first time and well characterized by mechanical strength, FT-IR, XRD, EA, TGA, SEM and water contact angel. The catalytic activities of these fiber catalysts were evaluated in Knoevenagel condensation and one-pot Knoevenagel-Michael multicomponent tandem reactions to synthesize α, β-unsaturated nitrile and 2-amino-4H-chromene derivatives in water. The result show that the suitable linker length attaching amines to fiber matrix as well as the constructed hydrophobic microenvironment by linker group within the surface layers of fiber materials effectively promotes the reactions. In addition, the good swollen capacity of fiber in solvent ensure that the reaction proceed well. Fiber catalyst PANPA?2F modified by prolinamide with a C2 alkyl chain exhibited the best catalytic performance and can be easily recovered and reused for at least ten consecutive cycles without significant loss of catalytic activity and active sites leaching.

Stereoselective synthesis by an aldol reaction between chloroacetone and aldehyde was studied using a synthesized chiral organocatalyst and triethylamine. The reaction gave α-chloro-β-hydroxy ketones in excellent yield with high anti selectivity and enantioselectivity. The chiral organocatalyst was also used in the Knoevenagel reaction, which gave α-cyano-β-hydroxy ketones at a low temperature and the usual Knoevenagel product at a high temperature. Both products were obtained in good to moderate yield with good anti selectivity in the case of α-cyano-β-hydroxy ketone derivatives.

A novel series of 1-(pyrrolidin-1-ylmethyl)-2-[(3-oxo-indan)-formyl]-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives maj-3a-maj-3u were synthesized and evaluated in vitro for their binding affinity at κ-opioid receptors. Maj-3c displayed the highest affinity for κ-opioid receptors (Ki = 0.033 nM) among all the compounds evaluated. Furthermore, all four stereoisomers of compound 3c were prepared, and (1S,18S)-3c was identified as the most potent (Ki = 0.0059 nM) κ-opioid receptor agonist among the four stereoisomers. Maj-3c produced significant antinociception (ED50 = 0.000406 mg kg-1) compared to U-50,488H and original BRL 52580 in the acetic acid writhing assay, but its strong sedative effect (ED50 = 0.000568 mg kg-1) observed in the mouse rotation test reduced its druggability. To minimize the central nervous system side effects, a series of hydroxyl-containing analogs of maj-3c were synthesized, and maj-11a was found to be a potent κ-opioid receptor agonist (Ki = 35.13 nM). More importantly, the dose for the sedative effect (ED50 = 9.29 mg kg-1) of maj-11a was significantly higher than its analgesic dose (ED50 = 0.392 mg kg-1), which made it a promising peripheral analgesic candidate compound with weak sedative side effects.

A series of pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole and a-cyanocinnamic acid derivatives have been synthesized in the reactions of Schiff bases 2-7 with selected nitriles containing an active methylene group: malononitrile 8-12, cyanoacetamide 13-16, benzyl cyanide 17-21, benzoylacetonitrile 22-24, cyanoacetate methyl ester 25-28 and benzylacetamide 29. The structures 8-29 were confirmed by the results of elementary analysis and their IR, 1H-, 13C-NMR and MS spectra. The products 8-29 of various chemical structure pyrimido[1,2-a] benzimidazole 8-12, 14-16, 17-21, 23-24, 26 and a-cyanocinnamic acid derivatives 13, 22, 25, 27, 28 were obtained, which are of interest for biological studies or which can be substrates for further synthesis. The selected compounds 10, 13, 14, 17, 19, 21, 23-25 and 28 were screened for their antiproliferative activity in vitro against neoplastic and normal cell lines. The most active two compounds were: 2-(o-bromophenylene)-3-cyano-4-phenyl-1,2-dihydropyrimido[1,2-a] benzimidazole (24) and 3-cyano-4-phenyl-2-(2,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1,2- dihydropyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazole (23). However, similarly like cisplatin used as the control, they showed no selectivity towards cancer cells, by inhibiting proliferation of normal mouse fibroblasts in similar manner. Versita Sp. z o.o.

Reaction of ethyl cyanoacetate with benzal-4-acetylanilines 1a-10a, the compounds containing both azomethine and ketone linkages, in equimolar ratio, in the presence of pyridine yields solid products, which have been characterized as ethyl benzal-cyanoacetate and its derivatives 1b-10b on the basis of elemental analysis and spectral studies. The reaction of 1a-10a with two moles of ethyl cyanoacetate also results in the formation of the same products 1b-10b, by an unexpected attack of ethyl cyanoacetate on azomethine linkage only rather than on both the reactive centres i.e. carbon-nitrogen double bond and carbon-oxygen double bond.
