Facile access to polymer supported zinc–salen complex: highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst for synthesizing hydantoins, thiohydantoins and Schiff bases in aqueous medium

The synthesis of polymer supported zinc–salen complex (PS-Zn–salen) is described. The mononuclear zinc(II)–salen complex was characterized by Fourier-transform NMR spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, surface area and pore size distribution by Brunauer–Emmett–Teller. The synthesized PS-Zn–salen complex used as a recyclable heterogeneous catalyst for the efficient synthesis of hydantoins, thiohydantoins and Schiff bases in an aqueous medium. The isolated yields of hydantoins, thiohydantoins and Schiff bases achieved up to 89, 95 and 94%, respectively. In spite of conventional heterogeneous catalysts, current PS-Zn–salen complex shows thermal stability up to 280?°C. Moreover, the catalyst could be recovered easily by simple filtration and reused for next run with slightly declining its activity up to six successive runs. The FT-IR spectrum of recycle catalyst after 6th run confirmed that the catalyst was stable during the course of a reaction. The leaching of metal from the PS-Zn–salen is negligible, which was confirmed by AAS and hot filtration test.

One-pot synthesis of imidazolinium salts via the ring opening of tetrahydrofuran

A new one-pot synthesis of C2-hydroxypropyl-substituted imidazolinium salts via the ring opening of tetrahydrofuran (THF) with N,N′-disubstituted diamines has been developed. Preliminary studies of the reaction mechanism suggest the CO2-promoted oxidative ring opening of THF followed by Hg(ii)-mediated oxidation of an imidazolidine intermediate. These novel C2-substituted imidazolinium salts have shown to be active catalysts for the aza-Diels-Alder reactions.

Synthesis, ir and nmr spectral correlations in some symmetrical diimines

A series of diimines have been synthesized by coupling of diamine with substituted benzaldehydes. The purities of these diimines were checked by their analytical and spectroscopic data. The spectral frequencies vCN (cm-1), NMR chemical shifts (v, ppm) of C-H and C=N of these diimines have been correlated with Hammett substituent constants, F and R parameters using single and multi-linear regression analysis. From the results of statistical analysis, the effect of substituents on the above spectral data has been studied.

Synthesis of new antifungal 1,2,4-bis-oxadiazolines using cycloaddition reaction of nitrile oxide with bis-Schiff base

A series of arylaldehydes and acetophenone when treated with 1,2-ethanediamine afford the bis-Schiff bases N,N'- bis(arylidene)-ethane-l,2- diamines 1-8, N,N'-bis(arylmethylene)-ethane-l,2-diamines 9-10 and the N,N'-bis(l- phenylethylidene)-ethane-l,2-dia

Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel substituted-imidazolidine derivatives

A series of newer substituted-imidazolidine derivatives 3a-k were synthesized and assayed in vivo to investigate their anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antiulcer activity. The results of biological evaluation revealed that the three compounds, 4-[1,3-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-2- imidazolidinyl]phenyldiethylamine (3g), 4-[1,3-bis(3-Ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl)-2- imidazolidinyl] phenyldiethylamine (3h) and 4-(1,3-bis(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5- ylmethyl)-4-methylimidazolidin-2-yl)-N,N-diethylbenzenamine (3j) were good in their anti-inflammatory and analgesic actions. Additionally these derivatives showed superior GI safety profile as compared to that of the standard drug in terms of low severity index. The results are statistically treated for its significance.

Zn2+-K10-clay (clayzic) as an efficient water-tolerant, solid acid catalyst for the synthesis of benzimidazoles and quinoxalines at room temperature

A very simple, green and efficient protocol is developed in which zinc chloride-exchanged K10-montmorillonite (clayzic) is employed as a Lewis acid catalyst in aqueous media at room temperature for the synthesis of various benzimidazoles and quinoxalines from carbonyl compounds and o-phenylenediamine. Among the various catalysts (including claycop and Zn2+-Y) studied, clayzic produces benzimidazoles and quinoxalines in higher yield, and with a flexible diamine such as ethylenediamine only the bis-Schiff base is formed. Other salient features of this protocol include milder conditions, atom-economy, absence of coupling agents, and no wastes.

Synthesis, antimicrobial activity and structure-activity relationship study of N,N-dibenzyl-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine derivatives

We report herein synthesis and antimicrobial activity of a series of N,N-dibenzyl-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine derivatives. In order to study the structure-activity relationship of substituted dibenzyl-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine derivatives, 44 structurally diverse compounds were synthesized and tested against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial strains. Among them, compounds 17-20, 26, 37, 38 were found to be more active than tetracycline with MIC value ranging 0.0005-0.032 μg/mL and no hemolysis upto 1024 μg/mL in mammalian erythrocytes was observed. Some of the compounds have also shown very promising antifungal activity against Candida albicans, Candida glabrata and Geotrichum candidium.
