A safe, economical method for the preparation of β-oxo esters

A high yield, economical method for preparation of β-oxo esters has been developed involving the reaction of acid chlorides with potassium ethyl malonate using a magnesium chloride-triethylamine base system in either acetonitrile or ethyl acetate solvents. The method is suitable for the preparation of high purity β-oxo esters in the laboratory and also in large scale production.

Synthesis, antimycobacterial and antibacterial activity of 1-(6-amino-3,5-difluoropyridin-2-yl)fluoroquinolone derivatives containing an oxime functional moiety

A series of novel 1-(6-amino-3,5-difluoropyridin-2-yl)fluoroquinolone derivatives containing an oxime functional moiety were synthesized and evaluated for their biological activity. Our results reveal that compounds 9a-9c have considerable activity against both of MTB H37Rv ATCC 27294 (MICs: 3.81-7.13 μg/mL) and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus strains (MICs: 0.008-0.5 μg/mL).

Process for the synthesis of 3-chloro-2,4,5-trifluorobenzoic acid

An improved process for the preparation of 3-chloro-2,4,5-trifluorobenzoic acid is described which involves reaction of a diester of 3,4,5,6-tetrafluoro-1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid with a substituted amine to afford 3-amino-2,4,5-trifluorobenzoic acid followed by subsequent conversion of the amio intermediate into 3-chloro-2,4,5-trifluorobenzoic acid.

Antibacterial agents

Novel quinoline-carboxylic acids as antibacterial agents are described as well as methods for their manufacture, formulation, and use in treating bacterial infections including the description of certain novel intermediates used in the manufacture of the antibacterial agents.
