Natural Hydroxyapatite: Green Catalyst for the Synthesis of Pyrroles, Inhibitors of Corrosion

Polysubstituted pyrroles have been synthesized in good yields via a four-component one-pot reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, amines, aldehydes, and nitroalkanes using natural hydroxyapatite (HAp) as an efficient green catalyst. This strategy provides advantages such as simple experimental and work-up procedures, mild conditions, high selectivity, low cost, high atom economy, and environmental friendliness; it uses a green commercial catalyst and does not require a solvent. The electrochemical behavior of S300 steel in 1 M hydrochloric acidic was studied in the presence of these heterocyclic compounds. The results showed good inhibition efficiency for steel in acidic media.

Expeditious and eco-friendly synthesis of new multifunctionalized pyrrole derivatives and evaluation of their antioxidant property

Diminution of oxidative stress-mediated diseases is an essential pharmaceutical objective in modern biomedical research. The present work stresses upon the efficient and eco-friendly synthesis of an array of novel diversely functionalized pyrrole derivatives which are found to be antioxidants with reactive oxygen species (ROS) shielding competency against the deleterious consequence of oxidative stress. The results of the investigation displayed the effect of structural modification of the pyrrole derivatives on their respective antioxidant properties to various ROS. Noteworthy, the pyrrole moiety bearing 4-hydroxycoumarin or 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone as substituent showed outstanding defensive potency towards [rad]OH and O2 [rad] ? while, nitrogen atom linked with aliphatic side-chain in the pyrrole scaffold made a strong affirmative impression in DPPH[rad] scavenging assay. More interestingly, an influencing reducing power was observed in pyrrole derivatives carrying cyclohexane 1,3-dione as one of the substituents. To have a comprehensive acuteness into the antioxidant capacity of the synthesized pyrrole derivatives against Trolox as a standard antioxidant, a crucial approach was taken into account by calculating TEAC (Trolox Equivalent Antioxidant Capacity) in case of [rad]OH and DPPH[rad] scavenging activity.

The presented procedure is operationally simple, practical and green. Material and Methods: The wide application of this procedure is demonstrated by the use of various substituted amines to react with β-dicarbonyl compounds. The method was successfully applied for primary amines (15 entries) and the related enaminones were well synthesized in good to excellent yields. Melting points were measured on an Electro thermal 9100 apparatus. 1HNMR and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on a FTNMR BRUKER DRX 500 Avence spectrometer. Chemical shifts were given in ppm from TMS as internal references and CDCl3 was used as the solvent as well. The IR spectra were recorded on a Perkin Elmer FT-IR GX instrument. The chemicals used in this work were purchased from Merck and Fluka chemical companies. Results: Grinding synthesis of citrus juice catalyzed enamination of 1,3-dicarbonyls (acetylacetone, methyl and ethyl-3-oxobutanoate) with various primary amines (aromatic and aliphatic) under solvent-free silica supported conditions was examined and studied (15 entries) and the obtained enaminones were well synthesized in good to excellent yields. Furthermore, the effect of various catalysts on the yield and reaction time for grinding synthesis of 3-phenylamino-but-2-enoic acid ethyl ester (1) by this method has evaluated as well. Conclusion: a novel, efficient and green protocol for the grinding synthesis of enaminones using citrus juice as natural catalyst has been presented. This methodology is user friendly, green and low cost procedure under mild reaction condition with faster reaction rates. The citrus juice is inexpensive and non-toxic which makes the process convenient, more economic and benign.

β-Enaminones over recyclable nano-CoFe2O4: a highly efficient solvent-free green protocol

Abstract: β-Enaminone and its derivatives have emerged among the finest bioactive intermediates. High yields of several β-enaminones (86–97%) are achieved through treatment of substituted aromatic and aliphatic amines with cyclic/acyclic 1,3-diketones, over the magnetically separable cobalt ferrite nanoparticles (CoFe2O4 NPs). The latter was prepared upon co-precipitation. Its purity, fine crystallinity, elemental distributions, morphology, magnetic features, and thermal stability were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometry, and thermal gravimetric analysis analyses. Thus, CoFe2O4 NPs acted as an excellent green heterogeneous nanocatalyst for synthesis of β-enaminones and gave good recyclability, while showing insignificant loss of their activity.

Structural comparison of Mtb-DHFR and h-DHFR for design, synthesis and evaluation of selective non-pteridine analogues as antitubercular agents

Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that affects millions of population every year. Mtb-DHFR is a validated target that is vital for nucleic acids biosynthesis and therefore DNA formation and cell replication. This paper report identification and synthesis of novel compounds for selective inhibition of Mtb-DHFR and unleash the selective structural features necessary to inhibit the same. Virtual screening of databases was carried out to identify novel compounds on the basis of difference between the binding pockets of the two proteins. Consensus docking was performed to improve upon the results and best ten hits were selected. Hit 1 was subjected to analogues design and the analogues were docked against Mtb-DHFR. From the docking results 11 compounds were selected for synthesis and biological assay against H37Rv. Most potent compound (IND-07) was tested for selectivity using enzymatic assay against Mtb-DHFR and h-DHFR. The compounds were found to have good inhibitory activity (25–200 μM) against H37Rv and in enzyme assay against Mtb-DHFR and h-DHFR the compound was found selective towards Mtb-DHFR with selectivity index of 6.53. This work helped to identify indole moiety as novel scaffold for development of novel selective Mtb-DHFR inhibitors as antimycobacterial agents.

Effect of solvent ratio and counter ions on the morphology of copper nanoparticles and their catalytic application in β-enaminone synthesis

This work reports the synthesis of shape selective copper nanoparticles (NPs) using a microwave irradiation method, using diverse ratios of an ethylene glycol (EG)/water system. The solvent ratio of EG/water plays a pivotal role in the selective formation of CuO NPs. The alteration of the counter ion of the copper precursor leading to the selective synthesis of copper (CuO, Cu2O, Cu(OH)2) NPs has been observed. The synthesized copper NPs are well characterized using FEG-SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS, NH3-TPD and BET surface area. The prepared CuO NPs show high activity towards the synthesis of β-enaminones and β-enamino esters from 1,3 diketones and amines.

Bimetallic Ag-Cu alloy nanoparticles as a highly active catalyst for the enamination of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds

Bimetallic nanoparticles, particularly those based on copper, have recently attracted a great deal of attention for the development of low cost and highly active catalysts due to the synergistic interaction between individual metal components. In this work, bimetallic Ag-Cu alloy nanoparticles were explored as a highly active and reusable catalyst for the enamination of 1,3-dicarbonyls using diverse amines. The nanocatalysts were intensively characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy-energy-dispersive spectroscopy (HRTEM-EDS) and valence band and core level X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to study the effect of the bimetallic structure and composition. In comparison to monometallic Ag and Cu nanoparticles, the alloyed Ag-Cu nanoparticles showed a high catalytic performance and the resultant catalytic activity was dependant on the Ag to Cu ratio. This enhanced catalytic activity should be related to the electronic interaction between Ag and Cu nanoparticles formed due to the intimate contact between them. Our study may serve as a foundation for designing efficient alloyed nanocatalysts for fine chemical synthesis via enamination reactions.
