In this work, we have established a green synthesis of aryl isothiocyanates promoted by the low-cost and readily available NaOH from aryl amines and carbon disulfide in a one-pot procedure. The developed protocol features no extra desulfurating reagents and mild benchtop conditions, in which NaOH serves as both the base and the desulfurating reagent to decompose the dithiocarbamate intermediate. Fourteen examples of aryl amines bearing electronic neutral, rich and poor substituents, as well as benzylamine, have proved to be compatible substrates in the developed method to furnish the corresponding isothiocyanates. The reaction has been performed on a gram scale to further demonstrate its synthetic utility. Compared to the reported base-promoted synthesis of aryl isothiocyanates that requires the use of special equipment, such as the ball mill or the microwave reactor, the simplicity in operation and scalability enables this method to efficiently access a variety of aryl isothiocyanates.

A pharmacophore model for butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitors was applied to a human cannabinoid subtype 2 receptor (hCB2R) agonist and verified it as a first-generation lead for respective dual-acting compounds. The design, synthesis, and pharmacological evaluation of various derivatives led to the identification of aminobenzimidazoles as second-generation leads with micro- or sub-micromolar activities at both targets and excellent selectivity over hCB1and AChE, respectively. Computational studies of the first- and second-generation lead structures by applying molecular dynamics (MD) on the active hCB2R model, along with docking and MD on hBChE, has enabled an explanation of their binding profiles at the protein levels and opened the way for further optimization. Dual-acting compounds with “balanced” affinities and excellent selectivities could be obtained that represent leads for treatment of both cognitive and pathophysiological impairment occurring in neurodegenerative disorders.

Electron withdrawing groups have a strong effect on hydrogen bonding to aryl ureas.The effect of para substituents modestly exceeds the effect of meta substituents.Among common substituent parameters, ?- (ρ = 1.77, r2 = 0.988) is found to be the best predictor for the observed effects of para substituents in aryl ureas.Semi-empirical and ab initio methods are used to calculate charge distributions in substituted benzene derivatives and in these ureas.A comparison of experimental and predicted (AM1, STO3G, 321-G*, 631-G**) dipole moments of benzene derivatives is presented.It is shown that calculated surface electric potentials for these thioureas succesfully predict the relative hydrogen bonded association energies.
