Cyrhetrenylaniline and new organometallic phenylimines derived from 4- and 5-nitrothiophene: Synthesis, characterization, X-Ray structures, electrochemistry and in vitro anti-T. brucei activity

A novel series of cyrhetrenyl (3a-4a) and ferrocenyl (3b-4b) Schiff bases were synthesized through a condensation reaction, between the known 4-ferrocenylaniline (2b) or the unreported 4-cyhretrenylaniline (2a) with 4- or 5-nitrothiophenecarboxaldehyde. The structure of 2a and the new Schiff bases have been elucidated using conventional spectroscopic techniques (FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR), mass spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of compounds 2a, 4a and 3b. Cyclic voltammetry of organometallic phenylimines derived from 5-nitrothiophene showed NO2 group reduction potentials (E1/2 ≈ ?0.575 V) that were more anodic than those registered for their 4-nitro analogues (E1/2 ≈ ?0.981 V). All organometallic imines were tested against the bloodstream form of Trypanosoma brucei. Evaluation indicated that the most active complexes are the 5-nitrothiophene derivatives, 4a, which were remarkably more active than nifurtimox. In addition, complex 4b resulted in less toxicity to host L6 cells than nifurtimox. The results revealed that the electronic effects of cyrhetrene and ferrocene are not an influential factor in E1/2 and anti-Trypanosoma brucei activity for these new imines, which is probably due to the non-coplanarity of the [(η5-C5H4)-C6H4-N=CH-(C4H2S)] system.

Synthesis, protolytic equilibria, and antimicrobial action of nifuroxazide analogs

The present paper reports on the synthesis of four hydrazones derived from 5-nitro-2-furfural, 5-nitro-2-thiophenal, isoniazid, 2,4- and 3,4-dihydroxy-N′-methylenebenzohydrazide. The acid-base dissociation constants of these compounds were determined in an aqueous solution. The protolytic equilibria-related ability of hydrazones to “sense” anions in dimethyl sulfoxide-containing water of different concentrations is studied using spectrophotometry, NMR spectroscopy, and quantum chemistry methods. The antimicrobial action of the hydrazones was tested and compared with that of the known drug nifuroxazide.

Synthesis method of 5-nitrothiophene-2-formaldehyde

The invention relates to the technical field of chemistry, in particular to a synthesis method of 5-nitrothiophene-2-formaldehyde. The method comprises the steps of mixing 2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde and acetic anhydride, carrying out nucleophilic addition reaction to generate (acetyloxy) (2-thiophene) methyl acetate, and adding a nitrating agent to carry out nitration reaction to prepare 5-nitrothiophene-2-yl methylene diacetate; and carrying out a hydrolysis reaction on the obtained 5-nitrothiophene-2-yl methylene diacetate in a solvent to prepare 5-nitrothiophene-2-formaldehyde. The method has the beneficial effects that (1) cheap and easily available raw materials are used, the process is simple, the production cost is low, and the method is suitable for industrial production; and (2) the total yield and the total purity of the product are high.

Ethylammonium nitrate (EAN)/Tf2O and EAN/TFAA: Ionic liquid based systems for aromatic nitration

Acting as in situ sources of triflyl nitrate (TfONO2) and trifluoroacetyl nitrate (CF3COONO2), the EAN/Tf 2O and EAN/TFAA systems, generated via metathesis in the readily available ethylammonium nitrate (EAN) ionic liquid as solvent, are powerful electrophilic nitrating reagents for a wide variety of aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds. Comparative nitration experiments indicate that EAN/Tf2O is superior to EAN/TFAA for nitration of strongly deactivated systems. Both systems exhibit low substrate selectivity (K T/KB = 5-10) in (Figure presented) between values reported for covalent nitrates and preformed nitronium salts.

SMALL MOLECULE INHIBITORS OF PROTEIN ARGININE METHYLTRANSFERASES (PRMTS)

Clean and selective oxidation of aromatic alcohols using silica-supported Jones' reagent in a pressure-driven flow reactor

By exploiting the high surface to volume ratio obtained within continuous flow reactors, we are able to oxidise selectively an array of primary alcohols to either the aldehyde or carboxylic acid, depending on the flow rates employed, demonstrating a degree of reaction control unattainable in traditional stirred reactors.

New thienyldihydropyridines were synthesized according to Hantzsch's method. The antihypoxic activity of these compounds was compared with that of three reference phenyldihydropyridines by means of the skin conductance reaction (SCR)-hypoxia test.
