Prospective new amidinothiazoles as leukotriene B4 inhibitors

An efficient and one-step synthesis of the versatile, hitherto new derivatives resembling LY293111, a prospective potent antagonist of the leukotriene B4 (LTB4) receptor, were reported. The strategy was based on the synthesis of an amidinothiazole ring, c

From insertion to multicomponent coupling: Temperature dependent reactions of arynes with aliphatic alcohols

The temperature dependent selectivity switch in the reaction of arynes with aliphatic alcohols in THF has been reported. At -20°C, arynes smoothly insert into the O-H bond of alcohols to form alkyl aryl ethers. Interestingly, at 60°C, a highly selective multicomponent coupling occurs with the solvent THF acting as the nucleophilic trigger affording (4-(alkoxy)butoxy)arenes.

Structure-property correlations in model compounds of oligomer liquid crystals

Structure-property correlations of the following model compounds for oligomer liquid crystals (LCs) have been investigated: monomers, C 6H5O(CH2)xCH3 (x = 4 and 5); dimers, C6H5O

Dipole Moments and UV Spectra of some Long-chain Molecules

About one hundred compounds with long-chain molecular structure have been prepared (most of them are new).The dipole moments of four α,ω-bis(p-methoxyphenylthio)alkanes and five α,ω-bis(p-methoxyphenylsulphonyl)alkanes have been determined to find the effect of chain-length.In the case of sulphones, the observed values are compared with the values calculated for free rotation around all bonds intervening the end dipoles.The uv spectra of some 1,2-(distyrylsulphonyl)ethanes, and a number of α,ω-bis(arylsulphonyl)- and α,ω-bis(aryloxy)alkanes have been recorded to examine the applicability of the principle of chromophore additivity.

SYNTHETIC APPLICATION OF MICELLAR CATALYSIS. WILLIAMSON'S SYNTHESIS OF ETHERS

A simple, rapid and efficient procedure for the preparation of di-alkyl, simple phenyl-alkyl and hindered phenyl-alkyl ethers has been developed.Based on the principle of micellar catalysis the method involves alkylation of the alkoxide or the phenoxide ion with an alkyl chloride at 80 deg C in the presence of cationic micelles.For the preparation of phenyl-alkyl ethers normal micelles were used, while for the di-alkyl ethers reverse micelles were more effective.By increasing the ionic strength of the solution the rate of formation of phenyl-alkyl ethers could be increased.
