A one-pot two-step reaction (Knoevenagel condensation - reduction of the double bond) has been developed using calcium hydride as a reductant in the presence of a supported noble metal catalyst. The reaction between carbonyl compounds and active methylene

Opportunistic fungal infections caused by the Candida spp. are the most common human fungal infections, often resulting in severe systemic infections - a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in at-risk populations. Azole antifungals remain the mainstay of antifungal treatment for candidiasis, however development of clinical resistance to azoles by Candida spp. limits the drugs' efficacy and highlights the need for discovery of novel therapeutics. Recently, it has been reported that simple hydrazone derivatives have the capability to potentiate antifungal activities in vitro. Similarly, pyrimidinetrione analogs have long been explored by medicinal chemists as potential therapeutics, with more recent focus being on the potential for pyrimidinetrione antimicrobial activity. In this work, we present the synthesis of a class of novel hydrazone-pyrimidinetrione analogs using novel synthetic procedures. In addition, structure-activity relationship studies focusing on fungal growth inhibition were also performed against two clinically significant fungal pathogens. A number of derivatives, including phenylhydrazones of 5-acylpyrimidinetrione exhibited potent growth inhibition at or below 10 μM with minimal mammalian cell toxicity. In addition, in vitro studies aimed at defining the mechanism of action of the most active analogs provide preliminary evidence that these compound decrease energy production and fungal cell respiration, making this class of analogs promising novel therapies, as they target pathways not targeted by currently available antifungals.

Through systematic exploration of reaction conditions, very efficient preparative procedures for obtaining large quantities of substituted 5-alkyl and 5-benzylbarbituric acids were developed. The procedure involves a two step preparation in which the second step is zinc dust/acid reduction. For preparation of 5-alkylbarbiturates, the first step is the preparation of either 5-acyl or 5-alkylidenebarbiturate. If 5-benzylbarbiturate is the target product, then the first step includes the preparation of 5-benzylidene. Regardless of the nature of the first step, all reactions presented synthetic yields around 90% and isolation and purification involves only crystallization.
Chemical modification of plant alkaloids. III. X-ray diffraction and NMR studies of the structure of 1,3-dimethyl-5-arylmethyl-5-cytisylmethylbarbituric acids

The three-dimensional structure of 1,3-dimethyl-5-(4-allyloxybenzyl)-5-cytisylmethylbarbituric acid was found by x-ray structure analysis. A conformation with proximal cytisine and 2,4,6-trioxopyrimidine moieties was observed. Analogous structures for other synthesized 1,3-dimethyl-5-arylmethyl-5-cytisylmethylbarbituric acids and their 2-thio analogs were proved and the intramolecular effects caused by mutual magnetic shielding of spatially proximal groups were studied using PMR.
Reductive C-alkylation of barbituric acid derivatives with carbonyl compounds in the presence of platinum and palladium catalysts

Effective synthetic procedures for the preparation of mono- and di-C-alkylated barbituric acid derivatives through palladium and platinum catalytic hydrogenation of solutions of barbituric acids (unsubstituted, N-mono, and N,N′-disubstituted barbituric acids) and carbonyl compounds (aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes and ketones).
