Abstract
Advances in molecular probes have recently intensified because they are valuable tools in studying species of interest for human health, the environment, and industry. Among these species, cyanide (CN-) and fluoride (F-) stand out as hazardous and toxic ions in trace amounts. Thus, there is a significant interest in probes design for their detection with diverse diazoles (pyrazole and imidazole) used for this purpose. These diazole derivatives are known as functional molecules because of their known synthetic versatility and applicability, as they exhibit essential photophysical properties with helpful recognition centers. This review provides an overview of the recent progress (2017-2021) in diazole-based sensors for CN- and F- detection, using the azolic ring as a signaling or recognition unit. The discussion focuses on the mechanism of the action described for recognizing the anion, the structure of the probes with the best synthetic simplicity, detection limits (LODs), application, and selectivity. In this context, the analysis involves probes for cyanide sensing first, then probes for fluoride sensing, and ultimately, dual probes that allow both species recognition.

Abstract
A pseudo-three-component synthesis of N-aroylmethylimidazoles 3 with three new C-N bonds formed regioselectively under microwave conditions was developed. Products were obtained by reacting two equivalents of aroylmethyl bromide (ArCOCH2Br, 1) with the appropriate amidine salt (RCN2H3.HX, 2) and with K2CO3 as a base in acetonitrile. The bicomponent reaction also occurred, giving the expected 4(5)-aryl-1H-imidazoles 4. Notably, the ratio of products 3 and 4 is governed by steric factors of the amidine 2 (i.e., R = H, CH3, Ph). Therefore, a computational study was carried out to understand the reaction course regarding product ratio (3/4), regioselectivity, and the steric effects of the amidine substituent group.

Abstract
A convenient one-pot synthesis of 4-aryl-2-methyl-N-phenacylimidazoles (4) through a microwave-assisted pseudo-tricomponent reaction of α-bromoacetophenones (1) with acetamidine hydrochloride (2) is reported. Ketones (4) were successfully used as substrates for the preparation of the respective N-(2-hydroxyethyl)imidazoles (5) with yields up to 87%. The synthesized compounds were characterized by NMR and high-resolution mass spectrometry analyses, and several structures were confirmed and studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The analysis of the whole-of-molecule interactions shows that, despite the difference in the atom–atom contacts forming the crystals, dispersion energies make the largest contribution to the formation of the solids, giving an isotropic tendency in the topology of the energy framework diagrams for pairs of molecules. In addition, the in vitro antifungal activity of both families of compounds [ketones (4) and alcohols (5)] against Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans was evaluated, where the 2,4-dichlorophenyl-substituted alcohol (5f), an isomer of the drug miconazole, showed the highest activity (IC50 = 7.8 µg ml−1 against C. neoformans).

Abstract
An efficient access toward novel tridentate ligands based on 1,7-dipyridinyl-substituted bis-pyrazolo[3,4-b:4',3'-e]pyridines (BPs) and their usefulness as fluorescent probes for cation detection is reported. The synthesis proceeds by a three-step sequence starting from 2-chloropyridine (1), all reactions were performed using microwave radiation under solvent-free conditions, and an overall yield of up to 63% was obtained. Photophysical properties of three representative 1,7-dipyridinyl-BPs (PBPs, 6a-6c) substituted at position 4 with different donor (D) or acceptor (A) groups were investigated. Compounds exhibited large Stokes shift in different solvents and strong blue light emission in both solution and solid state, and quantum yields were as high as 88% for some of them; thus, a twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) fluorescence mechanism characteristic of the 1,4,7-triaryl-BPs was confirmed. The 4-phenyl-substituted probe (Ph-PBP, 6b) was used successfully in the detection of some metals (Cu2+, Co2+, Ni2+, and Hg2+) by fluorescence quenching phenomena, which could be reversed in the presence of ethylenediamine. This probe showed a greater sensitivity toward Cu2+ in concentrations as low as 26 nM, and in the process of "on-off-on" for this fluorescent molecular switch, only 1 equiv of the analyte was used.

Abstract
The crystal structures of 2-methyl-4-phenyl-1H-imidazole, C10H10N2, (3a), 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-methyl-1H-imidazole hemihydrate, C10H9ClN2·0.5H2O, (3b), and 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-1H-imidazole, C11H12N2O, (3c), have been analyzed. It was found that the electron-donating/withdrawing tendency of the substituent groups in the aryl ring influence the acid-base properties of the 2-methylimidazole nucleus, changing the strength of the intermolecular N-H...N interactions. This behaviour not only influences the crystal structure but also seems to have an important effect on the antifungal activity. Considering the substituent groups, that is, H in (3a), Cl in (3b) and OMe in (3c), the formation of strong N-H...N connections has the probability (3a) > (3b) > (3c), while compound (3c) proves to be more active than (3a) and (3b) at all concentrations against C. neoformans.

Abstract
A one-pot route for the regioselective synthesis of 3-formylpyrazolo[1,5- a]pyrimidines 4a-k in good yields through a microwave-assisted process is provided. The synthesis proceeds via a cyclocondensation reaction between β-enaminones 1 with NH-3-aminopyrazoles 2, followed by formylation with an iminium salt moiety (Vilsmeyer-Haack reagent). These N-heteroaryl aldehydes 4 were successfully used as strategic intermediates for the preparation of novel functional fluorophores with yields up to 98%. The structures of the products obtained and regioselectivity of the reactions were determined on the basis of NMR measurements and X-ray diffraction analysis. Since pyrazolo[1,5- a]pyrimidines (PPs) 3 have shown an important fluorescence, photophysical properties of four 2-methylderivatives substituted at position 7 with different acceptor (A) or donor (D) groups were investigated. The compounds evaluated exhibited large Stokes shift in different solvents, but only the substituted p-methoxyphenyl (4-An) showed a strong fluorescence intensity with quantum yields up to 44% due to its greater ICT. Therefore, hybrid systems based on pyrazolo[1,5- a]pyrimidines could be used as fluorescent probes to detect biologically or environmentally relevant species.

The syntheses proceed via isolated N-(pyrrol-2-yl)imines, which are also key synthetic intermediates of other valuable compounds. The crystal structures of the reduced compounds showed a reduction in the symmetry compared with the corresponding precursors, viz. Pbcm to P\overline{1} from compound (7a) to (8a) and P21/c to P\overline{1} from compound (7b) to (8b), probably due to a severe change in the molecular conformations, resulting in the loss of planarity observed in the nonreduced compounds. In all of the crystals, the supramolecular assembly is controlled mainly by strong (N,C)—H...N hydrogen bonds. However, in the case of (7a)–(7c), C—H...Cl interactions are strong enough to help in the three-dimensional architecture, as observed in Hirshfeld surface maps.

Abstract
A novel series of fully substituted pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines 4 has been prepared in a regioselective manner by the microwave-assisted reaction between N-substituted 5-aminopyrazoles 1 and 3-(3-oxo-2-benzofuran-1(3H)-ylidene)pentane-2,4-dione (2). This is the second reported example of a cyclocondensation reaction using substrate 2 as a 1,3-bis-electrophilic reagent. Remarkably, this synthesis offers functionalized products with acetyl and carboxyl groups in one step, in good yields, and with short reaction times. Additionally, the cyclization intermediate 3 was isolated, allowing us to postulate a mechanism for this reaction, which is initiated via isobenzofuranone ring opening of 2 in a Michael-type reaction. The structures of the products and regioselectivity of the reactions were determined on the basis of NMR measurements and X-ray diffraction. For this new reaction using substrate 2, the optimal reaction conditions and its scope were investigated.
