Synthesis, characterization, and cytotoxicity of some novel glycosyl thiazol-2-imines as antitumoral agents

Light-Driven Access to Selenium-Substituted Thiazole-2-imine Derivatives

The thiazole-2-imine derivatives with interesting pharmacological activities have attracted significant attention. However, previously reported synthesis strategies usually suffered from some drawbacks, such as the use of metals/additive and harsh reaction conditions. Herein, we developed a metal- and photoinitiator-free photocatalytic strategy for the synthesis of various selenium-substituted thiazole-2-imine derivatives for the first time. The reaction displayed mild reaction conditions, simple operation, a broad substrate scope (37 examples), and good to excellent yields.

Synthesis of thiazol-2-imines from the reduction of single enantiomer 2-imino-thiazolidin-4-ones followed by a spontaneous water elimination

Chiral hemiaminals (5-8RR and 5-8SS) have been synthesized from the corresponding 2-iminothiazolidine-4-ones (1-4RR and 1-4SS) by LiAlH₄ reductions stereoselectively and were then converted to single enantiomer thiazol-2-imines (9-12RR and 9-12SS) by a water elimination reaction. The kinetics of the dehydration reactions which occurred spontaneously both in the solid state and in the solution have been followed by time dependent ¹ H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The corresponding first order rate constants and free energies of activation values for the conversions have been reported.

One-Pot Three-Component Synthesis of 2-Imino-1,3-Thiazolines on Soluble Ionic Liquid Support

An efficient one-pot, three-component synthesis of 2-imino-1,3-thiazolidines and 2-imino-1,3-thiazolines using ionic liquid-tethered 2-aminobenzimidazoles was reported. The protocol includes reaction of ionic liquid attached 2-aminobenzimidazoles with isothiocyanates to afford isothioureas, followed by its base induced inter and intramolecular nucleophilic displacement reactions with 1,2-dichloroethane (EDC) which results in thiazolidine ring formation. In the next to the last step, the ionic liquid support was removed by methanolysis to deliver 2-imino-1,3-thiazolidines, which were sequentially oxidized with manganese(III) triacetate to yield 2-imino-1,3-thiazolines. The salient feature of this method is the use of 1,2-dichloroethane as a synthetic equivalent for α-haloketone to avoid the use of toxic halogenating reagents.

Microwave-assisted rapid synthesis of sugar-based pyrazole derivatives with anticancer activity in water

A rapid, efficient and green method has been developed for the synthesis of some novel sugar-based pyrazole derivatives in eco-friendly water under microwave irradiation in good yields.

d-Glucosamine as a green ligand for copper catalyzed synthesis of aryl sulfones from aryl halides and sodium sulfinates

d-Glucosamine is reported for the first time as a green ligand for copper catalyzed coupling of aryl halides and sodium sulfinates, which provides a simple and extremely efficient new route to unsymmetrical diaryl sulfones.

4-Chloro-2-[(4-chloro-benzyl-idene)amino]-phenol

In the title Schiff base compound, C(13)H(9)Cl(2)NO, the mol-ecule displays an E conformation about the imine C=N double bond, with a dihedral angle of 8.09 (11)° between the two benzene rings. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by a single O-H⋯O hydrogen bond, giving one-dimensional chains which extend along (100).
