Reactions and Biological Activities of Hydrazonoyl Halides

This review covers the literature information on the chemistry of hydrazonoyl halides with different substrates to give heterocyclic compounds. From the foregoing survey, it seems this provides a useful and convenient strategy for the synthesis of numerous heterocyclic derivatives. The subject of such reactions is still ongoing and undoubtedly will provide new fused functionalized compounds of both industrial and biological interest. A literature survey revealed that a great deal of interest has been focused on the synthesis of functionalized heterocyclic compounds due to their wide range of biological activities, such as contact dermatitis, anthelmintic, antiviral, antimicrobial, herbicidal, and anti-cancer. On the other hand, hydrazonoyl halides are interesting synthons for valuable bioactive heterocyclic compounds. The reaction of hydrazonoyl halides with various types of substrates gave a huge number of different heterocyclic systems. In this review, we collected all reactions of hydrazonoyl halides with different moieties and classified them as aryl diazo of monoheterocycles, aryldiazo of 5,5-bis-heterocycles, aryldiazo of 5,6-bis-heterocycles, aryldiazo of 6,6-bis-heterocycles, aryldiazo of 5,5,6-tri-heterocycles, aryldiazo of 5,6,6-tri-heterocycles, aryldiazo of 6,6,6-tri-heterocycles, hetero annulation of bisheterocycles, hetero annulation of tri-heterocycles, hetero-annulation of tetra-heterocycles, synthesis of spiro-heterocycles, heterocyclic ring transformations, and 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions catalyzed by transition metals using hydrazonoyl halides as substrates.Most reaction types have been successfully applied and used in the production of biologically active compounds. The aim of the present survey is to consider in the reader the opportunity interactions and biological activities of hydrazonoyl halides. The information of several artificial paths and varied physics-chemical factors of such heterocycles made a special consideration of chemists in different fields to yield a combinatorial library and carry out thorough efforts in the search for hydrazonoyl halides.

Innovation of Imine Metal Chelates as Corrosion Inhibitors at Different Media: A Collective Study

The corrosion inhibition of transition metal chelates derived from Schiff base ligands was tested for (mild, copper, stainless, aluminum and carbon) steel in various concentrations of (HCl, HNO3 and H2SO4) acidic medium at 25 °C through (weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization, polarization curves, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and open circuit potential measurements (OCP)) techniques. The studied compounds were identified with various spectral, analytical and physico-chemical techniques. It was observed that the investigated compounds had a significant inhibitory impact on the corrosion of diverse steels in the medium investigated. The analysis shows that increasing the dose of the studied complexes improves the corresponding inhibitory efficiency values. Negative results of Gibb's free adsorption energy (ΔGads0) prove the suppression process's spontaneous and physical adsorption, which contradicts the Langmuir adsorption isotherm. As a result of this insight, a novel bridge between nuclearity driven coordinated inorganic chemistry and materials, as well as corrosion control, has been built. This review provides an overview of the use of Schiff bases and associated transition metals as potential corrosion inhibitors, including the factors that influence their application.

Facile Synthesis and Characterization of CeO2-Nanoparticle-Loaded Carboxymethyl Cellulose as Efficient Protective Films for Mild Steel: A Comparative Study of Experiential and Computational Findings

Corrosion is considered to be the most severe problem facing alloys and metals, one that causes potentially dangerous industrial issues such as the deterioration of buildings and machinery, and corrosion in factory tanks and pipelines in petroleum refineries, leading to limited lifetime and weak efficacy of such systems. In this work, novel CeO₂-nanoparticle-loaded carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was successfully prepared by using a simple method. The structural configuration of the prepared CeO₂-nanoparticle-loaded CMC was investigated by FE-SEM/EDX, TEM, FT-IR, and thermal analyses. The corrosion protection proficiency of uncoated and coated mild steel with CeO₂-CMC systems in 1.0 M HCl solutions was studied by E_OCP-time, EIS, and PDP tools. Moreover, the relationship between the structure of coating films and their corrosion protection was confirmed by DFT calculation and MC simulation. The obtained findings from the studied methods showed that the prepared CeO₂-CMC-coated films reported high corrosion resistance. The protection capacity augmented with ceria presents an increase of up to 3% to achieve 98.4%. DFT calculation and MC simulation confirmed the influence of the chemical construction of coated films on its protection capacity, which was in accordance with the experimental results.

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluations of Novel Azothiazoles Based on Thioamide

Herein we studied the preparation of different thiazoles via the reaction of 2-(3,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)hydrazine-1-carbothioamide (1) with hydrazonoyl halides under base-catalyzed conditions. The reactions proceed through nucleophilic substitution attack at the halogen atom of the hydrazonoyl halides by the thiol nucleophile to form an S-alkylated intermediate. The latter intermediate undergoes cyclization by the loss of water to afford the final products. The structures of the azo compounds were confirmed by FTIR, MS, NMR, and elemental analyses. Indeed, the newly synthesized azo compounds were estimated for their potential anticancer activities by an MTT assay against different human cancer cells, such as lung adenocarcinoma (A549) and colorectal adenocarcinoma (DLD-1). The caspase-3 levels were also estimated using Western blotting and the dual staining technique to evaluate the potency of the titled compounds to promote apoptosis.

Experimental and In-Silico Computational Modeling of Cerium Oxide Nanoparticles Functionalized by Gelatin as an Eco-Friendly Anti-Corrosion Barrier on X60 Steel Alloys in Acidic Environments

An eco-friendly and a facile route successfully prepared novel cerium oxide nanoparticles functionalized by gelatin. The introduced CeO₂@gelatin was investigated in terms of FE-SEM, EDX, TEM, chemical mapping, FT-IR, and (TGA) thermal analyses. These characterization tools indicate the successful synthesis of a material having CeO₂ and gelatin as a composite material. The prepared composite CeO₂@gelatin was used as an environment-friendly coated film or X60 steel alloys in acidizing oil well medium. Moreover, the effect of CeO₂ percent on film composition was investigated. LPR corrosion rate, E_ocp-time, EIS, and PDP tools determined the corrosion protection capacity. The CeO₂@gelatin composite exhibited high protection capacity compared to pure gelatin; in particular, 5.0% CeO₂@gelatin coating film shows the highest protection capacity (98.2%), with long-term anti-corrosive features. The % CeO₂@gelatin-coated films formed the protective adsorbed layer on the steel interface by developing a strong bond among nitrogen atoms in the CeO₂@gelatin film and the electrode interface. Surface morphology using FESEM measurements confirmed the high efficiency of the fabricated CeO₂@gelatin composite on the protection X60 steel alloys. DFT calculations and MC simulations were explored to study the relations between the protection action and the molecular construction of the coated systems, which were in good alignment with the empirical findings.
