Synthesis and antimycobacterial activity of novel heterocycles

Recent investigations into synthesis and pharmacological activities of phenoxy acetamide and its derivatives (chalcone, indole and quinoline) as possible therapeutic candidates

Medicinal chemistry can rightfully be regarded as a cornerstone in the public health of our modern society that combines chemistry and pharmacology with the aim of designing and developing new pharmaceutical compounds. For this purpose, many chemical techniques as well as new computational chemistry applications are used to study the utilization of drugs and their biological effects. In the biological interface, medicinal chemistry constitutes a group of interdisciplinary sciences, as well as controlling its organic, physical and computational pillars. Therefore, medicinal chemists working to design an integrated and developing system that portends an era of novel and safe tailored drugs either by synthesizing new pharmaceuticals or to improving the processes by which existing pharmaceuticals are made. It includes researching the effects of synthetic, semi-synthetic and natural biologically active substances based on molecular interactions in terms of molecular structure with triggered functional groups or the specific physicochemical properties. The present work focuses on the literature survey of chemical diversity of phenoxy acetamide and its derivatives (Chalcone, Indole and Quinoline) in the molecular framework in order to get complete information regarding pharmacologically interesting compounds of widely different composition. From a biological and industrial point of view, this literature review may provide an opportunity for the chemists to design new derivatives of phenoxy acetamide and its derivatives that proved to be the successful agent in view of safety and efficacy to enhance life quality.

Synthesis of a new 1,2,3,4,5-pentasubstituted cyclohexanol and determining its stereochemistry by NMR spectroscopy and quantum-chemical calculations

The presence of substituents in cyclohexane can influence to the ratio of conformers; for some cases, the boat form is preferable. The new six-membered cyclohexanol derivative 2 has been obtained by the synthesis of (E)-1-(bromophenyl)-3-phenylpropen-2-one (1). The NMR and quantum-chemical conformational analysis for the 2 have carried out, and its possible mechanism of formation was given. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

New synthesis on the basis 2-allyloxy chalcone and NMR studies its some derivatives

Synthesis and NMR investigations of cyclohexenone, flavanone, isoxazol and indazole derivatives of (2E)-3-[2-(allyloxy)-5-bromophenyl]-1-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-2-propen-1-one (I, chalcone) have been carried out. The results confirm the formation of O-H•••O type intramolecular hydrogen bond and intramolecular cyclization in the (2E)-3-[2-(allyloxy)-5-bromophenyl]-1-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-2-propen-1-one (I), the presence of conformational and keto-enol tautomeric transitions in the 6-acetyl-5-[2-(allyloxy)-5-bromophenyl]-3-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-one (II), conformational transitions in the 2-{4-[2-(allyloxy)-5-bromophenyl]-3-methyl-4.5-dihydro-1.2-benzisoxazol-6-yl}-4-methylphenol (III) and 2-{4-[2-(allyloxy)-5-bromophenyl]-3-methyl-4.5-dihydro-1H-indazol-6-yl}-4-methylphenol (IV). The conformational and keto-enol tautomerism in the investigated compounds have been also confirmed by chemical methods.

Molecular dynamics of (E)-6-acetyl-3-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-5-styryl cyclohex-2-en-1-one and (E)-6-ethylcarboxylate-3-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-5-styryl cyclohex-2-en-1-one in a solution studied by NMR spectroscopy

Molecular dynamics of cyclohexenone derivatives of (2E,4E)-1-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-5-phenyl-2,4-pentadiene-1-one (chalcone) has been investigated in solutions using NMR. The results confirm the formation of O-H···O intramolecular hydrogen bond and the presence of keto-enol tautomeric transitions in the (E)-6-acetyl-3-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)-5-styryl cyclohex-2-en-1-one. The free energy of activation for the keto-enol tautomeric transitions has been calculated. The keto-enol tautomerism in the investigated compound has been also confirmed by chemical method.

4-(1,3-Diphenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-1,3-diphenyl-1H-pyrazole

The title compound, C(30)H(24)N(4), contains two pyrazole rings and four phenyl rings. The pyrazole rings are essentially planar, with maximum deviations of 0.003 (1) and 0.066 (1) Å and make a dihedral angle of 73.43 (6)°. The two pyrazole rings make dihedral angles of 40.08 (6), 9.28 (6), 15.78 (8) and 17.25 (7)° with their attached phenyl rings. In the crystal, there are no significant inter-molecular hydrogen-bonding inter-actions. The crystal structure is stabilized by C-H⋯π inter-actions.

Synthesis of some new S-triazine based chalcones and their derivatives as potent antimicrobial agents

Base catalysed condensation of ketone 5 with different aldehydes give chalcones, 2.4-bis-(phenylamino)-6-[4'-{3''-(4'''-substituted phenyl/2'''-furanyl/2'''-thienyl)-2''-propenon-1''-yl}phenylamino]-s-thriazines 6a-e. These chalcones on cyclization with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of glacial acetic acid, guanidine nitrate in the presence of alkali and malononitrile in the presence of ammonium acetate give the corresponding acetylpyrazolines 7a-e, aminopyrimidines 8a-e and cyanopyridines 9a-e respectively. The products 6a-e, 7a-e, 8a-e and 9a-e were fully characterized by spectroscopic and elemental analysis and also tested for antibacterial activity.
