Schiff bases encompassing a 1,2,3-triazole motif were synthesized using an efficient multi-step synthesis. The formations of targeted Schiff base ligands were confirmed by different spectroscopic techniques (FT-IR, H NMR, C NMR, and CHN analysis). The spectral data analysis revealed that the newly designed hydrazones exist as a mixture of and - diastereomers.

New conjugates of substituted 1,2,3-triazoles linked to 1,2,4-triazoles were synthesized starting from the appropriate S-propargylated 1,2,4-triazoles and . Ligation of 1,2,4-triazoles to the 1,2,3-triazole core was performed through Cu(I)-catalyzed cycloaddition of 1,2,4-triazole-based alkyne side chain and/or with several un/functionalized alkyl- and/or aryl-substituted azides to afford the desired 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles , using both classical and microwave methods. After their spectroscopic characterization (infrared, H, C nuclear magnetic resonance, and elemental analyses), an anticancer screening was carried out against some cancer cell lines including human colon carcinoma (Caco-2 and HCT116), human cervical carcinoma (HeLa), and human breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7).

Newer imidazolium ionic liquid (IL) halides appending variety of fluorinated phenylacetamide side chains were designed and synthesized through quaternization of 1-methyl and/or 1,2-dimethylimidazole with appropriate 2-chloro--(fluorinatedphenyl)acetamides. The resulting ILs were converted to their respective ionic liquid analogues carrying fluorinated counteranions (PF , BF , and/or CFCOO) . All newly synthesized ILs were fully characterized using several spectroscopic experiments such as H, C, B, F, P NMR, and mass analysis.

This study reports an efficient and convenient regioselective synthesis of a novel series of S- and S,N-bis(acyclonucleoside) analogues carrying 5-(2-chlorophenyl)-2,4-dihydro-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione. A facile and straightforward synthesis of thiazolotriazole and triazolothiazines has also been reported. Structures of all newly synthesized compounds were well characterized by infrared IR, H and C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass (MS) spectra analyses.

Background: Pyridinium Schiff bases and ionic liquids have attracted increasing interest in medicinal chemistry.

Results: A library of 32 cationic fluorinated pyridinium hydrazone-based amphiphiles tethering fluorinated counteranions was synthesized by alkylation of 4-fluoropyridine hydrazone with various long alkyl iodide exploiting lead quaternization and metathesis strategies. All compounds were assessed for their anticancer inhibition activity towards different cancer cell lines and the results revealed that increasing the length of the hydrophobic chain of the synthesized analogues appears to significantly enhance their anticancer activities.

Background: Nitrogen heterocyclic rings and sulfonamides have attracted attention of several researchers.

Results: A series of regioselective imidazole-based mono- and bis-1,4-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazole-sulfonamide conjugates 4a-f and 6a-f were designed and synthesized. The first step in the synthesis was a regioselective propargylation in the presence of the appropriate basic catalyst (EtN and/or KCO) to afford the corresponding mono-2 and bis-propargylated imidazoles 5.

Background: 1,2,4-Triazoles and 1,2,3-triazoles have gained significant importance in medicinal chemistry.

Results: This study describes a green, efficient and quick solvent free click synthesis of new 1,2,3-triazole-4,5-diesters carrying a lipophilic side chain via 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of diethylacetylene dicarboxylate with different surfactant azides. Further structural modifications of the resulting 1,2,3-triazole diesters to their corresponding 1,2,4-triazole-3-thiones via multi-step synthesis has been also investigated.

In the present study, a new series of 2,5-disubstituted-1,3,4-thiadiazole tethered 1,2,4-triazole, 1,3,4-thiadiazole, 1,3,4-oxadiazole and Schiff base derivatives were synthesized and characterized by IR, ¹H-NMR, (13)C-NMR, MS and elemental analyses. All compounds were screened for their antibacterial, antifungal and antiproliferative activity. Some of the synthesized derivatives have displayed promising biological activity.
