Synthesis of stable azide and alkyne functionalized phosphoramidite nucleosides.

The use of CuAAC chemistry to crosslink and stabilize oligonucleotides has been limited by the incompatibility of azides with the phosphoramidites used in automated oligonucleotide synthesis. Herein we report optimized reaction conditions to synthesize azide derivatives of thymidine and cytidine phosphoramidites. Investigation of the stability of the novel phosphoramidites using P NMR at room temperature showed less than 10% degradation after 6 hours.

Design, synthesis and evaluation of novel pyrazolo-pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidine derivatives as potent antibacterial and biofilm inhibitors.

An efficient four-component reaction of 6-amino-1,3-dimethyluracil, N,N-dimethylformamide dimethylacetal, 1-phenyl-3-(4-substituted-phenyl)-4-formyl-1H-pyrazoles and aromatic amines was conducted in the presence of [Bmim]FeCl ionic liquid as a promoting medium. This strategy provided a convenient route without any additional catalyst or metal salt under mild conditions. All the synthesized pyrazolo-pyrimido[4,5-d]pyrimidines derivatives were evaluated for their antibacterial, minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), biofilm inhibition, intracellular ROS accumulation and protein leakage activities.

An efficient one-pot synthesis of thiochromeno[3,4-d]pyrimidines derivatives: Inducing ROS dependent antibacterial and anti-biofilm activities.

An efficient synthesis of thiochromeno[3,4-d]pyrimidine derivatives has been achieved successfully via a one-pot three-component reaction of thiochrome-4-one, aromatic aldehyde and thiourea in the presence of 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium hydrogen sulphate [Bmim]HSO4. This new protocol has the advantages of environmental friendliness, high yields, short reaction times, and convenient operation. Furthermore, among all the tested derivatives, compounds 4b and 4c exhibited promising antibacterial, minimum bactericidal concentration and anti-biofilm activities against Staphylococcus aureus MTCC 96, Staphylococcus aureus MLS16 MTCC 2940 and Bacillus subtilis MTCC 121.

Ionic liquid-promoted multicomponent synthesis of fused tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines as α-glucosidase inhibitors.

A simple and facile synthesis of fused tetrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives based on the multicomponent reaction of acetophenone, dimethylformamidedimethylacetal and 5-aminotetrazole is described. A green chemical synthesis has been achieved by using1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate [Bmim]HSO4 ionic liquid as a reusable medium. Short synthetic route, operational simplicity, good yields, eco-friendliness and recyclability of the ionic liquid are the advantages of this method.

An expeditious four-component domino protocol for the synthesis of novel thiazolo[3,2-a]thiochromeno[4,3-d]pyrimidine derivatives as antibacterial and antibiofilm agents.

An efficient domino protocol has been developed for the synthesis of new pyrimidine scaffolds, through a one-pot four-component cascade transformation via [Bmim]HSO4 ionic liquid mediated reaction, using an equimolar mixture of thiochroman-4-one, benzaldehyde, thiourea and 3-bromo-1-phenylpropan-1-one leading to the formation of a double electrophilic pyrimidine-2(5H)-thione intermediate. The intermediate regioselectively undergoes cyclization through intramolecular NH bond activation followed by CS bond formation leading to highly functionalized thiazolo[3,2-a]thiochromeno[4,3-d]pyrimidines. The ionic liquid operates efficiently under mild conditions.

One-pot three-component domino protocol for the synthesis of novel pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidines as antimicrobial and anti-biofilm agents.

A simple and facile synthesis of a series of novel pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidines has been achieved successfully via the one-pot three-component reaction of 2-amino-7-methyl-5-oxo-4-phenyl-4,5-dihydropyrano[4,3-b]pyran-3-carbonitriles, DMF-DMA and arylamines in the presence of 1-butyl-3-methylhydrogensulphate [Bmim]HSO4 ionic liquid. This method has several advantages such as high yields, clean reaction, simple methodology and short reaction times. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive, Gram-negative and different Candida strains.
