Oxidative Ring-Opening Transformation of 5-Acyl-4-pyrones as an Approach for the Tunable Synthesis of Hydroxylated Pyrones and Furans.

A selective and tunable approach for oxidation of 4-pyrones has been developed ring-opening transformations leading to various hydroxylated oxaheterocycles. The first step of the strategy includes the base-catalyzed epoxidation of 5-acyl-4-pyrones in the presence of hydrogen peroxide for the effective synthesis of pyrone epoxides in high yields. The epoxides bearing the COEt group are reactive molecules that can undergo both pyrone and oxirane ring-opening deformylation to produce hydroxylated 2-pyrones or 4-pyrones.

Different Behavior of 2-Substituted 3-Nitro-2-chromenes in the Reaction with Stabilized Azomethine Ylides Generated from α-Iminoesters.

The AgOAc-catalysed reaction of 3-nitro-2-phenyl-2-chromenes with stabilized azomethine ylides generated from the imines based on methyl glycinate and arylaldehydes leads to a mixture of and ' isomers of the corresponding chromeno[3,4-]pyrrolidines in a ratio of 2.0-2.3:1 in 85-93% total yields as a result of a Michael addition/Mannich reaction sequence.

Synthesis of 4-Aminopyrazol-5-ols as Edaravone Analogs and Their Antioxidant Activity.

One of the powerful antioxidants used clinically is Edaravone (EDA). We synthesized a series of new EDA analogs, 4-aminopyrazol-5-ol hydrochlorides, including polyfluoroalkyl derivatives, via the reduction of 4-hydroxyiminopyrazol-5-ones. The primary antioxidant activity of the compounds in comparison with EDA was investigated in vitro using ABTS, FRAP, and ORAC tests.

Multiple biological active 4-aminopyrazoles containing trifluoromethyl and their 4-nitroso-precursors: Synthesis and evaluation.

4-Nitroso-3-trifluoromethyl-5-alkyl[(het)aryl]pyrazoles were synthesized via one-pot nitrosation of 1,3-diketones or their lithium salts followed by treatment of hydrazines. Reduction of nitroso-derivatives made it possible to obtain 4-amino-3-trifluoromethylpyrazoles chlorides. According to computer-aided calculations, all synthesized compounds are expected to have acceptable ADME profile for drug design.

The different modes of chiral [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines: crystal packing, conformation investigation and cellular activity.

The crystal structures of four new chiral [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines are described, namely, ethyl 5'-benzoyl-5'H,7'H-spiro[cyclohexane-1,6'-[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine]-3'-carboxylate, CHNOS, ethyl 5'-(4-methoxybenzoyl)-5'H,7'H-spiro[cyclohexane-1,6'-[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine]-3'-carboxylate, CHNOS, ethyl 6,6-dimethyl-5-(4-methylbenzoyl)-6,7-dihydro-5H-[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine-3-carboxylate, CHNOS, and ethyl 5-benzoyl-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6,7-dihydro-5H-[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine-3-carboxylate, CHNOS. The crystallographic data and cell activities of these four compounds and of the structures of three previously reported similar compounds, namely, ethyl 5'-(4-methylbenzoyl)-5'H,7'H-spiro[cyclopentane-1,6'-[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine]-3'-carboxylate, CHNOS, ethyl 5'-(4-methoxybenzoyl)-5'H,7'H-spiro[cyclopentane-1,6'-[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine]-3'-carboxylate, CHNOS, and ethyl 6-methyl-5-(4-methylbenzoyl)-6-phenyl-6,7-dihydro-5H-[1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazine-3-carboxylate, CHNOS, are contrasted and compared. For both crystallization and an MTT assay, racemic mixtures of the corresponding [1,2,3]triazolo[5,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines were used.

Fluorescent boron complexes based on new N,O-chelates as promising candidates for flow cytometry.

This study presents the synthesis and optical properties of a new class of bright green-yellow fluorescent dyes with potential applications in bioimaging. A facile synthetic route via the chelation of aryl(hetaryl)aminoacryloylthiophene scaffolds with a BF2 fragment is presented. The photophysical properties of the dyes are attributed to the nature and position of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents.
