After complexation with copper(II) ions, Schiff bases 1a-d may undergo an oxidative ring closure using atmospheric oxygen to give a number of imidazo[1,5-a]pyridines 2, an imidazo[1,5-a]imidazole 3, and an imidazo[5,1-a]isochinoline 4. This ligand oxidation can be performed with catalytic amounts of copper ions in the reaction. A catalytic cycle for the copper-catalyzed oxidative heterocyclization will be presented together with isolated copper complexes of Schiff bases 1a,b and intermediates 5 and 8 that were found by X-ray structure analyses which confirm this reaction scheme.

: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the most challenging molecular subtype of breast cancer (BC) in clinical practice, associated with a worse prognosis due to limited treatment strategies and its insensitivity to conventional drugs. Zinc is an important trace element for homeostasis, and its Schiff base metal complexes have shown promise in treating advanced tumors. In this study, four new heteroleptic Zn(II) complexes (-) with Schiff bases were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated for their activity in BC cells.

Sulfonamide drugs were the original class of antibiotics, demonstrating the antibacterial potential of dithiocarbazate and thiosemicarbazone Schiff base derivatives of syringaldehyde and 4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylbenzaldehyde. We synthesized unique Schiff bases via the condensation of the aldehydes with hydrazine derivatives, which allows for the easy synthesis of several related compounds. These Schiff base derivatives were tested for antileishmanial properties against the parasitic protozoan .

Background: Recently, pyrido[2,3-] pyrimidine, triazolopyrimidine, thiazolopyrimidine, quinoline, and pyrazole derivatives have gained attention due to their diverse biological activities, including antimicrobial, antioxidant, antitubercular, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral effects.

Objective: The synthesis of new heterocyclic compounds including 5-quinoline-pyrido[2,3-] pyrimidinone (-, , -), 6-quinoline-pyrido[2,3-]thiazolo[3,2-]pyrimidinone (, , -), 1,2,4-triazole-6-quinoline-pyrido[2,3-]thiazolo[3,2-]pyrimidinone (-), and pyrido[2,3-]thiazolo[3,2-]pyrimidine-ethyl-(pyridine)-9-thiaazabenzo[]azulenone () derivatives was performed with high yields while evaluating antimicrobial activities.

Methods: A new series of quinoline-pyrido[2,3-]thiazolo[3,2-]pyrimidine derivatives were prepared using a modern style and advanced technology, resulting in high yields of these new compounds.

The discriminative detection of volatile primary aliphatic diamines (VPADs) is a relevant and timely issue. This paper explores the distinctive optical features of H-type and J-type aggregates on paper-based (PB) films, namely H-PB and J-PB films, respectively, of a Lewis acidic Zn(salen)-type complex upon chemisorption of vapors of ditopic VPADs versus those of monotopic volatile amines. While volatile monotopic Lewis bases upon chemisorption give rise to mono-adducts accompanied by enhancement of the fluorescence, in contrast, VPADs act as ditopic bases forming di-adducts with distinct optical properties, leading to fluorescence quenching.

A series of colorful binuclear Schiff bases derived from the different diamine bridges including 1,2- ethylenediamine (bis-Et-SA, bis-Et-4-NEt, bis-Et-5-NO, bis-Et-Naph), 1,2-phenylenediamine (bis-Ph-SA, bis-Ph-4-NEt, bis-Ph-5-NO, bis-Ph-Naph), dicyano-1,2-ethenediamine (bis-CN-SA, bis-CN-4-NEt, bis-CN-5-NO, bis-CN-Naph) have been designed and prepared. The optical properties of these binuclear Schiff base ligands were fully determined by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence emission spectroscopy, and time-dependent-density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations. The inclusion of D-A systems and/or π-extended systems in these binuclear Schiff base ligands not only enables adjustable RGB light absorption and emission spectra (300~700 nm) but also yields high fluorescence quantum efficiencies of up to 0.
