Oxidation of amide, urea and guanidinium derivatives of dopamine gives relatively stable ortho-quinones whereas oxidation of corresponding thioamide and amidinium derivatives rapidly and quantitatively gives novel bicyclic and spirocyclic products formed via the corresponding ortho-quinone.

The pathology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is complex due to its multifactorial nature and single targeting drugs proved inefficient. A series of novel 4-N-substituted-2-phenylquinazoline derivatives was designed and synthesized as potential multi-target directed ligands (MTDLs) through dual inhibition of AChE and MAO-B enzymes along with Aβ aggregation inhibition for the treatment of AD. Two compounds in the series, VAV-8 and VAV-19 were found to be the most potent inhibitors of both AChE and MAO-B enzymes and moderate inhibitor of Aβ, with good thermodynamic stability at the binding pocket of the enzymes.

The synthesis and characterization of novel platinum(II) and platinum(IV) complexes derived from unsymmetrical ethylene or propylenediamine derivatives are presented. IR spectroscopy and ESI mass spectrometry techniques were employed to characterize the complexes, revealing distinctive absorption bands and isotope patterns. Furthermore, the complexes were characterized by H and C NMR spectroscopy.

A novel palladium-catalyzed intramolecular C-H amination via oxidative coupling exploiting inactivated N-substituted aryl amines on indoles for the one-pot synthesis of novel 11-benzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-]indole derivatives is reported. The optimized reaction conditions accommodated a wide range of electronic variations on both the indole and the pendant aryl amine ring, resulting in products with good to excellent yields.

High ionic conductivity poly(ionic liquid)s (PILs) are of growing interest for their thermal and electrochemical stability, processability, and potential in safe, flexible all-solid-state electrochemical devices. While various approaches to enhance the ionic conductivity are reported, the influence of cation substituents is rarely addressed. Moreover, some of the asymmetric anions recently developed for high-conductivity ionic liquids were never tested in PILs.

A cobalt(III)-catalyzed dual C(sp)-H/C(sp)-H activation of 2-arylimidazopyridines and its annulation with N-substituted maleimides leads to polycyclic aromatic heterocycles. This sustainable oxidative annulation uses earth-abundant, less toxic, and cost-effective cobalt(III) catalyst that complement expensive 2nd and 3rd-row metals. This oxidative annulation features a broad substrate scope with very good functional group tolerance.
