Kinetics of the reactions of four 2-benzylidene-indan-1,3-diones (1a-d) with carbanions (2a-I) have been studied photometrically in dimethyl sulfoxide solution at 20 degrees C, and the electrophilicity parameters E were determined by the linear free energy relationship log k(2)(20 degrees C) = s(N + E) (eqn (1)). The rate-determining step of these reactions is the nucleophilic attack of the carbon nucleophile at the double bond of the Michael acceptor. Comparisons with literature data show that the linear free energy relationship (eqn (1)) allows the semiquantitative prediction of the reactivities of 2-benzylidene-indan-1,3-diones towards various nucleophiles.

The Schiff condensation between 4-methylbenzaldehyde and 2-aminopyridine, catalyzed by chloronium, bromonium, and iodonium triflates, as well as sulfonium, selenonium, and telluronium triflates, was investigated. H NMR monitoring revealed that the catalytic activity increased significantly with heavier σ-hole-bearing heteroatoms. DFT calculations showed that the maximum electrostatic potential at the σ-hole was a more reliable predictor of the catalytic activity of these organoelement species.

In this work, we show two synthetic routes to substitute the N position of mesoionic imines (MIIs). By Buchwald-Hartwig amination, 5-amino-1,2,3-triazoles can be arylated at the said position, showing the versatility of amino-triazoles as building blocks for MIIs. The reaction of MIIs with electrophiles (MeI, fluoro-arenes) highlights the nucleophilic nature of MIIs as even at room temperature aromatic C-F bonds can be activated with MIIs.

The kinetics of the σ-complexation reactions of 3,5-dicyanothiophene with a series of cyclic secondary amines - has been studied in water and acetonitrile at 20 °C. Through the linear free energy relationship (LFER) log = s ( + ), the electrophilicity parameter of 3,5-dicyanothiophene has been determined and then integrated into the electrophilicity scale established by Mayr. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been employed to elucidate the reversal in reactivity order between piperidine and pyrrolidine observed in water.

The main goal of the current study is to estimate the in vivo anti-inflammatory/antioxidant ability of four selected pharmaceutical compounds: bisoprolol (Biso), piracetam (Pirc), clopidogrel (Clop), and cinnarizine (Cinna). Indomethacin (Indo) was used as a reference drug to perform a realistic comparison between the four compounds and the Indo in vivo through tracking PI3K/AKT signaling and computational chemistry via density functional theory (DFT) modeling to analyze the electrostatic potential across the molecule and provide insight into the regions for receptor binding of the studied compounds. To achieve the safe dose of these compounds, cytotoxicity was performed against isolated adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADMSCs) using MTT assay.
