Reactions of group 4 metallocene sources with 2-substituted pyridines were investigated to evaluate their coordination type between innocent and reductive dearomatisation as well as to probe the possibility for couplings. A dependence on the cyclopentadienyl ligands (Cp, Cp*), the metals (Ti, Zr), and the substrates (2-phenyl-, 2-acetyl-, and 2-iminopyridine) was observed. While 2-phenylpyridine is barely reactive, 2-acetylpyridine reacts vigorously with the Cp-substituted complexes and selectively with their Cp* analogues. With 2-iminopyridine, in all cases selective reactions were observed. In the isolated [Cp Ti], [Cp Zr], and [Cp* Zr] compounds the substrate coordinates by its pyridyl ring and the unsaturated side-chain. Subsequently, the pyridine was dearomatised, which is most pronounced in the [Cp* Zr] compounds. Using [Cp* Ti] leads to the unexpected paramagnetic complexes [Cp* Ti (N,O-acpy)] and [Cp* Ti (N,N'-impy)]. This highlights the non-innocent character of the pyridyl substrates.

Herein, we describe a novel reaction between C-2-substituted indoles and 2-nitroacetophenones leading to a variety of indole-containing heterocyclic scaffolds. At 60 °C in AcOH with HSO as catalyst, C-2 aryl indoles give 3-(2-nitrovinyl)-indoles with high or geometric selectivity depending on the type of substrate utilized. These compounds undergo an electrocyclization process in a sealed vial in a microwave apparatus in DMF at 250 °C to give benzo[]carbazoles and naphtho[2,1-]carbazoles depending on whether the C-2 aromatic moiety is phenyl or naphthyl.

Background: The development of antimicrobial agents is crucial for several reasons, primarily to combat infectious diseases and to address the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance. The need for the contin-ued development of antimicrobial drugs persists despite the presence of many existing drugs for several reasons viz; emerging new pathogens and diseases, reistance to existing drug and propogation of multi-drug resistance to existing drugs.
Objective: The objective of the study was to synthesize and evaluate the antimicrobial potential of newly synthesized benzothiazole derivatives.

Macrophage polarization towards the M1 phenotype under bacterial product-related exposure (LPS) requires a rapid change in gene expression patterns and cytokine production along with a metabolic rewiring. Metabolic pathways and redox reactions are such tightly connected, giving rise to an area of research referred to as immunometabolism. A role in this context has been paid to the master redox-sensitive regulator Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and to the 5'-ectonucleotidase CD73, a marker related to macrophage metabolism rearrangement under pro-inflammatory conditions.

The synthesis of pyridines from dinitrogen in homogeneous solution is known to be challenging considering that an N cleavage step needs to be combined with two N-C coupling steps. Herein, a tungsten complex bearing a tailor-made 2,2'-(BuAs)-substituted tolane ligand scaffold was shown to split N to afford the corresponding tungsten nitride, which is not the case for the corresponding (PrAs)-substituted derivative. The former nitride was then reacted with 2,4,6-trimethylpyrylium triflate, which led to the formation of a tungsten oxo complex, along with collidine.

The purpose of this work is to create and synthesize a new class of chemicals: 3-cyano-2-substituted pyridine compounds with expected multitarget inhibition of histone deacetylase (HDAC) and tubulin. The target compounds ( and ) were synthesized utilizing 6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxo-4-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-3-cyanopyridine, with various linkers and zinc-binding groups (ZBGs). Most of the tested compounds showed promising growth inhibition, and hydroxamic acid-containing hybrids possessed higher HDAC inhibition than other ZBGs.
