The applications of Cu(II)-β-CD as water soluble green catalyst for the one-pot conversion benzyl halide to benzyl azide and 1,2,3-trizoles at room temperature and very short reaction time (15-70 min) was presented. Products were separated without any workup, simple by filtration, with >99 % selectivity and purity. As-synthesized material was characterized by, HR-TEM, XPS, FESEM, FT-IR, TGA and XRD to understand its structural properties as well as attachment of copper by host-guest interaction. This catalyst also showed effectiveness for the condensed ketone and aldehydes moiety, which produced biofuels intermediate. The recyclability of this catalytic system was tested up to five cycles and only a very slight loss of catalytic activity was detected.

Cathepsin B is a lysosomal cysteine protease that has various physiol. and pathophysiol. functions. We present here the discovery of 6-substituted 4-benzylthio-1,3,5-triazin-2(1H)-ones as inhibitors of cathepsin B, starting from screening of a library of variously 2,4,6-trisubstituted 1,3,5-triazines and 1,3,5-triazin-2(1H)-ones on three different human cathepsins. The synthesis and enzymic evaluation of a focused library of new 1,3,5-triazin-2(1H)-ones, e.g. I [R – o-OMe, m-F, p-NO2, etc.], is also described. The detailed kinetics analyses have shown that these compounds can act as reversible, partial mixed-type inhibitors of cathepsin B, with Ki and Ki‘ values in the low micromolar range. The inhibitory activities of selected compounds were also assessed against two related cysteine proteases, cathepsin H and cathepsin L, to estimate their selectivity; these compounds have a selective profile for catB and catL over catH.

Greywater and stormwater have received significant attention due to increasing water scarcity. Passive filtration such as biofiltration has been a popular treatment method with its low energy input and environmental friendliness. However, pathogen removal capacity needs improvement to achieve safe water quality. In this study, a prebiotic chem. inspired copolymer based on aminomalononitrile and 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzaldehyde (AMNT30) was introduced to develop antimicrobial media for passive filtration. The AMNT30 polymer provided an adhesive coating on zeolite substrates following a spontaneous polymerization process at room temperature AMNT30 coated media were investigated for metal loading capacity, surface morphol., E. coli removal and metal leaching after filtration of different water sources (i.e. stormwater, greywater, and deionized water) at low/high conductivity The coating enhanced metal ion loading on the surface and demonstrated that >8 log reduction of E. coli can be achieved for silver loaded materials compared to a 1 log reduction for copper loaded materials. The coating also increased the stability of the metals on the media irresp. of inflow characteristics. This study provided the first example using AMNT30 to create antimicrobial water purification media. It is expected that this technol. will find applications in the water treatment industry.

Zhao, Tong published the artcileDiscovery of novel indolylarylsulfones as potent HIV-1 NNRTIs via structure-guided scaffold morphing, HPLC of Formula: 612-13-5, the publication is European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry (2019), 111619, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.

For more in-depth exploration of the chem. space around the entrance channel of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT), a series of novel indolylarylsulfones (IASs) bearing different chiral N-substituted pyrrolidines (R/S)-I [R1 = methanesulfonyl, pyridin-3-ylmethyl, (2-fluorophenyl)methyl, (4-methyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)methyl, etc.], azetidines II or substituted sulfonamide groups III [R2 = 2-(2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-1-yl)ethyl, ethanesulfonyl, cyclopropanesulfonyl, etc.] at indole-2-carboxamide were designed and synthesized as potent HIV NNRTIs by structure-guided scaffold morphing approach. All the IASs exhibited moderate to excellent potency against wild-type HIV-1 with EC50values ranging from 0.0043 μM to 4.42 μM. Notably, compound (R)-I (R1 = methanesulfonyl) (EC50 = 4.7 nM, SI = 5183) and (S)-I (R1 = methanesulfonyl) (EC50 = 4.3 nM, SI = 7083) were identified as the most potent compounds, which were more active than nevirapine, lamivudine and efavirenz, and also reached the same order of etravirine. Furthermore, some compounds maintained excellent activity against various single HIV-1 mutants (L100I, K103 N, E138K, Y181C) as well as one double mutant (F227L/V106A) with EC50 values in low-micromolar concentration ranges. Notably, II (R2 = carbamoylmethyl) displayed outstanding potency against F227L/V106A (EC50 = 0.094 μM), and also showed exceptional activity against E138K (EC50 = 0.014 μM), L100I (EC50 = 0.011 μM) and K103 N (EC50 = 0.025 μM). Addnl., most compounds showed markedly reduced cytotoxicity (CC50) compared to lead compounds, especially II [R2 = (2-cyanophenyl)methyl] (CC50 >234.91 μM, SI >18727) and II (R2 = methanesulfonyl) (CC50 >252.49 μM, SI >15152). Preliminary SARs and mol. modeling studies were also discussed in detail, which may provide valuable insights for further optimization.

Based on the monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibition properties of aminoheterocycles with a carbonitrile group we have carried out a systematic exploration to discover new classes of carbonitriles endowed with dual MAO and AChE inhibitory activities, and Aβ anti-aggregating properties. Eighty-three nitrile-containing compounds, 13 of which are new, were synthesized and evaluated. In vitro screening revealed that 31, a new compound, presented the best lead for trifunctional inhibition against MAO A (0.34μM), MAO B (0.26μM), and AChE (52μM), while 32 exhibited a lead for selective MAO A (0.12μM) inhibition coupled to AChE (48μM) inhibition. Computational anal. revealed that the malononitrile group can find an advantageous position with the aromatic cleft and FAD of MAO A or MAO B. However, the total binding energy can be handicapped by an internal penalty caused by twisting of the ligand mol. and subsequent disruption of the conjugation (32 in MAO B compared to the conjugated 31). Conjugation is also important for AChE as well as the hydrophilic character of malononitrile that allows this group to be in close contact with the aqueous environment as seen for 83. Although the effect of 31 and 32 against Aβ1-42, was very weak, the effect of 63 and 65, and of the new compound 75, indicated that these compounds were able to disaggregate Aβ1-42 fibrils. The most effective was 63, a (phenylhydrazinylidene)propanedinitrile derivative that also inhibited MAO A (1.65μM), making it a potential lead for Alzheimer’s disease application.

Campbell, Neil published the artcilePreparation of the halophenylacetic acids, Quality Control of 13312-84-0, the publication is Journal of the Chemical Society (1948), 1251-5, database is CAplus.

Gränacher’s synthesis (C.A. 16, 3898; 17, 2424) has been applied to the preparation of XC6H4CH2CO2H; the method depends on a satisfactory preparation of rhodanine (I), which is discussed. The yield of I depends upon the yield of H2NCSSNH4 (II) in the 1st stage of the reaction; the yield of II, as compared with that of CS(SNH4)2 (III), is a function of the NH3 concentration which, in turn, is dependent on the temperature The more concentrated the NH3 solution, the greater is the yield of III; the best yield of II is obtained at 10-15°; the yield of I from II is 44%. When the temperature is kept below 0%, III is the main product. Methods of distinguishing between II and III are given. Mol. quantities of aldehyde and I in AcOH (5 cc. per g. aldehyde), refluxed 0.5 h. with fused AcONa (twice the weight of I), give the following benzylidenerhodanines (IV): ο-Cl, pale yellow, m. 192°, 97% (Andreasch, C.A. 22, 3410, gives 169°); m-Cl, pale yellow, m. 233°, 93%; p-Cl, yellow, m. 231-2°, 93%; ο-Br, orange, m. 183.5°, 80%; m-Br, yellow, m. 238°, 90%; p-Br, yellow, m. 237-8°, 84%. IV were transformed into β-phenyl-α-thiopyruvic acids (V) by heating with 8 cc. 8% NaOH (per g. IV) at 50-5° until a clear or nearly clear solution resulted, cooling in an ice-salt bath, and acidifying rapidly with 3 N HCl; the crude acid in cold EtOH is precipitated with 1-2 volumes cold H2O and recrystallized from MeOH, petr. ether, etc.; however, the crude acids were used in the next step. ο-Cl, m. 134-5°, 72% (A. gives 119-20°); m-Cl, straw-colored, m. 134°, 84%; p-Cl, yellow, m. 169-71°, 84% [a byproduct is probably α,α’-dithiobis(m-chlorocinnamic acid), yellow, m. 221-2°]; ο-Br, lemon-yellow, m. 142-3°, 70%; m-Br, pale yellow, m. 133-4°, 81%; p-Br, m. 165-80°, 75% (could not be purified further). α-Isonitroso-β-(halophenyl)propionic acids (VI) were prepared from V by refluxing (about 0.5 h.) in alc. containing 3 mols. NH2OH (until H2S evolution ceases); the crude acid is precipitated from dilute NaOH solution with concentrated HCl. ο-Cl, m. 156°, 83%; m-Cl, m. 149° (decomposition), 100%; p-Cl, m. 170° (decomposition) (1 sample m. 182°), 100%; ο-Br, m. 150° (decomposition), 100%; m-Br, m. 151°, 93%; p-Br, m. 173°, 85% (yields are of crude products). VI, refluxed 10 min. with Ac2O (4 cc. per g. VI), the Ac2O removed in vacuo, and the residue extracted with ether, give the (halophenyl)acetonitriles (VII): ο-Cl, b11 123-5°, 64%; m-Cl, b10 134-6°, 55%; p-Cl, b12 137-9°, m. 31-2°, 80%; ο-Br, b13, 140-1°, 88%; m-Br, b10 145-7°, m. 27-8°, 70%; p-Br, b10-12 152-6°, m. 48°, 72%. The over-all yields of the VII from the aldehydes were: ο-, m-, and p-Cl, 57, 47, 62%; ο-, m-, and p-Br, 49, 44, 38%; further losses, sometimes considerable, occur in the next step. VII were hydrolyzed by boiling with 60% H2SO4 or, preferably, with 20% EtOH-KOH, giving RC6H4CH2CO2H (R given): ο-Cl, m. 93-5° (p-nitrobenzyl ester, m. 70-1°); m-Cl, m. 77° (p-nitrobenzyl ester, m. 74-5°; p-toluidide, m. 138°); p-Cl, m. 104-6° (p-nitrobenzyl ester, m. 117°); ο-Br, m. 104-5° (p-nitrobenzyl ester, m. 74-5°; p-toluidide, m. 183-4°; anilide, m. 153-4°); m-Br, m. 102-3° (p-nitrobenzyl ester, m. 75-6°; p-toluidide, m. 135°); p-Br, m. 113-15° (p-nitrobenzyl ester, m. 128-9°; anilide, m. 174-6°; p-toluidide, m. 203°). The results show that this method leaves much to be desired. The crystalline compound from 20 g. p-BrC6H4CHO, 80 cc. NaHSO3, and 5 cc. EtOH, stirred 2 h. with 10 g. KCN in 20 cc. H2O, gives 12.5 g. p-bromomandelonitrile, m. 78-9°; 11 g. and 46 cc. HI (d. 1.94), refluxed 1 h. give 1.5 g. p-BrC6H4CH2CO2H; an unknown compound, m. 126-7°, is a byproduct. ο-ClC6H4CHO, through ο-ClC6H4CH(OH)CN, yields the benzoate (no properties given); refluxing with Pt black in tetralin did not give ο-ClC6H4CH2CN. p-MeOC6H4CH2CN was obtained in 39% yield (yield of intermediate benzoate 74 and 92% in 2 experiments). Other methods were tried without much success. A mixture of ο- and p-BrC6H4CH2CO2H could not be separated by fractional distillation of the acid chlorides or Et esters; chromatog. separation of the anilides, p-toluidides, and 2-naphthalides was only partially successful (they fluoresce in C6H6 but not on the Al2O3 column). α-(ο-Bromophenyl)aceto-2-naphthalide, m. 188-9°; p-isomer, m. 203-4°. α-Phenylaceto-2-naphthalide m. 162-3°. In the preparation of the naphthalides by heating the acids with 2-C10H7NH2, (2-C10H7)2NH is obtained, the catalyst presumably being the halo acid. 2-C10H7NH2 and PhNH2 give 2-C10H7NHPh, and p-MeC6H4NH2 gives 2-C10H7NHC6H4Me-p, but ο- or m-ClC6H4NH2 gives only (2-C10H7)2NH. 2-C10H7NH2 and its derivatives are more strongly adsorbed than the corresponding 1-derivatives
