The Fries rearrangement of 3-chlorophenyl acetate provided the expected 4-chloro-2-hydroxy-acetophenone as the major product and 2,4-diacetyl resorcinol and 2-chloro-4-hydroxy-acetophenone as minor products. 4-Benzyloxy-2-chloroacetophenone was prepared by a Heck reaction and then elaborated to ...

A series of novel 3,5-diaryl-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines as tubulin polymerization inhibitors targeting the colchicine site were designed via ring tethering strategy, which was supported by conformational analysis. The general, chemically unstable and rotational linker, carbanyl group, was locke...

A convenient route to novel 3-iodo-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines via iododediazonation of 3-amino-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines, which are obtained by copper-catalysed cyclisation of 2-chloro-3-cyanopyridine with hydrazines. We describe also efficient coupling reactions from 3-iodo derivatives with ...

2-(piperazin-1-yl)N-(1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-3-yl)acetamides are described as a new class of selective and potent acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors and amyloid β aggregation inhibitors. Formation of synthesized compounds (P1P9) was justified via H1 NMR, C13 NMR, mass spectra and single c...

In the context of the preparation of camptothecin and luotonin A analogs, the synthesis of some key keto-precursors and their use in Friedländer condensation are described. This paper also focuses on the stability of these keto intermediates and emphasizes the major differences between indolizin...

In the context of formation of camptothecins substituted by a carbonyl function on position 5 of cycle C, synthesis of a new keto tetrahydroindolizine was realized. This compound was obtained from the reaction of Bredereck's reagent with an indolizine derived from pyroglutamic acid. That yi...

In the context of formation of new aza analogs of camptothecin, nitration then reduction of condensed pyridones was realized, leading to new derivatives of pyrrolo-aza-indoles. Treatment of these compounds with hydrobromic acid led to new structure rearrangements while oxidation of the α-positi...

A new material (AlgOx–TSC), based on alginate (Alg) chemically modified with thiosemicarbazide (TSC), has been synthesized and tested as an effective biomaterial to remove Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions in aqueous solutions. The synthesis was carried out by controlling the following steps, i/partial ox...

1-Benzoyl-4-phenyl-3-thiosemicarbazide (H3bpt) was treated with acid - base in one sequence and base – acid in other sequence, both of which lead to ring formation of thiosemicarbazide group, giving N-phenyl-5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine (Hppta) in the first case and 4,5-diphenyl-2,4-dihydr...

A series of novel benzofuran-isatin-hydroxylimine/thiosemicarbazide hybrids were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro anti-TB activities against drug-sensitive MTB H37Rv and MDR-TB isolates as well as cytotoxicity. All benzofuran-isatin-hydroxylimine/thiosemicarbazide hybrids e...

Mannich bases and thiosemicarbazide individually show antimicrobial, antifungal, anticonvulsant, antimalarial, analgesic and anti-inflammatory type of varied pharmacological activities. The novelty of the present work is the synthesis of mannich bases of thiosemicarbazide as mutual prodrugs. In ...

Thiosemicarbazide modified chitosan, TSFCS, was prepared and characterized by FTIR, SEM and TGA techniques and its application as a novel adsorbent for the removal of Pb(II) and methyl red (MR) was investigated. The effect of some adsorption parameters such as pH, TSFCS dosage and initial concen...

Reinvestigation of the growth of thiosemicarbazide potassium chloride crystal (1) (Chandrasekaran et al. [1]) and thiosemicarbazide lithium chloride crystal (2) (Maadeswaran et al. [2]), unambiguously confirms that compounds 1 and 2 are pure thiosemicarbazide and do not contain any alkali metal ...

The authors of a recent paper (Optik 125 (2014) 2022–2025) claim to have grown a so called thiosemicarbazide lead nitrate (TSLN) crystal by the slow evaporation method. In this comment we prove that TSLN is actually thiosemicarbazide.

A new series of thiosemicarbazide-1,2,3-triazole hybrids 10a-o has been synthesized, characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and screened for their in vitro α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. All of the synthesized compounds displayed excellent α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 values in t...

Lithio iodomethyl phenyl sulfoxides reacted with alkyl halides and carbonyl compounds to give adducts in good to moderate yields. Solvolysis of the carbonyl adducts led to sulfones or the ring expanded product.

Iodine–magnesium exchange occurs upon treatment of 3-iodomethyl-1-oxacyclopentanes with alkyl Grignard reagents or trialkylmagnesate. The resulting organomagnesium compounds undergo intramolecular nucleophilic substitution in ether to afford cyclopropane skeletons in a stereoselective manner.

The regioselective ortho-methylation of phenols by in situ generated ethyl(iodomethyl)zinc via an internal alkylation process is described.

p-(Iodomethyl)styrene was polymerized under the action of a radical initiator (AIBN). The polymerization proceeds with degenerative chain transfer and leads to well defined branched polymers with functional primary and secondary iodomethyl groups as revealed by NMR studies. The obtained polymer ...
