Cover Story (view full-size image): The novel visible-emitting fluorophore 2,7-bis(pyridin-3-ylethynyl)fluoren-9-one [(3-PyE)2FO] was successfully prepared via the Sonogashira coupling reaction and its full characterization is presented. The absorption and emission properties of (3-PyE)2FO were investigated both in solution and in solid states. The UV-Vis spectrum of (3-PyE)2FO in CHCl3 exhibited four maxima centered at 304, 339, 349 and 436 nm, respectively, and a strong photoluminescence emission was observed at 554 nm. Solid-state measurements showed broad absorption in the diffuse reflectance spectrum in the 200−500 nm range and a strong emission band of 553 nm, similar to that observed in solution. Further studies are ongoing in our laboratories to evaluate the potential use of (3-PyE)2FO as a building block for the formation of luminescent supramolecular assemblies. View this paper

Voriconazole (VN) is an antifungal drug indicated for the treatment of several fungal infections. Due to its side effects, some works involving late-stage functionalization of VN have been reported in the literature. Here, we disclose a new VN derivative, the 6-[(2S,3R)-3-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-4-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)butan-2-yl]-5-fluoropyrimidine-4-carbaldehyde (VN-CHO). This compound results from the photoredox-catalyzed hydroxymethylation of VN, affording a hydroxymethylated derivative (VN-CH2OH), followed by oxidation of the former CH2OH group. VN-CHO was obtained in good yield (70% yield) and its structure was unveiled by 1D (1H and 13C) and 2D (HSQC and HMBC) NMR techniques. The introduction of a formyl group in VN structure creates a very promising site for further functionalization in a molecule which originally does not have many active sites. Full article

After the decomplexation of the adduct, the isocyanide was engaged in a Ugi reaction. By such a complexation, reactions can be carried out on the CC triple bond without the constraint of the instability of the free compound or the competitive reactivity of the isocyanide group.

The synthesis of the title compounds was performed from (-)-cis-myrtanic and (-)-myrtenic acids. The compounds obtained were characterized using 1H- and 13C-NMR, IR, and high-resolution mass spectrometry. Despite the presence of quaternary ammonium moiety, both compounds had moderate antimicrobial activity with a MIC of 128 µg/mL on S. aureus and 512 µg/mL on E. coli. The antifungal activity was low on Candida isolates, while also comparable with conventional antimycotic (Fluconazole) on filamentous fungi. These data suggest that two bulky bicyclic terpene fragments apparently both increase lipophilicity and close the quaternary ammonium moiety located in the center of molecules and thus drastically decrease the antimicrobial potential of bipharmacophore.

The latter was prepared by the reduction of 2-methyl-8-nitro-4H-chromeno[3,4-d]oxazol-4-one with Pd/C in a hydrogen atmosphere. The above nitro compound was synthesized by the condensation of N-(4-hydroxy-6-nitro-2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)acetamide with P2O5 under microwave irradiation. The above acetamide derivative was prepared during the nitration of 2-methyl-4H-chromeno[3,4-d]oxazol-4-one with H2SO4 and KNO3. The structure of the newly synthesized compounds was confirmed by FT-IR, LC-MS, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR analyses. Preliminary biological tests show significant anti-lipid peroxidation activity for the title compound and the other synthesized new intermediates, as well as interesting soybean lipoxygenase inhibition for acetamide 2 (IC50 55 μM) and nitro-compound 3 (IC50 27 μM).

In recent years, the application of privileged structures has become a powerful approach in the discovery of new biologically active molecules. Ion pairing is a strategy used to enhance the permeation of ionized topical drugs. A convenient and efficient method for the synthesis of triethylammonium 2-(3-hydroxy-2-oxoindolin-3-yl)-5,5-dimethyl-3-oxocyclohex-1-en-1-olate has been developed. The presented protocol includes an aldol reaction and the formation of an ammonium salt. Triethylamine is both a reactant and a catalyst in the process. The structure of the synthesized title compound has been established by 1H, 13C-NMR and IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. Full article

Thiazolopyrimidines are attractive to medical chemists as new antitumor agents due to their high inhibitory activity against the replication process of tumor cells and the easy modification of their structure by changing the number and nature of substituents. The presence of asymmetric C5 carbon atoms requires the development of racemic mixture separation procedures for these heterocycles. One of the most effective methods is the crystallization of a racemic compound in the form of a conglomerate. The prerequisite for such separation is the construction of chiral, supramolecular ensembles in the crystalline state. Halogen-π interactions were chosen as supramolecular synthons. In this context, ethyl 7-methyl-3-oxo-2,3-dihidro-5H-thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidine-6-carboxylate containing a 4-bromophenyl fragment at C5 was synthesized. The crystal structure of the resulting compound was established using SCXRD. The role of the halogen-π interaction on the formation of one-dimensional homochiral chains is revealed. Full article

Urazolyl radicals are a class of persistent nitrogen-centered radicals. In a previous work, we successfully formed self-assembled monolayers of substituted urazolyl radicals on gold surfaces. To extend the scope of these investigations, we sought to form a self-assembled monolayer using a urazolyl radical species that we knew existed predominantly in the dimerized N-N form instead of existing predominantly as free N-centered radical species, as had previously been investigated. We successfully synthesized the precursor urazole compound needed to generate the desired urazolyl radical, and completely characterized its structure. Most importantly, it was determined that the alkyne functional group that is needed to adhere to the gold surface remained intact. Unfortunately, however, we only obtained ambiguous results from attempts at forming self-assembled monolayers of this species on gold. Full article
