- Description: Some dihydrobenzo[4,5]imidazo[1,2-c]quinazolines have been synthesized from aldehydes and ketones, using the ketones as both reagents and solvents and tetrahydrofuran (THF) as the solvent for the aldehydes, to yield the triazatetracyclics. The compounds have been characterized with spectroscopy and microanalysis. The crystal structures of 9,9-dimethyl-8,10,17- triazatetracyclo[8.7.02,7.011,16]heptadeca-1(17),2,4,6,11(16),12,14-heptaene (I), 9-butyl-9-methyl-8,10,17-triazatetracyclo[8.7.0.02 , 7 .011,16]heptadeca-(17),2,4,6,11(16),12,14-heptaene (III) and 9-phenyl-8,10,17-triazatetracyclo[8.7.0 02 7.011,16] heptadeca-1(17),2,4,6,11(16),12,14-heptaene (VIII) have been discussed. The computed NMR, IR, molecular electrostatic potential and frontier molecular orbitals of compounds I, III and VIII have been discussed. The M06 functional gave most of its values closest to the experimental values for the bond lengths and bond angles of compounds I and III. For compound VIII, none of the functionals gave values for bond lengths and bond angles that were consistent with the experimental values, but M06 gave values closest to experimental values. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity of the triazatetracyclics showed that compound I exhibits signifcant DPPH scavenging activity with an IC50 of 56.18 µM compared to 2.37 µM for ascorbic acid.

- Description: Thiazoles have shown a broad range of biological activities and are found in many potent biologically active molecules such as Sulfathiazol (antimicrobial drug), Ritonavir (antiretroviral drug), Abafungin (antifungal drug), and Tiazofurin (antineoplastic drug) [1]. They have exhibited some degree of plant growth regulatory and antifungal activities [2], whilst some thiazoles have shown anti-infective [3] as well as antibacterial activities [4]. The regio-controlled synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted and 2,4,5-trisubstituted thiazoles from ethyl-2-bromo-5-chloro-4-thiazolecarboxylates using sequential palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions has been reported [5]. An efficient general method for the preparation of 2,4-di- and trisubsituted thiazoles is via P–TsOH. H2O-Catalyzed cyclization of trisubstituted propargylic alcohols with thioamides has been accomplished with moderate to excellent product yields under mild and standard conditions [6]. In the presence of triethylamine, (Z)-(2-acetoxyl-1-alkenyl) phenyl-λ3 iodanes reacts with thioureas or thioamides in methanol to afford 2,4- disubstituted thiazoles in good yields. The reaction is thought to proceed by the generation of highly reactive α-λ3 iodanyl ketones through ester exchange of the β-acetoxy group with liberation of methyl acetate, followed by nucleophilic substitutions with thioureas or thioamides [7].

- Description: Herein, we propose novel quinolones incorporating an INH moiety as potential drug templates against TB. The quinolone-based compounds bearing an INH moiety attached via a hydrazide–hydrazone bond were synthesised and evaluated against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv (MTB). The compounds were also evaluated for cytotoxicity against HeLa cell lines. These compounds showed significant activity (MIC90) against MTB in the range of 0.2–8 μM without any cytotoxic effects. Compounds 10 (MIC90; 0.9 μM), 11 (MIC90; 0.2 μM), 12 (MIC90; 0.8 μM) and compound 15 (MIC90; 0.8 μM), the most active compounds in this series, demonstrate activities on par with INH and superior to those reported for the fluoroquinolones. The SAR analysis suggests that the nature of substituents at positions −1 and −3 of the quinolone nucleus influences anti-MTB activity. Aqueous solubility evaluation and in vitro metabolic stability of compound 12 highlights favourable drug-like properties for this compound class.

- Description: A base-catalyzed conversion of aldehydes to benzimidazoles has been achieved. The compounds have been characterized by IR, NMR, micoranalysis, and GC-MS. The reaction for the formation of benzimidazoles has been monitored with 1 H NMR and IR. The crystal structures of two derivatives, 2-(2- chlorophenyl)-1H-benzimidazole and 2-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-4-nitrophenol, are presented. A study of the DPPH scavenging activity of these compounds showed that 2-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)phenol (2), 2-p-tolyl-1Hbenzimidazole (3) and 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-benzimidazole (7) gave IC50 values 1974, 773 and 800 µM.

- Description: A reaction of an acid chloride with a diamine yielded a diamide. m-Toluic acid was chlorinated to m-toluoyl chloride and subsequently reacted with 4-methyl-o-phenylenediamine in pyridine to obtain 3-methyl-N-[2-(3-methylbenzamido)phenylbenzamide (I). 2-(3-Methylphenyl)-1H-benzimidazole (II) has been obtained upon reacting o-phenylenediamine with m-toluic acid in polyphosphoric acid and toluene. The compounds have been characterized by IR, NMR, microanalyses and GC-MS. The crystal structures of the compounds have been discussed. DFT calculations of the frontier orbitals of the precursor compounds have been carried out to ascertain the groups that contribute to the HOMO and LUMO, and to study their contribution to the reactivity in the formation of the diamides and benzimidazoles. The synthesis of the amide from a diamine was seen to be favoured in the presence of a good leaving group attached to the carbonyl as in the case of acid chloride. However, the synthesis of benzimidazoles was found to be favoured in the presence of an excess of a protonating agent and high temperature.

- Description: The reaction of benzoyl isothiocyanate with L-serine, L-proline, D-methionine and L-alanine gave 2-[(benzoylcarbamothioyl)amino]-3-hydroxypropanoic acid (I), 1-(benzoylcarbamothioyl)pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid (II), 2-[(benzoylcarbamothioyl)amino]-4-(methylsulfanyl)butanoic acid (III) and 2-[(benzoylcarbamothioyl)amino]propanoic acid (IV), respectively. The compounds have been characterized by IR, NMR, microanalyses and mass spectrometry. The crystal structures of all the compounds have also been discussed. Compound II showed rotamers in solution. DFT calculations of the frontier orbitals of the compounds have been carried out to ascertain the groups that contribute to the HOMO and LUMO, and to study their contribution to the reactivity of these compounds. The calculations indicated that the carboxylic acid group in these compounds is unreactive hence making the conversion to benzimidazoles via cyclization on the carboxylic acids impractical. This has been further confirmed by the reaction of compounds I–IV, respectively, with o-phenylene diamine which was unsuccessful but gave compound V.

- Description: In an attempt to synthesize a 2-substituted benzimidazole from the reaction of o-phenylenediamine and isophthalic acid in the presence of acetone and ethanol under microwave irradiation, a salt of the isophthalate ion and 2,2,4-trimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-5-ium ion was obtained. The condensation of two moles of acetone with the amine groups resulted in the formation of the benzodiazepine which crystallized as an iminium cation forming a salt with the isophthalate anion. The formation of benzodiazepine was also confirmed by performing the reaction of o-phenylenediamine with excess acetone in ethanol under conventional heating conditions. The compounds were characterized by NMR, FTIR, HRMS and microanalysis as well as X-ray crystallography. The reaction mechanism leading to the formation of benzodiazepine is also discussed.
