Abstract
Polymeric nickel complexes of salen ligands meet a wide range of applications in catalysis and electrochemistry. Because these polymers usually form very rigid films, the introduction of the conformationally flexible fragments in the corresponding monomers favors the amorphization and, thus, the mass transport.

Polymeric nickel complexes of salen ligands meet a wide range of applications in catalysis and electrochemistry. Because these polymers usually form very rigid films, the introduction of the conformationally flexible fragments in the corresponding monomers favors the amorphization and, thus, the mass transport. Herein we report a preparation of the hexyloxy-substituted monomeric NiSalen complex by the direct alkylation of the hydroxy-substituted complex. The resulting product was characterized by the 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), ESI-high resolution mass spectrometry (ESI-HRMS, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The crystal structure of the product was examined by an XRD, indicating the formation of the solvate with dichloromethane. The obtained product was found to be highly soluble in non-polar solvents, in contrast to typical NiSalens. Full article

The synthesis of a wide variety of 3-trifluoromethyl-5,6-dihydro-[1,2,4]triazolo pyrazine derivatives, by the treatment of 3-trifluoromethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-α]pyrazine hydrochloride with an array of isocyanates in the presence of triethylamine, is reported. All the target compounds were synthesized in excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. The target molecules were effectively screened for their anti-cancer properties and the results are promising. The resultant compounds were assessed for their antiproliferative action against two human colon cancer cell lines (HCT-116 and HT-29 colon cancer cell lines). The IC50 range was estimated at 6.587 to 11.10 µM showing that compound RB7 had remarkable anticancer movement on HT-29. Additionally, it was discovered that RB7 incited the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway by up-regulating Bax and down-regulating Bcl2, eventually leading to the activation of Caspase 3 in HT-29 cells and initiation of cell death via the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway.

The title compound contains a guanidinium cation that was unexpectedly found during X-ray single crystal analysis of a copper(I) cyanide network expected to contain protonated N,N’-dimethyl-1,3-diaminopropane. The cation was presumably formed by reaction of the amine with cyanide ions in the aqueous sodium cyanide/copper cyanide mixtures used in the synthesis. The structure of the network solid features the guanidinium cation as a guest in an anionic two-dimensional polymeric framework with stoichiometry Cu2(CN)3. Confirmation of the structure was provided by analytical, thermal gravimetric and infrared data. Full article

Sulfones are important building blocks in the construction of biologically active molecules or functional materials. The sulfonyl functional group in sulfones is so versatile that it can act as either a nucleophile, an electrophile, or a radical in different organic reactions. Recently, quinazoline sulfones have been used to build asymmetrical ether derivatives as inhibitors of signaling pathways governed by tyrosine kinases and the epidermal growth factor-receptor. In this paper, we report a facile synthesis of a novel quinazoline sulfone, 6-nitro-7-tosylquinazolin-4(3H)-one (III), using the modified protocol from 7-chloro-6-nitroquinazolin-4(3H)-one (I) and sodium p-toluenesulfinate (II). The structure of the title compound III was determined using mass-spectrometry, FT-IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, DEPT, HSQC (Heteronuclear single quantum coherence), HMBC (Heteronuclear Multiple Bond Correlation Spectroscopy) spectroscopies, and PXRD analysis.
