Zinc chloride catalyzed synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles under solvent free condition

Zinc chloride is an efficient and safe catalyst in the [3 ＋ 2] cycloaddition reaction of organic nitriles with sodium azide in solventless condition. The corresponding 5-substituted ^1H tetrazoles were obtained under mild conditions. This method can overcome disadvantages such as： the use of toxic metals and expensive reagents, drastic reaction conditions, water sensitivity and the presence of dangerous hydrazoic acid.

Synthesis and anti-HBV activity of novel 5-substituted pyridin-2(1H)-one derivatives

Four novel 5-substituted pyridine-2(1H)-one derivatives were designed and synthesized by using addition-elimination reactions.The structures of these novelly synthesized compounds were verified by ~1H NMR,ESI-MS and single crystal X-ray diffraction.Furthermore,all four compounds(most notably compound 7a) were found to be highly efficient against hepatitis B virus (HBV) in cultured HepG2 2.2.15 cell,making them promising drug candidates for potential bioactive molecule against hepatitis B.

Synthesis of 5-Substituted Hexahydro-1H-1, 4-Diazepine Analogues

5-Substituted hexahydro-1H-1,4-diazepine analogues were synthesized starting from N,N'-dibenzyl-1, 2-ethylenediamine and methyl 2, 4-dibromide butyrate through nucleophilic substitution, reduction, chlorination, debenzylation and amidation. Bioactivity tests showed that 9a had the highest agonist activity.

Glycerol mediated synthesis of 5-substituted lH-tetrazole under catalyst free conditions

We have developed simple,cost effective and environmentally benign protocol for the synthesis of 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles via[2,3]cycloaddition reaction from organic nitriles and sodium azide in glycerol under catalyst free condition.The corresponding 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles were obtained with good to excellent yields（68-95%）.

Cerium(Ⅳ)ammonium nitrate(CAN)-mediated regioselective synthesis and anticancer activity of 6-substituted 5,8-dimethoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone

6-Substituted 5,8-O-dimethyl-1,4-naphthoquinones（6-DMNQ）,the promising anticancer scaffolds,were selectively generated by oxidative demethylation of 2-substituted 1,4,5,8-tetramethoxynaphthalenes with CAN in EtOAc/H2O in comparatively high yields.An interesting finding was that apart from the reported electron-withdrawing effects of substituents on position 2 of naphthalene ring,regioselective synthesis of 6-DMNQ was largely dependent on the steric effects in CAN-mediated oxidation.The selective cytotoxicities of 6-DMNQ from the in vitro cell-based assays were exhibited between the cancer cells and normal cells.Moreover,most of sulfur-containing 6-DMNQ derivatives displayed better anticancer activities than the corresponding oxygen-containing ones,which could provide an available strategy for the design of 6-DMNQ derivatives as potential anticancer agents.

Study on the Biological Activity of 3-Aroyl-5-substituted Thiophene Derivatives Based on the CoMFA Method

A three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship(3 D-QSAR) study was conducted to analyze the A1 AR density(Bmax) of 56 3-aroyl-5-substituted thiophene derivatives(ASTDs) in human A1 Chinese hamster ovary(hA1 CHO) membranes by the comparative molecular field analysis(CoMFA) method. A training set of 45 compounds was used to establish the predictive model, which was verified by the test set of 17 compounds containing template molecule and 5 newly designed molecules. The cross-validation(R2 cv) and non-cross-validation(R2) coefficients of the training set were 0.655 and 0.959, respectively. The model was used to predict the activities of the compounds of the training and test sets, and the results indicated that the models had strong stability and good prediction ability. According to model analysis, the contribution of steric and electrostatic fields was 51.4% and 48.6%, respectively. Based on the 3 D contour maps, five excellent ASTDs agonists were designed, which need to be further verified by biomedical experiments.

Solvent-free preparation of arylaminotetrazole derivatives using aluminum(Ⅲ) hydrogensulfate as an effective catalyst

An efficient and simple method for the preparation of 5-arylamino-1H-tetrazole and 1-aryl-5-amino-1H-tetrazole derivatives is reported using aluminum（Ⅲ） hydrogensulfate（Al（HSO4）3） as an effective heterogeneous catalyst from secondary arylcyanamides. Generally,when the substitution in arylcyanamide is strongly electron-withdrawing the position of equilibrium would shift toward the isomer of 1-aryl-5-amino-1H-tetrazole（B） and as the electron-donating of substituent increased,the position of equilibrium is shifted toward the isomer of 5-arylamino-1H-tetrazole（A）.The present methodology offers several advantages,such as excellent yields,short reaction times,easy work-up and greener conditions.

Design,synthesis and antimicrobial activities of 1,2,3-triazole derivatives

Fifteen 1-（4-substituted phenyl）-4-（4-bromophenyl）-5-（halo-o-hydroxyphenyl）imino-1,2,3-triazoles were designed and synthe- sized based on rational combination of 1,2,3-triazoles and （halo）o-hydroxyphenyl group according to the superposition principle of reinforcement of biological activities. All the compounds were tested to an in vitro antimicrobial screening against M.a. and E.c.. Compounds IIe-IIo exhibited more potent antimicrobial activities against M.a. and E.c. than triclosan and fluconazole, which provided valuable information to further study of novel antimicrobial research.

Porous coordination polymers based on three planar rigid ligands

During the last two decades,porous coordination polymers(PCPs),usually called as metal-organic frameworks(MOFs),have been developed rapidly due to their versatile structural diversities and potential physical and chemical functions.This article provides a short review of recent advances in the design and constructions of porous coordination polymers based on three planar rigid ligands,including imidazole-4,5-dicarboxlate(H3IDC),1H-tetrazole(HTz),as well as 1H-tetrazole-5-carboxylate(H2Tzc).Their preparations,crystal structures,and desirable properties have been reviewed.
