Synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of two new coordination polymers with carboxylate-substituted benzoimidazole ligands

This paper reports two new coordination polymers formed by carboxylate-substituted benzoimidazole and formate ligands: [Mn(L)·(HCO2)]n (1) and [Co(L)·(HCO2)]n (2) (L = benzoimidazol-1-yl-acetate). Com-plexes 1 and 2 are isomorphous and adopt a new 3,6-connected three-nodal topology showing inter-esting magnetic properties: spin canted antiferromagnetism for MnⅡ complex 1, but simple antiferro-magnetic coupling for CoⅡ complex 2.

Simple and efficient protocol for the synthesis of benzoxazole,benzoimidazole and benzothiazole heterocycles using Fe(Ⅲ)–Schiff base/SBA-15 as a nanocatalyst

Benzimidazoles, benzoxazoles, and benzothiazoles derivatives were synthesized from condensation of aldehydes and 1,2-phenylenediamine or ortho-aminophenol or ortho-aminothiophenol in the presence of catalytic amount of Fe（Ⅲ）-Schiff base/SBA-15 in water medium. Short reaction times, good to excellent yields, easy availability, reusability, and use of an eco-friendly catalyst are some of the significant attributes of the present method.

Study on the Reaction of Benzimidazolium Salt with Amine Compounds

The addition-hydrolysis reaction of benzimidazolium salt with some mono- and bifunctional amine nucleophiles is reported, and a novel method of biomimetic synthesis for formamides and heterocycle compounds is provided.

Synthesis and evaluation of some new oxazolones and imidazolones as antioxidant additives for Egyptian lubricating oils

Oxazolone derivative 2 was utilized as a key intermediate for synthesis of some new oxazolone and imidazolone derivatives. Reaction of oxazolone derivative 2 with diamines under different conditions afforded the corresponding imidazolone derivatives 3-8, respectively. Moreover, oxazolone 2 reacted with some heterocyclic amines in glacial acetic acid giving the corresponding imidazolone derivatives 9-14, respectively. Cyclocondensation of thiosemicarbazide with compound 2 in dry pyridine afforded compound 15. Addition of secondary amines to olefin double bond of compound 2 gave the corresponding addition products 16-19, respectively. Michael addition of compound 2 with some active methylene compounds afforded oxazolone derivatives 20-23, respectively. These prepared products were evaluated as antioxidant and corrosion inhibitors for gasoline lubricating oil and compounds 6a-e, 10 and 15 exhibited the highest antioxidant and anticorrosive activities. The effect of concentration of additives was studied to recommend the optimum concentration to be used. The results showed, for additive 15, 0.1 g for 1 L oil was the more effective concentration. Measurements for thermal analysis and of surface tension of oil after oxidation were also carried out.

A highly sensitive colorimetric and ratiometric sensor for fluoride ion

A new benzoimidazole-naphthalimide derivative 4 was synthesized and its photophysical properties were studied. This compound showed highly selectively and sensitive colorimetric and ratiometric sensing ability for fluoride anion.

Efficient synthesis and in vitro antifungal activity of 1H-benzimidazol-l-yl acetates/propionates containing 1H-1,2,4-triazole moiety

A series of novel 1H-benzimidazol-1-yl acetates and 1H-benzimidazol-1-yl propionates containing 1H-1,2,4-triazole moiety were synthesized under microwave irradiation by multi-step reactions, in yields of 87-94%. Their in vitro antifungal activities against Botrytis cinerea and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum were evaluated by mycelial growth rate method. All the target compounds exhibit high activities against B. cinerea with the EC50 values of 7.96-21.74 μg/mL, higher than that of carbendazim.

N-Oxide heterocycles and imidazoles replacing ring D of calanolides against Mycobacterium tuberculosis

We have explored the chemistry of N-oxide heterocycles and imidazoles replacing ring D of the natural product（＋）-calanolide A, and have synthesized 12 new analogues, two of which were active against both R Mtb and NR Mtb with MIC values of 12.5 mg/m L, which would lead to further optimization for more potent anti-TB candidates.
