Ethyl (Z)-2-chloro-2-(2-phenyl­hydrazin-1-yl­idene)acetate

The title compound, C10H11ClN2O2, features an almost planar Car—N(H)—N=C(Cl) unit [torsion angle = 0.8 (1)° whose phenyl substituent is almost coplanar with it [dihedral angle = 2.8 (2)°]; this unit is slightly twisted with respect to the carboxyl –CO2 fragment [dihedral angle = 10.3 (2)°]. In the crystal, the amino group acts as a hydrogen-bond donor to the carbonyl O atom of an adjacent molecule; the hydrogen bond generates a helical chain that runs along the b axis of the monoclinic unit cell.

Synthesis, Spectrofluorometric Studies, Micellization and non Linear Optical Properties of Blue Emitting Quinoline (AMQC) Dye.

Blue emitting 2-amino-4-(3, 4, 5-tri methoxyphenyl)-9-methoxy-5,6 dihydrobenzo[f]isoquinoline-1-carbonitrile (AMQC) dye was synthesized by one-pot multicomponent reactions (MCRs) of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyd, malononitrile, 6-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-naphthalin-1-one and ammonium acetate. Results obtained from spectroscopic and elemental analysis of synthesized AMQC was in good agreement with their chemical structures. Fluorescence polarity study demonstrated that AMQC was sensitive to the polarity of the microenvironment provided by different solvents. In addition, spectroscopic and physicochemical parameters, including electronic absorption, excitation coefficient, stokes shift, oscillator strength, transition dipole moment and fluorescence quantum yield were investigated in order to explore the analytical potential of AMQC. Dye undergoes solubilization in different micelles and may be used as a quencher and a probe to determine the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of SDS and CTAB. Nonlinear optical parameters of AMQC dye shows relatively lower nonlinear refractive index and nonlinear absorption coefficient at the power levels. Variation of n2 with concentration is linear in the concentration range used in the present study.

Microwave Assisted Synthesis, Spectrofluorometric Characterization of Azomethine as Intermediate for Transition Metal Complexes with Biological Application

Azomethine (1, 5 - Dimethyl - 2 - phenyl -[(3, 4, 5 -trimethoxybenzylidene) amino] -1, 2 - dihydropyrazol - 3 - one) (DTAD) was synthesized by the reaction of 4-aminophenazone with 3,4,5 trimrthoxybenzaldehyd by microwave irradiation. Physicochemical studies such as electronic absorption, molar absorptivity, oscillator strength, dipole moment, florescent quantum yield were investigated in order to explore the analytical potential of azomethine dye. Azomethine go through the solubilization in different micelles and may be used as a probe or quencher to determine the critical micelle concentration (CMC) of SDS and CTAB. It’s coordinate to metal salt through the pyrazol-3-one oxygen and the azomethine nitrogen. The structure of ligand and its meal complexes was elucidated by IR, 1H, 13C-NMR, EI-MS spectroscopic methods and elemental analysis. The antibacterial activity of these compounds were first tested in vitro by the disc diffusion assay against two Gram-positive and two Gram-negative bacteria, and then the minimum inhibitory concentration was using chloramphenicol as reference drug. The results showed that compound 1.1 is better inhibitor of both types of tested bacteria as compared to chloramphenicol.

Experimental and Theoretical Study of O-Substituent Effect on the Fluorescence of 8-Hydroxyquinoline

The synthesis and characterization of different ether and ester derivatives of 8-hydroxyquinoline have been made. UV-visible and fluorescence spectra of these compounds have revealed spectral dependence on both solvent and O-substituent. The fluorescence intensity of ether derivatives revealed higher intensity for 8-octyloxyquinoline compared with 8-methoxyquinoline, whereas those of ester derivatives had less fluorescence than 8-hydroxyquinoline. Theoretical calculations based on Time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) were carried out for the quinolin-8-yl benzoate (8-OateQ) compound to understand the effect of O-substituent on the electronic absorption of 8-hydroxyquinaline (8-HQ). The calculations revealed comparable results with those obtained from the experimental data. Optimized geometrical structure was calculated with DFT at B3LYP/6-311++G** level of theory. The results indicated that 8-OateQ is not a coplanar structure. The absorption spectra of the compound were computed in gas-phase and solvent using B3LYP and CAM-B3LYP methods with 6-311++G ** basis set. The agreement between calculated and experimental wavelengths was very good at CAM-B3LYP/6-311++G** level of theory.

The cyclohexene ring of each fused ring system has a screw-boat conformation. In the crystal, C—H⋯π interactions assemble molecules into a supramolecular array in the ab plane.

Physicochemical Investigation of HDDP Azomethine Dye as Turn-On Fluorescent Chemosensor for High Selectivity and Sensitivity of Al3+ Ions

Abstract4-[(2-Hydroxy-naphthalen-1-ylmethylene)-amino]-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-pyrazol-3-one (HDDP) was synthesized by the reaction of 4-amino-1,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,2-dihydro-3H-pyrazol-3-one with 2-hydroxy-l-naphthaldehyde. The structure was confirmed by the IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and EI-MS spectra and elemental analysis. Physicochemical parameters of the HDDP such as extinction coefficient, oscillator strength, transition dipole moment, Stokes shift, and fluorescence quantum yield in different solvents were studied on the basis of polarities. The interactions of various metal ions with HDDP were also studied using steady state fluorescence measurements. The emission profile reveals that it acts as off–on type fluorescent chemosensor for selective and sensitive detection of Al3+ ions. Complexation stoichiometry and mechanism of enhancement were determined from a Benesi–Hildebrand plot.

Hybrid compounds from chalcone and 1,2-benzothiazine pharmacophores as selective inhibitors of alkaline phosphatase isozymes

Chalcones and 1,2-benzothiazines are two important classes of bioactive compounds, each scaffold endowed with diverse pharmacological activities. Combining both of these pharmacophores in a single molecule was aimed to yield multi-modal agents. Herein, we report a series of hybrid compounds 3a-3o derived from chalcones and 1,2-benzothiazine cores. They were synthesized from commercially available sodium saccharin, and the resulting 1,2-benzothiazine-derived ketone was then condensed with aromatic aldehydes in an aldol condensation to obtain the respective chalcones. The compounds were characterized using different analytical techniques including FT-IR, NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and X-ray crystallography. Some synthesized chalcones revealed potent and/or selective inhibitory properties towards alkaline phosphatase isozymes transiently expressed in COS-7 cells. A detailed structure-activity and selectivity study was carried out with regard to the effect of different substituents at ortho-, meta- and para-positions of the phenyl residue. Compound 3c was the most effective human intestinal alkaline phosphatase (h-IAP) inhibitor (IC50 value of 1.04 μM), while it was not active against human tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (h-TNAP) isozyme. In contrast, 3i was a selective inhibitor of h-TNAP with IC50 values of 0.25 ± 0.01 μM. The possible binding interactions of the most effective inhibitors of h-TNAP and h-IAP were obtained from molecular docking studies.
