4-Chloro-3,5-dioxaphosphacyclohepta[2,1-;3,4-']dinaphthalene (BINOL- PCl) as a Bulky and Efficient Reagent for the Transformation of Symmetric and Asymmetric Benzoins to Corresponding Benziles

Abstract 4-Chloro-3,5-dioxaphosphacyclohepta[2,1-;3,4-']dinaphthalene (BINOL-PCl) was found to be an efficient, bulky and selective reagent for the transformation of symmetric and asymmetric benzoins to the corresponding benziles at 0 °C to room temperature under nitrogen atmosphere in good yield

Novel functionalized monomers based on kojic acid: snythesis, characterization, polymerization and evalution of antimicrobial activity

Two novel acrylate monomers, [5-(benzyloxy)-4-oxo-4H-pyran-2-yl]methyl acrylate and {1-[(5-(benzyloxy)-4-oxo-4H-pyran-2-yl)methyl]-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl}methyl acrylate were synthesized by the reaction of 5-benzyloxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)-4H-pyran-4-one and 5-(benzyloxy)-2-{[4-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl]methyl}-4H-pyran-4-one with acryloyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine, respectively. These monomers were polymerized using 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator in N,N-dimethylformamide:14-dioxane (10:1) solution. The thermal behavior of the polymers was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activites aganist bacteria and fungi using the disk diffusion method. The results indicated that some of these compounds demonstrated moderate to good antibacterial and antifungal activities

Synthesis and calcium channel antagonist activity of novel 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives possessing 4-pyrone moieties

New 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives were synthesized by introducing 4-pyrone ring systems at the 4-position of the dihydropyridine nucleus. These compounds were obtained according to Hantzsch reaction. 4-Pyrone carbaldehydes: 4-(4-oxo-6-phenyl-4H-pyran-2-yl)benzaldehyde 4a, 4-(6-methyl-4-oxo-4H-pyran-2-yl)benzaldehyde 4b, 4-oxo-6-phenyl-4H-pyran-2-carbaldehyde 7a, and 6-methyl-4-oxo-4H-pyran-2-carbaldehyde 7b were synthesized and used in these reactions. Then, the calcium channel blocking activity of some of these compounds were evaluated in which they showed weak effects
