The protocol for the reaction of 2-nitrophenyl azide with 2-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)acetonitrile has been selected. It was found that an optimal condition under which the target 4-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-1-(2-nitrophenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-5-amine could be formed in good yield is the triethylamine system as a base in the DMF solution. The synthesized triazole is promising both for the evaluation of its antiproliferative properties and for the study of the path to new ring annulation by transforming nitro and amino groups.

Synthesis of the first representative of a 5-formyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acids series – 1-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-5-formyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acid was performed. The 1-azido-4-ethoxybenzene was chosen as a starting reagent in a two-step synthesis, which reacted with the ethyl 4,4-diethoxy-3-oxobutanoate under base catalysis to form ethyl 5-(diethoxymethyl)-1-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate with protected formyl and acid groups. By the subsequent saponification of the ester group and removing of acetal protection, the target 1-(4-ethoxyphenyl)-5-formyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acid was obtained. It has been found that the free acid form predominated in the solution under its cyclic 6-hydroxy-1,6-dihydro-4H-furo[3,4-d][1,2,3]triazol-4-one tautomer. According to 1H NMR, cyclic hemiacetal is about 20%.

Synthesis of a double-charged cationic amphiphilic 1,4-dihydropyridine derivative with dodecyl ester groups at positions 3 and 5 of the 1,4-DHP ring was performed starting from Hantzsch type cyclization of dodecyl acetoacetate, 2-naphthaldehyde and ammonium acetate. Bromination of this compound followed by nucleophilic substitution of bromine with (E)-4-(2-(naphthalen-2-yl)vinyl)pyridine gave the desired cationic amphiphilic 1,1′-{[3,5-bis(dodecyloxycarbonyl)-4-(naphthalen-2-yl)-1,4-dihydropyridine-2,6-diyl]bis(methylene)}bis{4-[(E)-2-(naphthalen-2-yl)vinyl]pyridin-1-ium}dibromide. The obtained target compound was fully characterized by IR, UV, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, HRMS and microanalysis. The characterization of the cationic 1,4-DHP nanoparticles in an aqueous solution was performed by DLS measurements. The obtained results showed that the compound formed nanoparticles with an average diameter of around 300 nm, a PDI value of around 490 and a zeta-potential of around 20 mV for freshly prepared samples. However, after one week of storage at room temperature, an aggregation of nanoparticles was detected.

The development of new techniques for the preparation of organic compounds is important, with catalytic processes being key to this innovation. The development of copper-based metal-organic frameworks to promote oxidative couplings has allowed the synthesis of amides in a very effective manner. This methodology has been successfully applied to the unique preparation of the bioactive compound N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide, with excellent performance (>99% conversion and 95% yield of pure isolated product) on a preparative scale. The described procedure can be classified as an excellent synthesis (EcoScale) considering environmental and economic factors based on different “green metrics” (atom economy, reaction mass efficiency, materials recovery factor, stoichiometric factor, E-factor).

The reactions, which cleanly proceed in water under MW irradiation, involve the initial generation of the corresponding enals by Meyer-Schuster rearrangement of the alkynols and their subsequent Knoevenagel condensation with the 2-thiobarbituric acid derivative. By following the same approach, the novel butadiene 5-(3,3-bi([1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)allylidene)-1,3-diethyl-2-thioxodihydropyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H)-dione, which was characterized by 1H and 13C{1H} NMR, IR, UV-Vis, elemental analysis and HRMS, was synthesized in 79% yield.

(E)-3-Methyl-2-(4-thiomorpholinostyryl)benzo[d]thiazol-3-ium iodide 1 was prepared by a convenient and reliable reaction procedure. The slight molar excess of the starting benzaldehyde and the mixture of ethanol: ethyl acetate in the ratio 3:1 as a solvent afforded a pure reaction product. The photophysical properties of the dye in a TE buffer in the absence and presence of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) were elucidated. The low intrinsic fluorescence of 1 in TE buffer is followed by an increase in the fluorescence after dsDNA binding. The dye is nontoxic for stem cells from apical papilla and the most concentrated fluorescence is detected in the cell nucleoli.

The molecular structure of an iridium complex featuring a phenylphosphine ligand is described. The reaction of (POCOP)IrHCl (1, POCOP = 2,6-(tBu2PO)2C6H3–) with phenylphosphine gives (POCOP)IrHCl(PH2Ph) (2) under mild conditions. The structural features are consistent with a classic pseudo-octahedral iridium compound with three neutral phosphine donors. Compound 1 is unreactive at elevated temperatures and is unreactive toward excess phenylphosphine under the sampled conditions.

The 1,2,3-Triazole derivatives containing the sulfonyl group have proved their biological importance in medicinal chemistry and drug design. In this sense, we describe the regioselective synthesis of 2-(phenylsulfonyl)-2H-1,2,3-triazole 3 in good yield through a classical sulfonamidation reaction of 1H-1,2,3-triazole 1 with benzenesulfonyl chloride 2 in dichloromethane using a slight excess of triethylamine at 20 °C for 3 h. This procedure is distinguished by its short reaction time, high yield, excellent regioselectivity, clean reaction profile, and operational simplicity. The sulfonamide 3 was characterized by high-resolution mass spectrometry, FT–IR, UV–Vis, 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The sulfonamide 3 exhibited moderate activity against UO-31 renal, SNB-75 central nervous system, HCT-116 colon, and BT-549 breast cancer cell lines, with growth inhibition percentages (GI%) ranging from 10.83% to 17.64%.

Its physicochemical parameters (Lipinski’s descriptors) were also calculated using the Molinspiration Cheminformatics software. The diarylquinoline molecule obtained is an interesting model with increased lipophilicity and thus permeability, an important descriptor for quinoline-based drug design.

In an attempt to develop new potent anti-inflammatory agents, a cinnamic -amino acid hybrid molecule was synthesized and in silico drug-likeness, in vitro COX-2 inhibition, and pharmacokinetic properties were studied. The results showed high cyclooxygenase inhibitory activity (IC50 = 6 µM) and favorable pharmacokinetic properties, being orally bioavailable according to Lipinski’s rule of five, making this compound a possible lead to design and develop potent COX inhibitors. The new compound, in comparison with its cinnamic acid precursor (E)-(3-(4-((4-bromobenzyl)oxy)phenyl)acrylic acid, showed improved biological activities. Compound ethyl (E)-(3-(4-((4-bromobenzyl)oxy)phenyl)acryloyl)glycinate can be used as a lead for the synthesis of more effective hybrids.
