NOFAL1; HODA H. FAHMY1; EMAN S. ZAREA1 and WAFAA EL-ERAKY2 1Department of Therapeutical Chemistry, 2Department of Pharmacology, National Research Centre, Dokki, Cairo12311, Egypt Abstract: 5-Formyl-6-aminopyrimidine-2,4-(1H, 3H)-dione (2) has been previously prepared from compound 1. Cyclocondensation reaction of compound 2 with cyanoacetamide gave substituted pyridopyrimidine 3. Also, compound 2 was condensed with p-amino acetophenone and hydrazine derivatives to give 5-{[(4- acetylphenyl)imino]methyl}-6-aminopyrimidine (4) and 5-substituted carboaldehyde-6-amino pyrimidine derivatives (5a-d), respectively. Moreover, cyclocondensation reaction of compound 2 with thiosemcarbazide and semicarbazide hydrochloride gave 5-(5-thioxo or oxo-triazol-3-yl)-6-amino pyrimidine (6) and (7), respec- tively. Cyclocondensation reaction of compound 2 with thiourea and ethyl acetoacetate led to the formation of substituted ethyl bipyrimidine-5-carboxylate 8. Also, compound 2 was reacted with acetoacetic acid hydrazide and 2-cyanoacetohydrazide to give 5-(acetylpyrazol-6-aminopyrimidine 9 and 3-(6-aminopyrimidine-5-yl) pyrazole-4-carboxamide 10, respectively. Furthermore, compound 1 was diazotized to afford the diazonium salt 11. Its coupling with ethyl acetoacetate, ethyl cyanoacetate, acetylacetone, malononitrile, cyanoacetamide, diethylmalonate, in sodium acetate buffered solution afforded substituted hydrazonopyrimidines: ethylhydra- zono-3-oxobutanoate 12, ethylhydrazono-3-oxopropanoate 13, pentane-2,3,4-trione hydrazone 14, cyanohy- drazonoacetamide 15, diazenyl malonamide 16 and diethylhydrazonomalonate 17, respectively. Moreover, sub- stituted pyrazolediazenylpyrimidine derivatives 18a,b, 19a,b, 20, 21a-c, 22 were synthesized by the cyclization of substituted hydrazonopyrimidines 12, 17, 15, 14 and 13, respectively. The analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities of some of the synthesized compounds were evaluated. Compounds C18a, C20, C21b and C22 showed the most significant analgesic effects among synthesized moieties. All tested compounds, nonetheless, C18b showed significant anti-inflammatory effect in carrageenan induced paw edema model.

Incorporation of 13C and 15N in these systems at any position and combination of positions has become accessible. Also mild alkylations of active methylene compounds with α-halo carbonyl compounds open up many 3-pyrrolin-2- ones and pyrrole systems based on stable isotope building blocks that have been published. This gives the access to a whole new library of stable isotope enriched pyrroles in any stable isotope enriched form. This is also the case for biliverdin IXα which after enzymatic treatment has been converted into (2R)-phytochromobilin that reacts with its apoprotein to form intact active phytochrome.

  • Ethyl Acetoacetate (Acetoacetic Ester) (B) Diethyl Molonote (Molonic Ester) the Structure of (A) and (B) Are As
    PRESENTATION OF ENOLATES Dr. Susmita Bajpai Department of Chemistry B.N.D. College, Kanpur ENOLATES The class of compounds which contain a methylene group (–CH2–) directly bonded to the electron withdrawing groups such as –COCH3, –COOC2H5, –CN, are called active methylene compounds. This is so because the –CH2 group in them is acidic and reactive. The two examples are (a) Ethyl acetoacetate (Acetoacetic ester) (b) Diethyl molonote (Molonic ester) The structure of (a) and (b) are as This reaction is known as claisen condensation Ethyl acetoacetate (CH3COOCH2COOC2H5) • It's IUPAC name is ethyl 3-oxobutanoate • Preparation: Ethyl acetoacetate is prepared by heating ethyl acetate with sodium ethoxide in ethanol, followed by acidification. Claisen condensation • It is a condensation reaction in which, two ester molecules condensed to form an alcohol and a b-Keto ester. Therefore ethyl acetoacetate is a b-Keto ester. • Mechanism: The mechanism involves three steps: + • Step-I :- First sodium ethoxide (C2H5O–Na ) breaks into ethoxide ion and sodium ion. This ethoxide ion attacks ethyl acetoacetate to give ethyl alcohol and ester anion. Step -II: Ester anion attacks the carbonyl group of a second molecules of ethyl acetate. • Step-III: Ethoxide ion is eliminated Properties • It is a colourless pleasant smelling liquid • b.p. - 180.4oC • It is sparingly soluble in water but freely so in organic solvent. • It is neutral to litmus. Chemical properties • It is a tautomeric mixture of Keto and enol forms. Therefore it gives the reaction of the various functional groups present in the two forms. Acidity of methylene hydrogen (Formation of salt) • In ethyl acetoacetate methylene group (–CH2–) flank by two carbonyl group.

  • Route of Knoevenagel Reaction from Conventional Method to Greener Methods
    IOSR Journal of Environmental Science, Toxicology and Food Technology (IOSR-JESTFT) e-ISSN: 2319-2402,p- ISSN: 2319-2399.Volume 9, Issue 12 Ver. I (Dec. 2015), PP 52-55 www.iosrjournals.org Route of Knoevenagel Reaction from Conventional method to Greener methods Dr. Leena H. Sarkar Department of Chemistry, J.V.M’s Degree College, Airoli, Navi Mumbai 400 708, India. Abstract: In the past few years, classic methods of synthesis have been replaced by newer methods of synthesis involving principles of Green Chemistry given by Anastas and Warner leading to environmentally safer products and processes and reducing pollution and thus making the environment greener. In this review article I have compared old classical method of Knoevenagel reaction with greener methods for a more sustainable, pollution free future society. Key Words: Green chemistry, Knoevenagel reaction, solvent free reactions, sustainable chemistry, use of ultrasound radiations, catalysis, microwave chemistry and use of ionic liquids. I. Introduction The Knoevenagel [1] reaction is considered to be a modification of the aldol reaction [2]. It is named after Emil Knoevenagel. It is a condensation reaction of aldehydes or ketones 1 with active methylene compounds 2 in presence of base like ammonia or another amine or piperidine as a catalyst in organic solvents to yield α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds 3 (Fig. 1) which serve as intermediates in various reactions and compounds of medicinal interest [3-7]. Group attached to methylene group must be powerful enough to facilitate deprotonation to form enolate ion, even with a mild base. Fig. 1: Conventional method of Knoevenagel synthesis II.

  • Determination of Solvent Effects on Ketoðenol Equilibria of 1,3-Dicarbonyl Compounds Using NMR: Revisiting a Classic Physical C
    In the Laboratory Determination of Solvent Effects on Keto–Enol Equilibria W of 1,3-Dicarbonyl Compounds Using NMR Revisiting a Classic Physical Chemistry Experiment Gilbert Cook* and Paul M. Feltman Department of Chemistry, Valparaiso University, Valparaiso, IN 46383; *[email protected] “The influence of solvents on chemical equilibria was discovered in 1896, simultaneously with the discovery of keto–enol tautomerism in 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds” (1). The solvents were divided into two groups according to their ability to isomerize compounds. The study of the keto–enol tautomerism of β-diketones and β-ketoesters in a variety of solvents using proton NMR has been utilized as a physical Figure 1. The β-dicarbonyl compounds studied in the experiment. chemistry experiment for many years (2, 3). The first reported use of NMR keto–enol equilibria determination was by Reeves (4). This technique has been described in detail in an experiment by Garland, Nibler, and Shoemaker (2). panded (i) to give an in-depth analysis of factors influencing The most commonly used β-diketone for these experi- solvent effects in tautomeric equilibria and (ii) to illustrate ments is acetylacetone (Scheme I).
