Schiff's bases constitute a class of pharmaceutical and medicinally important molecules. The conventional methods for the synthesis of Schiff's bases require long reaction times and use of organic solvents. We report a novel and eco-friendly condensation reaction method permitting the ''green synthesis'' of various Schiff's bases by stirring 1,2-diaminobenzene with various aromatic aldehydes in water as solvent. This method is experimentally simple, clean, high yielding, green, and with reduced reaction times. The product is purified by simple filtration followed by washing with water and drying processes.

The bio-screening data, in vitro and in vivo anti-inflammatory activity and COX-2 enzymatic assay revealed that few N-substituteed aryl/heteroaryl-pyrazol-1-yl) benzene sulfonamides showed potent activity and compound 5e showed more potent COX-2 inhibit activity than that of parent drug, celecoxib and the standard, flufenamic acid. Moreover, all the newly synthesized title products were bonded well with good binding energies in the sight of COX-2 enzyme. Therefore, the described study might provide sustained information to the development of new series of derivatives with potent drug like activity.

A simple and efficient synthesis of various α-aminophosphonates (3a-l) by the reaction of substituted aromatic/heterocyclic aldehydes, 2-amino-6-methoxy-benzothiazole and dibutyl/diphenyl phosphites under microwave irradiation without catalyst was accomplished. The phosphonates were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1 H, 13 C-and 31 P-NMR spectra. They showed promising antimicrobial, anti-oxidant activities depending on the nature of bioactive groups at the α-carbon.

Background: Michaelis–Arbuzov reaction has played a key role for the synthesis of dialkyl or diaryl phosphonates by reacting various alkyl or aryl halides with trialkyl or triaryl phosphite. This reaction is very versatile in the formation of P-C bond from the reaction of aliphatic halides with phosphinites or phosphites to yield phosphonates, phosphinates, phosphine oxides. The Arbuzov reaction developed some methodologies, possible mechanistic pathways, selectivity, potential applications and biologically active various phosphonates. Objective: The synthesis of phosphonates via Michaelis–Arbuzov reaction with many new and fascinating methodologies were developed and disclosed in the literature, and these are explored in this review. Conclusion: This review has discussed past developments and vast potential applications of Arbuzov reaction in the synthesis of organophosphonates. As presented in this review, various synthetic methodologies were developed to prepare a large variety of phosphonates. Improvements in the reaction conditions of Lewis-acid mediated Arbuzov rearrangement as well as the development of MW-assisted Arbuzov rearrangement were discussed. Finally, to achieve high selectivities and yields, fine-tuning of reaction conditions including solvent type, temperature, and optimal reaction times to be considered.

Synthesis of a new series of sulfonamide and carbamate derivatives of 7-azaindole and evaluation of their anti-TMV and anti-oxidant activities are reported.Their chemical structures were characterized by IR, 1 H and 13 C NMR, mass and HRMS spectral analysis. The biological assay revealed that the compounds 4-nitrophenyl 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-1-carboxylate (9g) and 4-nitrobenzyl 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-b]pyridine-1-carboxylate (9h) exhibited high inhibition against tobacco mosaic virus and abstraction of free radicals.
