Į-ȕ-Unsaturated carbonyl compounds on condensation with o-phenylenediamine in the presence of catalyst sulfamic acid under solvent free conditions, resulted in the formation of corresponding benzo-[b]-1,4-diazepines in excellent yields.

A simple, rapid and precise method was developed for the quantitative estimation of prasugrel hydrochloride in pharmaceutical dosage form. A chromatographic separation of prasugrel and its degradants was achieved with Zorbax XDB C8, 150 × 4.6 mm, 3.5μm analytical column using aqueous solution of 0.05 M ammonium acetate pH 4.5 with acetic acid-acetonitrile (40:60 v/v). The instrumental settings include flow rate of 1.0 ml/min, column temperature at 30°C and detector wavelength of 254 nm using a photodiode array detector. Theoretical plates for prasugrel were 7023. Tailing factor for prasugrel was 1.11. Prasugrel was exposed to thermal, photolytic, hydrolytic and oxidative stress conditions, and the stressed samples were analyzed by the proposed method. Peak homogeneity data of prasugrel was obtained using photodiode array detector in the stressed sample chromatograms, which demonstrated the specificity of the method for the estimation in presence of degradants. The described method showed excellent linearity over a range of 10–300 μg/ml for prasugrel. The correlation coefficient is 0.999. The relative standard deviation of peak area for six measurements is always less than 2%. Overall, the proposed method was found to be suitable and accurate for quantitative determination and stability study of prasugrel in pharmaceutical dosage form.

We report the novel synthesis of azetidin-2-one derivatives containing aryl sulfonate moiety from the reaction of 2-hydroxy benzaldehyde with p-toluene sulfonyl chloride afforded firstly 2-formylphenyl 4-methylbenzene sulfonate (2). The compound (2) on reaction with p-aminobenzoic acid or 2-aminopyridine gave the corresponding aldimines (3). Furthermore, the aldimines are on reaction with chloroacetyl chloride gives corresponding azetidin-2-ones in good to moderate yield. Among the eight synthesized azetidin-2-ones, five selected compounds have been screened for the anti-inflammatory activity, few of them showed good anti-inflammatory activity compared with standard drugs. Antimicrobial activity of all synthesized compounds has been tested and most of the compounds showed good anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activities.
