Three new series of quinazolinone derivatives containing amide, urea, and sulfonamide were synthesized through multistep synthesis. The required intermediates 4‐[(4′‐oxo‐2,3,3′,4′,5,6‐hexahydro‐1′H‐spiro[pyran‐4,2′‐quinazolin]‐1′‐yl)methyl]benzoic acid 4 and 1′‐(3‐aminobenzyl)‐2,3,5,6‐tetrahydro‐1′H‐spiro[pyran‐4,2′‐quinazolin]‐4′(3′H)‐one 8 were prepared by hydrolysis of ester and reduction of nitro intermediates. Three different series of compounds were synthesized from these two scaffolds. The key scaffolds 4 and 8 were successfully converted to target molecules via amides 5a–k, urea 9a–f, and substituted sulfonamides 10a–e. The chemical structures of newly synthesized compounds were characterized by spectral analysis. The structure of 5d was confirmed by X‐ray crystallography study. These newly synthesized compounds were screened for antibacterial studies against Staphylococcus epidermidis, Salmonella typhi, Proteus mirabilis, and Shigella sonnei and for the antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans. Among all the compounds, 9b–d showed excellent activities against S. typhi. Compound 9a showed moderate activity against all fungi stains, and 5I showed moderate activity against P. mirabilis, while the other derivatives showed fairly good activities.
A new protocol is reported for the synthesis of a heterogeneous palladium nanocomposite stabilized with a terephthalic acid-derived ligand (N,N-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)terephthalohydrazide). This is a highly insoluble ligand in common organic solvents, except dimethylformamide and dimethylsulfoxide. The resulting palladium nanocomposite acts as an efficient catalyst precursor for Mizoroki-Heck coupling reactions conducted under various reaction conditions. The spectral data suggest that the rate, yield and recycling of the catalyst are more effective for C-C coupling reactions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
