1-(benzyloxy)-1-oxopropan-2-aminium 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (BOPAMS) and 4-(benzyloxy)-4-oxobutan-1aminium 4-methylbenzenesulfonate (BOBAMS) were prepared and confirmed through spectroscopic methods (FT-Infrared, Carbon 13-NMR and Proton-NMR). BOPAMS and BOBAMS were evaluated as unharmful inhibitors for aluminium corrosion. The anti-corrosive properties, inhibition mechanism, inhibitor-metal adsorption behaviour and corrosion inhibition efficiency were evaluated by employing approaches like gravimetric, potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). FT-IR demonstrated functional groups that are responsible for the binding of BOPAMS and BOBAMS with surfaces of aluminium. BOPAMS and BOBAMS resemble a semi-chemisorption/physisorption mechanism, obeying Langmuir binding model. The mechanism of binding adopted by BOPAMS and BOBAMS was proposed.

Compounds containing the 1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-dione scaffold are gaining increasing scientific interest as potential interventional agents for a variety of disease states. A four-step synthesis of ethyl-(2-(5-arylidine-2,4dioxothiazolidin-3-yl)acetyl)glycinates, alaninates, butanoates, valinates and norvalinates is described. The synthesis began by converting 1,3-thiazolidine-2,4-dione into its potassium salt, which was treated with ethyl (2-chloroacetamido)glycinates, alaninates, butanoates, valinates and norvalinates, respectively, to obtain the penultimate products. These products were then subjected to a Knoevenagel condensation reaction with different aldehydes to obtain the desired products in low to excellent yields.

The aim of our study was to synthesize novel chromone-3-carboxamides and to conduct biological evaluations in search for lead compounds for the treatment of a range of debilitating disease states. Corresponding 2hydroxyacetophenones were subjected to Vilsmeier-Haack formylation to give chromone-3-carbaldehydes, which were subsequently oxidised to give chromone-3-carboxylic acids. Treatment of the carboxylic acids with thionyl chloride resulted in the in situ formation of the corresponding acid chlorides, which were reacted with various amines in the presence of triethylamine to give the corresponding novel chromone-3-carboxamides in good yields. Selected chromone derivatives were then evaluated for their anti-inflammatory, antitryponosomal and cytotoxic properties.
