We report a simple, fast, and eco-friendly solvent-free protocol for the synthesis of 2-aminothiazoles and 2-amino-1,3-selenazoles (16 examples) through Hantzsch condensation without the use of a catalyst. It is noteworthy that this type of procedure is unprecedented for the synthesis of 1,3-selenazoles. Reactions proceed to completion in a few seconds and products are obtained in moderate to excellent yields after easy workup. Moreover, the synthesis of 4-(2-amino-1,3selenazol-4-yl)benzonitrile hydrobromide is reported for the first time.
Quinolones and its derivatives comprise an important group of heterocyclic compounds that exhibit a wide range of pharmacological properties such as antibacterial, antitumor, antiviral, anti-ischemic, antiparasitic and anxiolytic. Persistent efforts have been made over the years to develop novel congeners with superior biological activities and minimal potential for undesirable side-effects. The present review aims to highlight some recent discoveries on the development of novel quinolone-based compounds with potential antitubercular and anticancer activity.
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.
