Single diastereomers of 4-hetaryl-2-pyrrolidone-3(5)-carbo- and 2-[4-hetaryl-2-pyrrolidon-1-yl]acetohydrazides were used in reactions with 2,4-pentanedione, providing (3R*,4S*)-3-, (4R*,5R*)-5-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-1-carbonyl)- and 1-[2-(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-2-oxoethyl]-4-hetaryl-2-pyrrolidones. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by spectral...
This microreview compiles methods for the synthesis of ortho-stilbazoles (2-styrylpyridines) described in the literature in 2017–2022. Depending on the synthons from which the target structure is formed, four main synthetic approaches can be distinguished: coupling reactions, Wittig reactions, condensation reactions, and pyridine ring formation reactions.
Condensation of 1,3-diethyltetrahydroimidazo[4,5-е]thiazolo[3,2-b][1,2,4]triazine-2,7-dione with isatins followed by framework rearrangement in the thiazolotriazine moiety was used to synthesize two new series of oxindolylidenetetrahydroimidazo[4,5-е]thiazolo- [3,2-b][1,2,4]triazine-2,7-diones and oxindolylidenetetrahydroimidazo[4,5-е]thiazolo[2,3-c][1,2,4]triazine-2,8-diones...
3-{[(1-Methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)imino]methyl}quinoline-2-thiol and 3-{[(2-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)imino]methyl}quinoline-2-thiol were synthesized. The sequence of the thiol-Michael reaction and the (aza)-Morita–Baylis–Hillman reaction yielded 4-[(1-methyl-1H-tetrazol-5-yl)amino]-2-phenyl-4H-thiopyrano[2,3-b]quinoline-3-carbaldehyde, 4-[(2-methyl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)amino]-2-phenyl-4H...
An efficient approach to the gram-scale synthesis of 3(5)-substituted, 1,3- and 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,4-triazole-derived building blocks is described. The key synthetic precursors – 1,2,4-triazole-3(5)-carboxylates (20 examples, 35–89% yield) were prepared from readily available acyl hydrazides and ethyl 2-ethoxy-2-iminoacetate hydrochloride. Further transformations were...
A summary of approaches developed for the synthesis of stable cyclic aza-peroxides is presented.
The reaction of 4-arylidene-2-phenyloxazol-5(4H)-ones with enamines of ethyl acetoacetate gave 4-aryl-2-methyl-6-oxo-5-[(phenylcarbonyl)amino]-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridine-3-carboxylic acid esters, which, when heated with phosphorus oxychloride, were converted into esters of 7-aryl-5-methyl-2-phenyloxazolo[5,4-b]pyridine-6-carboxylic acids. Alkaline hydrolysis of these compounds...

The reaction of 5-aryl-NH-tetrazoles with adamantan-1-ol in concentrated sulfuric acid proceeds regioselectively with the formation of the corresponding 2-adamantyl-5-aryl-2H-tetrazoles. Nitration of these compounds leads to 2-(adamantan-1-yl)-5-(3-nitroaryl)-2Htetrazoles. The structures and composition of the obtained novel 2-adamantyl-5-aryltetrazoles were proven by IR...
The review presents data on the synthesis as well as studies of biological activity of new derivatives of pyrimido[1,2-a]benzimidazoles published over the last decade. The bibliography of the review includes 136 sources.
The review discusses the use of the Dimroth rearrangement in the synthesis of condensed pyrimidines which are key structural fragments of antiviral agents. The main attention is given to publications over the past 10 years. The bibliography includes 107 references.
In this work, we analyze the latest data on the molecular docking of a range of SARS-CoV-2 proteins to protoporphyrin IX, verteporfin, and chlorin e6, as well as consider the prospects for using chlorins and porphyrins as agents for photoinactivation of the SARS2 virus.
Nonannulated tetrazolylpyrimidines in the structure of which the heterocyclic fragments are separated by hydrazinocarbonylmethyl, methylpyrazolyl groups or a sulfur atom were synthesized. Some of these compounds showed moderate in vitro activity against H1N1 subtype of influenza A virus. The selectivity index of the anti-influenza action of {5-[(4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl...
The review outlines the results of studies of the antiviral activity of quinoline, quinoxaline, and quinazoline derivatives published over the past 5 years. The supplied data indicate the enormous potential of benzazines for the design of effective antiviral drugs.
The minireview surveys the modification of native nucleosides as a result of which huge libraries of nucleoside analogs of various structures were synthesized. Particular attention is paid to the synthesis of the so-called prodrug forms of nucleoside analogs which ensure their penetration into the cell and metabolism to active 5'-triphosphate derivatives. All the best known...
The microreview summarizes data published since 2015 on the antiviral properties and synthesis of compounds containing the 1,2,4-triazole ring.
