Several 5-cinnamoyl- and 5-(ethoxycarbonyl)-6-styryl derivatives of 4-aryl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-ones were obtained and their physicochemical properties were investigated. The introduction of alkyl substituent in position 1 of dihydropyrimidine ring was shown to promote the Claisen-Schmidt reaction on acetyl group only; without the alkyl both acetyl and 6-methyl groups participate in the reaction.

Peptide-based hydrogels (PHGs) are biocompatible materials suitable for biological, biomedical, and biotechnological applications, such as drug delivery and diagnostic tools for imaging. Recently, a novel class of synthetic hydrogel-forming amphiphilic cationic peptides (referred to as series K), containing an aliphatic region and a Lys residue, was proposed as a scaffold for bioprinting applications. Here, we report the synthesis of six analogues of the series K, in which the acetyl group at the N-terminus is replaced by aromatic portions, such as the Fmoc protecting group or the Fmoc-FF hydrogelator. The tendency of all peptides to self-assemble and to gel in aqueous solution was investigated using a set of biophysical techniques. The structural characterization pointed out that only the Fmoc-derivatives of series K keep their capability to gel. Among them, Fmoc-K3 hydrogel, which is the more rigid one (G’ = 2526 Pa), acts as potential material for tissue engineering, fully supporting cell adhesion, survival, and duplication. These results describe a gelification process, allowed only by the correct balancing among aggregation forces within the peptide sequences (e.g., van der Waals, hydrogen bonding, and π–π stacking).

Current trends in the search for new biologically active compounds among synthetic molecules have arguably proved a priority in studies of the heterocyclic 1,2,4-triazole system. For many years, 1,2,4-triazole derivatives remain the object of close attention of scientists of various scientific fields. The unique properties of 1,2,4-triazole derivatives include high reactivity, which allows different modification of this system, practical absence of toxicity of these derivatives and the presence of a wide range of biological, pharmacological properties, which in the complex provides the prerequisites for the creation of new biologically active compounds, and in the future, active pharmaceutical ingredients (AFI). The aim of our work is to investigate some transformations in a number of derivatives of 5-(thiophen-3-ylmethyl) -4-R1-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol, to study the physicochemical properties of the new synthesized compounds. A well-known fact remains the successful attempt of many scientists involved in the study of the heterocyclic 1,2,4-triazole system to synthesize potential biologically active compounds. The process of creating new molecules is very painstaking and requires considerable effort. The chemical approaches for the synthesis of the starting compounds required for further transformations are well known and described. Therefore, we used the corresponding N-R1-2 as intermediates for the synthesis of new 5-(thiophen-3-ylmethyl) -4-R1-1,2,4-triazole-3-thiols appropriate ones were used N-R1-2-(2-(thiophen-3-yl) acetyl) hydrazinocarbothioamide.

Chlorophyll (Chl) and bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) pigments, which are crucial cyclic tetrapyrroles in photosynthesis, generally have a chiral center in their exo-cyclic five-membered E-ring. Although [Formula: see text]-epimers (primed-type) of (B)Chl pigments are rarely present in photosynthetic organisms, they play key roles in photosynthetic reaction center complexes. The epimerization mechanism of (B)Chl pigments in vivo has not been unraveled. The structural effects on the physicochemical properties of (B)Chl epimerization reactions provide useful information to tackle this question. We analyzed epimerization of three pigments, BChl [Formula: see text], Chl [Formula: see text], and 3-acetyl Chl [Formula: see text], to elucidate the structural factors that are responsible for epimerization reactions. We compared the epimerization kinetics of the three pigments and concluded that the bacteriochlorin skeleton (7,8,17,18-tetrahydroporphyrin) significantly retarded the epimerization kinetics. Thus, BChl [Formula: see text] exhibited slower epimerization kinetics than Chl [Formula: see text] in spite of the presence of the electron-withdrawing 3-acetyl group that accelerates epimerization. In contrast to the large structural effects of (B)Chl molecules on epimerization kinetics, the thermodynamic properties at equilibrium in the epimerization of the three pigments were barely influenced by their molecular structures. This study also demonstrates that a semi-synthetic pigment, 3-acetyl Chl [Formula: see text], is appropriate for comparative analyses of the structural effects of BChl [Formula: see text] and Chl [Formula: see text] on their physicochemical properties.

Convenient preparations of synthetically useful acetals, a dithioacetal and an oxathiolan from the 2-acyl derivatives of 2-hydroxyaryl aldehydes under basic conditions are described. The mildness of the reaction conditions is illustrated by the formation of an ethoxycarbonyl -substituted dioxolan . The reaction is dependent upon an intramolecular acetyl group transfer and the mechanism of the reaction is discussed. Some broader implications of this type of acyl transfer are discussed.

A novel method to prepare the macrocyclic compound locating substitution derivatives of chitosan was investigated, by using cyclodextrin as the model of macrocyclic compound. The method combines the advantages of activated 6-OH of chitin and high efficiency of click reaction. Chitin C6-OHp-toluenesulfonate (CTN-6-OTs) was generated and subsequently transferred to chitin C6-N3via nucleophilic substitution. Afterwards,β-cyclodextrin was immobilized at 6-OH of chitin via click reaction to afford CTN-6-CD. Ultimately, CTS-6-CD was obtained by removing the acetyl group of chitin unit. The structures and properties of these products were characterized by FTIR, TG, and XRD, respectively. It was found that CTN-6-CD synthesized at the optimum conditions has an immobilized loading of1.6126×10-4 mol/g and that of the corresponding CTS-6-CD, generated by removal of the acetyl group, was1.6891×10-4 mol/g.
