The importance of cooperative hydrogen-bonding effects has been demonstrated using novel 3-methylenecyclopropane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid (Feist’s acid (FA)) as hydrogen bond donor catalysts for the addition of indole and pyrrole totrans-β-nitrostyrene derivatives. Because of the hydrogen bond donor (HBD) ability, Feist’s acid (FA) has been introduced as a new class of hydrogen bond donor catalysts for the activation of nitroolefin towards nucleophilic substitution reaction. It has effectively catalyzed the Michael addition of indoles and pyrrole toβ-nitroolefins under optimum reaction condition to furnish the corresponding Michael adducts in good to excellent yields (up to 98%). The method is general, atom-economical, convenient, and eco-friendly and could provide excellent yields and regioselectivities. Some newly synthesized compounds were for examinedin vitroantimicrobial activity and their preliminary results are reported.

<p>A new class of bifunctional hydrogen-bond donor organocatalyst using oxoporphyrinogens with increased intramolecular hydrogen-bond donor distances is reported. Oxoporphyrinogens are highly non-planar rigid macrocycles containing a multiple hydrogen bond forming binding site. In this work we report the first example of non-planar OxPs as hydrogen-bond donor catalysts. The introduction of β-substituents is key to the catalytic activity and the catalysts are able to catalyze 1,4-conjugate additions and sulfa-Michael additions, as well as, Henry and aza-Henry reactions at low catalyst loadings (≤ 1 mol%) under mild conditions. Preliminary mechanistic studies have been carried out and a possible reaction mechanism has been proposed based on the bi-functional activation of both substrates through hydrogen-bonding interactions.</p>

In an attempt to find a new class of antimicrobial and antitubercular agent, a new series of chalcone, acetyl pyrazoline and amino pyrimidine bearing 1,3,5- triazine nucleus were synthesized with appropriate chemical reagent. Chalcones (D1-D5) were synthesized by the classical Claisen-Schmidt condensation of substituted ketone (C) with variously substituted aldehydes via conventional method. Now treatment of chalcones with hydrazine hydrate/glacial acetic acid and guanidine hydrochloride/Alkali afforded the corresponding acetyl pyrazoline (E1-E5) and amino pyrimidine (F1-F5) derivatives respectively. The chemical structures of all newly synthesized compounds were established on the basis of their FTIR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, LC-MS as well as elemental analysis. All the newly design compounds were assayed for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against selected pathogens by the Broth dilution method and in vitro antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv using Lowenstein-Jensen MIC method. Most of the compounds showed appreciable antimicrobial activity against the all tested strains. Among the synthesized compounds D1, D2, D3, E1, E3, E4, F3 and F4 exhibited excellent antimicrobial activity and said to be the most proficient members of the series. Compound D5 and F5 exhibited promising antitubercular activity.
