A halogenmethylsulfonyl moiety is incorporated in numerous active herbicides and fungicides. The synthesis of tribromomethyl phenyl sulfone derivatives as novel potential pesticides is reported. The title sulfone was obtained by following three different synthetic routes, starting from 4-chlorothiophenol or 4-halogenphenyl methyl sulfone. Products of its subsequent nitration were subjected to the SNAr reactions with ammonia, amines, hydrazines and phenolates to give 2-nitroaniline, 2-nitrophenylhydrazine and diphenyl ether derivatives. Reduction of the nitro group of 4-tribromomethylsulfonyl-2-nitroaniline yielded the corresponding o-phenylenediamine substrate for preparation of structurally varied benzimidazoles.

Neat nitrobenzene was continuously irradiated at two ultrasonic frequencies: 40 and 200 kHz, under air and argon atmosphere, respectively. Samples taken at intervals of 1, 5, 10 and 24 h were analyzed by GC-MS and decomposition products were identified. Possible reaction mechanisms are discussed. Presence of air as dissolved gas leads to oxygenated compounds such as 1,4-benzoquinone, 2,4-dinitrophenol, m-dinitrobenzene while argon inhibits the decomposition of nitrobenzene, especially at sonication times under 5 h. Based on the nature of the compounds identified we advanced a mechanism, involving a divergent splitting of unstable radical cation of NB in air and argon respectively. Thus, under air, the phenyl cation formation is preferred leading to 1,4-benzoquinone nitro-biphenyls and dinitrobenzene, while under argon, the phenyl radical formation seems to be favored, leading to phenol and diphenyl ether. The oxygenated compounds detected under argon clearly are a consequence of the nitro group splitting.

Diphenyl ethers (DPE) and its analogs have exhibited excellent potential for therapeutic and industrial applications. Since the 19th century, intensive research is perpetuating on the synthetic routes and biological properties of DPEs. Few well-known DPEs are Nimesulide, Fenclofenac, Triclosan, Sorafenib, MK-4965, and MK-1439 which have shown the potential of this moiety as a lead scaffold for different pharmacological properties. In this review, we recapitulate the diverse synthetic route of DPE moiety inclusive of merits and demerits over the classical synthetic route and how this moiety sparked an interest in researchers to discern the SAR (Structure Activity Relationship) for the development of diversified biological properties of DPEs such as antimicrobial, antifungal, antiinflammatory & antiviral activities.

Abstract Protoporphyrinogen oxidase, the last enzyme of the common tetrapyrrole biosynthetic pathway, is inhibited by several peroxidizing compounds resulting in accumulation of photodynamic tetrapyrroles, mainly protoporphyrin IX. The inhibition characteristics of two chemi­cally unrelated compounds were studied using membrane bound protoporphyrinogen oxidase from corn etioplasts. As shown by Lineweaver-Burk-analysis, the inhibition of enzyme activity by the diphenyl ether oxyfluorfen and the cyclic imide MCI 15 are competitive with respect to the substrate. The competitive interaction of protoporphyrinogen and the two chemically un­related inhibitors indicate a relative specificity of the binding site. The reversibility of oxyfluorfen inhibition was evaluated by dilution experiments and was shown to be independent of the presence of DTT. The analysis of structure-activity-relationship on protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibition was investigated with para-substituted derivatives of phenyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-phthalimides. The results obtained by QSAR -calculation yielded a good correlation of the inhibitory activity determined by the lipophilicity of the para-substituent. These data point to one binding region of the inhibitors within a lipophilic environment associated with the active center of the enzyme.
