Abstract
Catalyst-free regiospecific amination at the C-4 position of 3-benzoyl-4‑chloro-6-phenyl-2H-pyran-2-one precursor 3 was explored using various aminating agents such as ammonium acetate, primary aliphatic and aromatic amines in methanol. Structural investigation mainly based on NMR and X-ray single crystal analyses are presented. In addition, topology analysis of molecular packing was performed using Hirshfeld calculations. The antimicrobial activity of the newly synthesized aminated analogues compared to their β-enamino-pyran-2,4‑dione isomers was assessed against S. aureus and C. albicans. In general, the β-enamino-pyran-2,4-diones displayed better antimicrobial activity against S. aureus and C. albicans compared to their C4-aminated isomers and conventional medications (Neomycin, Streptomycin, and Amoxicillin + Co-amoxiclav).
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
