In this work, we report the unexpected conversion of a pyridine derivative into the corresponding N-benzylated pyridinium salt due to the presence of unreacted benzyl bromide in the crude product. This transformation was observed at room temperature in a solvent-free environment and without any stirring. These interesting data show how pyridinium salts can be formed in mild conditions, avoiding high temperatures that could promote the degradation of the desired product.

As part of our ongoing research into the antileishmanial properties of amidoxime derivatives, we report a preliminary assessment of the antiparasitic properties of a novel compound, diethyl (5-benzyl-2-(4-(N′-hydroxycarbamimidoyl)phenyl)-5-methyl-4,5-dihydrofuran-3-yl)phosphonate. This compound was evaluated in vitro for the first time against the promastigote form of Leishmania amazonensis. Compounds containing both amidoxime and phosphonyl functional groups in dihydrofuran scaffolds are relatively rare, despite the extensive study of this heterocycle in various biological applications. Therefore, this work makes a valuable contribution to the fight against Leishmania spp. as a neglected disease. The cyclized 4,5-dihydrofuran intermediate scaffold was obtained via a three-step synthetic route that had previously been developed for accessing other derivatives, including the sulfone moiety. This synthesis was performed using a manganese-based free radical oxidative method under microwave irradiation. The intermediary 4,5-dihydrofuran, which included a nitrile group, tolerated the subsequent reaction with hydroxylamine hydrochloride, resulting in the formation of the target product. The target compound showed moderate activity in vitro against the promastigote form of L. amazonensis (IC50 = 91.1 µM).

Viologens are a highly advantageous class of compounds for the synthesis of functional materials. Owing to their versatile structure, they can embed additional conjugated moieties, thus representing a convenient platform, for example for organic semiconductors and other energy-related uses. A straightforward synthesis of an extended viologen containing a bithiophene is described here, together with its UV-visible absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, showing multiple absorption and emission bands. Thanks to its ease of synthesis and optical properties, this organic salt appears to be of potential interest for various optoelectronic applications.

A novel single crystal of (3-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,5-dihydroisoxazol-5-yl)methyl benzenesulfonate has been synthetized via a one-pot sequential strategy under sonication. The single crystal has been investigated using X-ray diffraction analysis. Hydrogen bonding between C–H···O and C–H···N produces a layer structure in the crystal. According to a Hirshfeld surface analysis, interactions H···H (28.9%), H···O/O···H (26.7%) and H···C/C···H (15.8%) make the largest contributions to crystal packing. The optimized structure and the solid-state structure that was obtained through experiments are compared using density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-311 G + (d,p) level. The computed energy difference between the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) and highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) is 4.6548 eV.

The X-ray structure of the title compound, formed at low conversion in the reaction of thiosalicylic acid with thionyl chloride, has been determined. The acid chloride groups are oriented to permit an attractive non-bonding O…S interaction. Mechanisms are suggested for the formation of this unexpected product. 1H and 13C NMR data are also reported for the first time for the major reaction product, 2-mercaptobenzoyl chloride.

The development of new selective fluorogenic probes for monitoring microbiological objects and cellular compartments may help to determine the mechanism of pathogenesis of new pathogens in living cells. The easy and reliable synthetic strategy for the direct preparation of chemically pure styryl dye (E)-3-heptyl-2-(4-thiomorpholinostyryl)benzo[d]thiazol-3-ium iodide is described. The photophysical properties in different solvents and in water medium neat and in the presence of the dsDNA and RNA of the dye is demonstrated and compared with that of the known structure analogue. The cellular uptake and the ability to bind cell organelles is determined. The introduction of a heptyl substituent attached to the quaternary nitrogen atom of the benzothiazole ring leads to an improvement in the photophysical properties of the dye.
