5,7-Dihydroxy-2,3-dimethyl-l,4-naphthoquinone (5) and related compounds have been synthesized. The quinone affords an accessible substrate for studying an unusual reaction with nucleophiles, which involves attack at the 8-position, i.e. at the benzenoid ring. An unsuccessful approach to (5) has led to tri- and tetra-nitro derivatives of 2,3-dimethylnaphthalene. Reduction of the former and subsequent conversions have given aminonaphthoquinone and perimidinone derivatives.

Background: Nitro-derivatives of heterocyclic compounds were used as active agents against pathogenic microorganisms. A set of 4- and 5-nitroimidazole derivatives exhibiting antimicrobial activity was analyzed with the use of Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSAR) method. The study included compounds used both in documented treatment and those described as experimental. Objective: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the common and differentiating characteristics of the above-mentioned chemical compounds alike physicochemically as well as pharmacologically based on the quantum chemical calculations and microbiological activity data. Methods: During the study PCA and MLR analysis were performed, as the types of proposed chemometric approach. The semi-empirical and ab initio level of in silico molecular modeling was performed for calculations of molecular descriptors. Results: QSAR models were proposed based on chosen descriptors. The relationship between the nitro-derivatives structure and microbiological activity data was able to class and describe the antimicrobial activity with the use of statistically significant molecular descriptors. Conclusion: The applied chemometric approaches revealed the influential features of the tested structures responsible for the antimicrobial activity of studied nitro-derivatives.

para Substituted chloro, bromo, and nitro derivatives of 2-acyl-5-phenylfurane are reduced polarographically in a one-electron wave to the corresponding anion radicals, which were studied by the EPR method. The reduction of nitro derivatives, studied by the Kalousek switch, is reversible and leads to a stable anion radical with an unpaired electron center on the nitrogen nucleus; the reduction of the halogen derivatives is only partly reversible and leads to unstable ketyl radicals. The bromo derivatives give polarographic maxima typical for concurrent reactions.

N,N-Dialkyl derivatives of 3-aminoisoquinoline have been prepared by reaction of nitriles with various arylacetic acid tertiary amides in the presence of phosphoryl chloride. The synthesis has been extended to include a benzoisoquinoline and annulated isoquinolines by the selection of appropriate amide and nitrile precursors.
