The enantioselective transformations of indoles preferentially take place in the more-reactive azole ring. However, the methods for the enantioselective functionalization of the indole benzene ring are scarce. In this paper, a series of bifunctional (thio)urea derivatives were used to organocatalyze the enantioselective Friedel−Crafts hydroxyalkylation of indoles with isatins. The resulting products were obtained in good yields (65–90%) with up to 94% enantiomer excess (ee). The catalyst type and the substrate scope were broadened in this methodology.

The torsional angles in 31 N-phenyl-substituted azole derivatives have been estimated by use of the 13C substituent chemical shifts of the meta and para carbon atoms. Steric interaction between the C 5 substituent on the azole rings and the ortho hydrogen atoms of the benzene ring is the major cause of non-planarity in these compounds. The azole rings undergo structural deformation with varying substituents on the azole ring. The inductive effect of a number of azole and azolium rings is discussed.

In the title urea derivative, C9H12N2O, the dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the mean plane of the urea group, N—C(=O)—N, is 86.6 (1)°. In the crystal, the urea O atom is involved in three N—H...O hydrogen bonds. Molecules are linkedviapairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with anR22(8) ring motif. The dimers are linked by further N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming two-dimensional networks lying parallel to (100).

Hereditary ochronosis in very few cases has been examined electron microscopically or histochemically. In this disease homogentisic acid, a normal intermediary of tyrosine metabolism, forms in excessive amounts. This is believed to be due to absence or defective activity of homogentisic acid oxidase, an enzyme system necessary to break the benzene ring and to further break it down to fumaric and acetoacetic acids. Ochronotic pigment, a polymerized form of homogentisic acid, deposits mainly in mesenchymal tissues. There has been a question whether the pigment originates from the collagenous tissues, or deposits passively, where in contrast to melanin it induces degenerative changes.

Coumarin and its derivatives are widely spread in nature. Coumarin goes to agroup as benzopyrones, which consists of a benzene ring connected to a pyronemoiety. Coumarins displayed a broad range of pharmacologically useful profile.Coumarins are considered as a promising group of bioactive compounds thatexhibited a wide range of biological activities like anti-microbial, anti-viral,antiparasitic, anti-helmintic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anticancer,anti-oxidant, anti-proliferative, anti-convulsant, and antihypertensiveactivities etc. The coumarin compounds have immense interest due to theirdiverse pharmacological properties. In particular, these biological activities makecoumarin compounds more attractive and testing as novel therapeuticcompounds.

This article presents studies on the targeted search for new derivatives of azoles, such as benzthiazole, 3,5-dimethylpyrazole, 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thione, 1,3,4-thiadiazole. The possibility of combining in one molecule of the azole ring with other cyclic compounds: the alkaloid cytisine, morpholine, furan and some arenes has been studied. To obtain new compounds, the reactions of bromination, acylation, and interaction with isothiocyanates were studied. Optimal synthesis conditions were studied for all reactions. It was found that the reaction of 4-bromo-3,5-dimethylpyrazole with isothiocyanates, in contrast to the previously written derivatives of anilines, takes a longer time and requires heating the reaction mixture. The combination of a pirasol fragment with halide substituents often results in an enhanced therapeutic effect. The synthesized 2-bromine-N-(6-rodanbenzo[d]thiazole-2-yl)acetamide, due to the alkylbromide group, is an important synth in the synthesis of new benzthiazole derivatives. Its derivatives combine in one molecule the rest of rhodanbenzthiazole with alkaloid cytisine and biogenic amine morpholine and are potentially biologically active compounds, since the molecule structure contains several pharmacophoric fragments: benzthiazole and alkaloid (amine) heterocycles, rhodane and urea groups. The mechanism of formation of 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-tyons from hydrazides under action on them by carbon disulfide was studied and assumed. It was shown that dithiocarbamates in acidic medium decompose with the release of hydrogen sulfide and the formation of highly reactive isothiocyanate group. Then, intra-molecular cyclization occurs, with the formation of end products - 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thions. The structures of the synthesized compounds were studied by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. All synthesized substances are potentially biologically active compounds, since they contain several pharmacophore fragments in their structure.

Spiro hexagonal chains are a subclass of spiro compounds which are an important subclass of Cycloalkynes in Organic Chemistry. This paper addresses general spiro hexagonal chains in which every hexagon represents a benzene ring, and establishes the formulae for computing the Hosoya polynomials of general spiro hexagonal chains.

29Si and 13C NMR spectra of five 4-substituted 2,6-dimethoxytrimethylsiloxybenzenes were studied with the aim to elucidate the nature of the deshielding proximity effects observed in the spectra of ortho substituted trimethylsiloxybenzenes. The sensitivity of 29Si chemical shifts to para substitution is in the studied compounds essentially the same as in mono ortho methoxytrimethylsiloxybenzenes. The deshielding proximity effect of the ìsecondî methoxy group is somewhat smaller than that of the ìfirstî group. The present results indicate that the two methoxy groups assume coplanar conformations with the benzene ring and are turned away from the trimethylsiloxy group which is not in the benzene plane. It is argued that in mono ortho methoxytrimethylsiloxybenzenes the two substituent groups adopt the same conformations as in the compounds studied here.

3-Methylfluorene-9-propionic acid (1) with hydrofluoric acid undergoes ring-closure on the substituted ring to give 1,2,3,10b-tetrahydro-5-methylfluoranthen-3-one (II).Wolff-Kishner reduction of the ketone yielded l,2,3,10b-tetrahydro-5-methylfluoranthene which on dehydrogenation gave 2-methylfluoranthene (III, R=H) identical with a sample prepared according to the method of Tucker (1952) and differing from 8-methylfluoranthene. This proved that ring-closure of (I) had occurred as expected on the methyl-bearing benzene ring. In this instance ring-closure occurs in the position meta to the methyl group and is reminiscent of the similar ring-closure of 2-phenyl-2-p-tolylpropionic acid to give 6-methyl-3-phenylindanone (Pfeiffer and Roos 1941). It thus provided a further example of the limitations of von Braun's statement that Friedel-Crafts ring-closure occurs much less readily at the position meta to a methyl group than on a phenyl ring (von Braun, Manz and Reinsch 1928).
