Several phosphorus-substituted N-acylated cyanoaziridines 2 and N-carbamoylated cyanoziridines 5 were prepared in good to high yields. N-Acylated cyanoaziridines 2 were used, after ring expansion, in an efficient synthesis of oxazoline derivative 3a and in a completely regio-controlled reaction in the presence of NaI. Conversely, N-carbamoyl cyanoaziridines 5 reacted with NaI to obtain a regioisomeric mixture of 2-aminocyanooxazolines 7. Mild acidic conditions can be used for the isomerization of N-thiocarbamoyl cyanoaziridine 6a into a 2-aminocyanothiazoline derivative 8a by using BF3·OEt2 as a Lewis acid. Likewise, a one pot reaction of NH-cyanoaziridines 1 with isocyanates obtained 2-iminocyanooxazolidines 9 regioselectively. This synthetic methodology involves the addition of isocyanates to starting cyanoaziridines to obtain N-carbamoyl cyanoaziridines 5, which after the ring opening, reacts with a second equivalent of isocyanate to give the final 2-imino cyanooxazolidines 9. In addition, the cytotoxic effect on the cell lines derived from human lung adenocarcinoma (A549) was also screened. 2-Iminooxazolidines 9 exhibited moderate activity against the A549 cell line in vitro. Furthermore, a selectivity towards cancer cells (A549) over non-malignant cells (MCR-5) was detected.

This work reports a straightforward regioselective synthetic methodology to prepare α-aminophosphine oxides and phosphonates through the addition of oxygen and sulfur nucleophiles to the C–N double bond of 2H-azirine derivatives. Determined by the nature of the nucleophile, different α-aminophosphorus compounds may be obtained. For instance, aliphatic alcohols such as methanol or ethanol afford α-aminophosphine oxide and phosphonate acetals after N–C3 ring opening of the intermediate aziridine. However, addition of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, phenols, substituted benzenthiols or ethanethiol to 2H-azirine phosphine oxides or phosphonates yields allylic α-aminophosphine oxides and phosphonates in good to high general yields. In some cases, the intermediate aziridine attained by the nucleophilic addition of O- or S-nucleophiles to the starting 2H-azirine may be isolated and characterized before ring opening. Additionally, the cytotoxic effect on cell lines derived from human lung adenocarcinoma (A549) and non-malignant cells (MCR-5) was also screened. Some α-aminophosphorus derivatives exhibited very good activity against the A549 cell line in vitro. Furthermore, selectivity towards cancer cell (A549) over non-malignant cells (MCR-5) has been detected in almost all compounds tested.

A novel series of 2-(1-((1-substitutedphenyl-1H-1,2,3- triazol-4-yl)methoxy)ethyl)-1-((1-substituted phenyl- 1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (3a-j)derivatives was synthesized in moderate to high yields. The structures of all the synthesized compounds were characterized by 1HNMR, 13CNMR and Mass spectroscopic methods. The title compounds were screened for their anti-oxidant activity and anti-cancer activity. The cancer activity results reveal that the compounds 3j, 3b and 3f are showing promising activity and remaining compounds exhibited moderate activity against all the tested cancer cell lines. The anti-oxidant activity also shows that the compounds 3c and 3d have shown excellent activity and remaining compounds were also found to exhibit moderate activity against the test organisms employed.

A highly selective one-pot synthesis of polysubstituted isoflavanes has been developed. The reaction proceeds through the cycloaddition of methyl styryl ethers, derived from phenylacetaldehyde dimethyl acetals under acidic conditions, with electron-withdrawing ortho-quinone methides generated in situ. When phenylacetaldehyde dimethyl acetals were reacted with salicylaldehydes, the reaction proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding isoflavanes stereoselectively in high yields and with excellent regioselectivities. The present reaction provides versatile access to functionalized isoflavanes, and constitutes a useful tool for the synthesis of biologically active molecules.

Some benzylidenehydrazides (3a-e) have been synthesized in three reaction steps from anthranilic acid in good yields, about 70% - 99%. The structures of the synthesized compounds were analyzed using spectroscopic methods. The compounds were evaluated its activity against human lung cancer, A549 cell line by MTT method and studied its molecular docking onto the protein tyrosine kinase (PDB ID: 1M17) by using Molegro® vs. 5.5. The data showed that N-(2-(2-(4-nitrobenzylidene)hydrazinecarbonyl)phenyl)benzamide (3d) which synthesized in 70% yield and has the highest activity on inhibiting the growth of A549 cell line with IC50 10.9μg/mL, which was linier with our in silico study. Compound 3d has the smallest RS value -94.44 kcal/mol, lower than selected Ligand, Erlotinib.
