SULFUR EXTRUSION FROM DISULFIDES BY CARBENES

The present invention relates to a method for preparing a compound T having a thioether group from a compound D having a disulfide group in the presence of a carbene.

Benzylic Thio and Seleno Newman-Kwart Rearrangements

The thermally induced OBn → SBn and OBn → SeBn migration reactions facilitate the rearrangement of O-benzyl thio- and selenocarbamates [BnOC(=X)NMe2] (X = S or Se) into their corresponding S-benzyl thio- and Se-benzyl selenocarbamates [BnXC(=O)NMe2] (X = S or Se). A series of substituted O-benzyl thio- and selenocarbamates were synthesized and rearranged in good yields of 33-88%. The reaction rates are higher for substrates with electron-donating groups in the 2 or 4 position of the aromatic ring, but the rearrangement also proceeds with electron-withdrawing substituents. The rearrangement follows first-order reaction kinetics and proceeds via a tight ion pair intermediate consisting of the benzylic carbocation and the thio- or selenocarbamate moiety. Computational studies support these findings.

Preparation and in-vitro evaluation of 4-benzylsulfanylpyridine-2- carbohydrazides as potential antituberculosis agents

A set of 4-benzylsulfanylpyridine-2-carbohydrazides was synthesized and evaluated for in vitro antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, non-tuberculous mycobacteria, and multidrug-resistant M. tuberculosis. The activities expressed as the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) fall into a range of 2 to 125 μmol/L, most often 4 to 32 μmol/L. The results revealed that the substituents on the benzyl moiety do not influence the antimycobacterial efficacy. The substances exhibited similar activities against sensitive and resistant strains of M. tuberculosis. Furthermore, compounds show low antiproliferative effect and cytotoxicity.
