Abstract:
A series of novel heterocyclic sulfonyl-carboximidamides were synthesized in satisfactory yields via condensation of heterocyclic methyl carbimidates with 2-chlorobenzenesulfonamide and 4-chloropyridine-3-sulfonamide. New structures were confirmed by IR and NMR spectra as well as elemental analyses. X-ray crystallography of two derivatives was performed. The single-crystal structures confirmed the presence of a primary amine group in the amidine moiety. All the compounds were screened for their tuberculostatic, antibacterial, and anticancer activities. Preliminary results indicated that target compounds exhibited weak tuberculostatic and antibacterial activities. Seven compounds inhibited the growth of some cancer cell lines, whereas one of the 2-quinoline derivatives displayed favorable activity against all tested cancer cells with GI50 values of 0.92-13 μM.

Preparation of Amides
The DCC-promoted synthesis of amides begins with the protonation of DCC by carboxylic acid. The protonation makes it a better acceptor. Next, the addition of carboxylate to the protonated carbodiimide gives a reactive acylating agent.
Subsequently, the amine acts as a nucleophile that attacks the acylating agent to form a tetrahedral intermediate. In the...
Adrenergic Agonists: Chemistry and Structure-Activity Relationship
Aromatic ring substitutions: Substituting the aromatic ring with –OH groups at positions 3 and 4 yields catecholamines (e.g., epinephrine), which have a high affinity for adrenoceptors. Hydrogen bonding between –OH groups and receptors enhances adrenergic activity.

Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
