Abstract:
Three new hydrazide and five new hydrazonoyl derivatives were synthesized. The chemical structures of these compounds were confirmed by 1H-NMR, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The prepared compounds were tested for their activity to inhibit photosynthetic electron transport in spinach chloroplasts and growth of the green algae Chlorella vulgaris. IC50 values of these compounds varied in wide range, from a strong to no inhibitory effect. EPR spectroscopy showed that the active compounds interfered with intermediates Z•/D•, which are localized on the donor side of photosystem II. Fluorescence spectroscopy suggested that the mechanism of inhibitory action of the prepared compounds possibly involves interactions with aromatic amino acids present in photosynthetic proteins.

The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by...

Preparation of 1° Amines: Azide Synthesis
Azide ions act as good nucleophiles and react with unhindered alkyl halides to form alkyl azides. Alkyl azides do not participate in further nucleophilic substitution reactions, thereby eliminating the chances of polyalkylated products. Alkyl azides are reduced by hydride-based reducing agents, like lithium aluminum...
