Novel highly functionalized 1,4-naphthoquinone 2-iminothiazole hybrids: Synthesis, photophysical properties, crystal structure, DFT studies, and anti(myco)bacterial/antifungal activity
Gemili, Muge | Nural, Yahya | Ülger, Mahmut | Erat, Selma
In this paper, a series of novel highly functionalized 1,4-naphthoquinone 2-iminothiazole hybrids were synthesized via a cyclization reaction of 2,3-diaminonaphthalene-1,4-dione N-aroylthioureas and alpha-bromoketones in good to excellent yields (74-94%). The stereochemistry of one of the 1,4-naphthoquinone 2-iminothiazole products was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction technique. Photophysical properties of the compounds in DMSO, HAc and THF were determined by using UV-vis spectroscopy. The ground state geometries and the absorption spectra of the compounds were also determined using Density Functional Theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) at B3LYP/631 + g(d,p) level of theory. The computed results are consistent with experimental values. An antimicrobial screening w...

Ince, Tuncay | Demir, Bunyamin | Erat, Selma | Nural, Yahya
Novel pyrrolidines linked to 1,2,3-triazole derivatives, dimethyl 1-(2 (4-R-1H 1,2,3 triazol-1-yl)-acetyl)-5,5-diphenylpyrrolidine-2,4-dicarboxylate, were synthesized in the presence of sodium ascorbate and copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate by click chemistry in excellent 89-95% yield. The H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, DEPT, COSY, HMQC, FT-IR, HRMS and elemental analysis techniques were used for structural characterization. A single crystal X-ray diffraction study was performed in order to determine the stereochemistry of the compounds. The optimization geometry of the compounds was obtained by performing density functional theory. However, the global reactivity parameters were estimated from frontier molecular orbitals. The calculated global reactivity parameters showed that the most reactive compoun...
A new mechanism for selective recognition of cyanide in organic and aqueous solution
Nural Yahya
A simple colorimetric and fluorimetric chemosensor 3,5-dinitro-(N-phenyl)benzamide (DNBA), was synthesized for selective determination of cyanide anion in organic and aqueous solutions via novel chemodosimeter approach. The chemosensorDNBAshowed a chromogenic and fluorogenic selective response to CN(-)against competing anions such as F-, AcO-, and H(2)PO(4)(-)in organic (DMSO and ACN) and in aqueous solutions (in DMSO/H2O: 8:2, v/v). The intensive colorimetric and fluorimetric color changes were observed in ambient light and UV-light (lambda(ex). 365 nm) after cyanide interacted withDNBA. A method that can be used in the synthesis of new biologically active benzisoxazole compound was described by the reaction ofDNBAwith TBACN and KCN in DMSO or DMSO/H2O, respectively. All interaction mecha...
1,4-Naphthoquinone thiazoles: Synthesis, crystal structure, anti-proliferative activity, and inverse molecular docking study
Efeoglu, Cagla | Demir, Bunyamin | Yabalak, Erdal | Nural, Yahya
In this study, 1,4-naphthoquinone thiazole hybrids were synthesized by reacting 1,4-naphthoquinone thioureas with various alpha-bromoketones in 78-86 % yields and characterized using 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FT-IR, and HRMS techniques. Furthermore, single crystal x-ray diffraction studies were also performed for 3b and 3c hybrids to determine stereochemistry. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were performed to obtain additional information and to support the x-ray studies. The in vitro anti-proliferative activities of 1,4-naphthoquinone thiazoles were investigated against PC3 human prostate cancer cells. The products 3a-h showed antiproliferative activity against PC3 cells, and the cell viability studies showed that the IC50 values of compounds 3f and 3e were 20.10 mu M and 21.14 mu M, ...
Synthesis of novel acylthioureas bearing naphthoquinone moiety as dual sensor for high-performance naked-eye colorimetric and fluorescence detection of CN− and F− ions and its application in water and food samples
Nural, Yahya | Karasu, Elize | Efeoglu, Cagla
In this study, six new acylthiourea, bearing naphthoquinone moiety, sensors were synthesized in high yield (88-96%) and characterized using H-1/C-13 NMR, FT-IR and HRMS techniques. All synthesized sensors (4a-f) showed shifts in absorbance and colorimetric changes by CN-, F-, AcO-, and H2PO4-. However, 4e showed a chromogenic different sensitivity response to CN- and F- against competing anions such as AcO- and H2PO4- in DMSO. Furthermore, CN- added 4e showed an increase at the emission intensity and intensive fluorimetric color change was observed in UV-light (lambda ex. 365 nm). All sensors showed chromogenic selectivity towards CN- in aqueous solutions (in DMSO/H2O: 1:1, v/v). Interaction mechanisms between 4e and CN- and F- anions were investigated by experimental studies using various...
