Two series of 3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole derivatives containing alkoxy substituents different in size and position were synthesized and their structures were characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds were assessed for their antiproliferative activity against colon cancer cell line (SW480). The results indicated that the size and position of the alkoxy group significantly influenced the antiproliferative activity. The highest cancer cell growth inhibition values were observed for the compounds containing 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl groups in their structures (57.74, 54.14 and 60.70% at 50 μM for compounds 5a, 12b and 14, respectively). The synthesized compounds were also subjected to DPPH protocol for evaluating the antioxidant activity. The results showed that all compounds had moderate to high levels of antioxidant capacity as compared to ascorbic acid as standard, the highest free radical scavenging capacity of 75% was observed for compound 4a at 50 μM.

We have developed a method for the esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols using amphipathic, monolithic-resin bearing sulfonic acid moieties as cation exchange functions (monolith-SO3H). Monolith-SO3H efficiently catalyzed the esterification of aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids with various primary and secondary alcohols (1.55.0 equiv) in toluene at 6080 °C without the need to remove water generated during the reaction. The amphipathic property of monolith-SO3H facilitates dehydration due to its capacity for water absorption. This reaction was also applicable to thioesterification, wherein the corresponding thioesters were obtained in excellent yield using only 2.0 equiv of thiol in toluene, although heating at 120 °C was required. Moreover, monolith-SO3H was separable from the reaction mixtures by simple filtration and reused for at least five runs without decreasing the catalytic activity.

A novel robust diphosphine-ruthenium(ii) complex has been developed that can efficiently catalyze both the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol and its in situ condensation with carboxylic acids to form methyl esters; a TON of up to 3260 is achievable for the CO2 to methanol step. Both aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids can be transformed to their corresponding methyl esters with high conversion and selectivity (17 aliphatic and 18 aromatic examples). On the basis of a series of experiments, a mechanism has been proposed to account for the various steps involved in the catalytic pathway. More importantly, this approach provides a promising route for using CO2 as a C1 source for the production of biofuels, fine chemicals and methanol.
