Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to invite you to submit to this Special Issue in Applied Sciences, entitled “Advances in Organic Synthetic Chemistry”. We are seeking the latest research on advances and developments in novel methodologies in (bio)functional compound syntheses.

Studies of new reactions or synthetic methodologies are welcome. Manuscripts that focus on novel synthesized compounds for different applications, such as materials, photonics, biology, or electronics, among others, are also encouraged. We also seek submissions that develop protocols or processes that are more sustainable, atom-efficient, and without waste/residues, or that use greener solvents.

Original work highlighting the latest research developments is encouraged; however, review papers and perspective manuscripts are also welcome.

Dr. José A. González-Delgado
Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

Abstract
In this paper, we present the synthesis, characterization and evaluation of antiproliferative activity for four compounds carrying the 4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl scaffold. The synthesis of 1,n-bis-(4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl) alkanes was carried out using as starting reagents the dihydrazides of oxalic, malonic, succinic and adipic acids, using mercaptoacetic [...] Read more.
In this paper, we present the synthesis, characterization and evaluation of antiproliferative activity for four compounds carrying the 4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl scaffold. The synthesis of 1,n-bis-(4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl) alkanes was carried out using as starting reagents the dihydrazides of oxalic, malonic, succinic and adipic acids, using mercaptoacetic acid dianion as a leaving group, by a one-pot synthesis method implemented in our research group for the synthesis of 3-substituted-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazoles. The compounds were obtained with modest yields (12–60%) but with good purity and were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Also, the stability of the synthesized bis-triazoles was investigated under controlled thermal stress in a dynamic oxidative atmosphere. The last part of the study consisted of biological activity evaluation, by evaluating the antiproliferative activity against the A375 line (human malignant melanoma), as well as on viability of the BJ fibroblast cell line, using MTT and LDH assays.

Fifteen amine derivatives of cinnamic acid were synthesized by reaction of the corresponding benzaldehydes and malonic acid. The selected acids were then converted into methyl esters. Three esterification methods were tested with (1) thionyl chloride in methanol, (2) sulfuric acid in methanol, and (3) dimethyl sulfate in acetone. The latter method turned out to be the best, both in terms of reaction efficiency and product purity. The chemical structure and purity of all the synthesized compounds were verified by elemental analysis, 1H and 13C NMR, and IR spectroscopy. The cinnamic acids and their esters, thanks to an extensive system of conjugated double bonds compared to analogous benzoic acids, can be used to obtain dyes for various applications, including non-linear optics and optoelectronics. Therefore, their basic spectroscopic properties are presented as well. Full article
