Síntese e avaliação biológica de calcogeno-oxadiazóis e calcogenotetrazóis ; Synthesis and biological evaluation of chalcogen oxadiazoles and chalcogen tetrazoles

This work first describes the synthesis of the starting materials, the 1,2,4- and 1,3,4-oxadiazoles, from arylamidoximes and arylhydrazides derivatives, respectively. These two precursors were previously reacted with the 2-chloroacetyl chloride, and after cyclodehydration formed the desired heterocycles in satisfactory yields (10 examples, 67-99 %). The heterocyclic starting materials were submitted to aliphatic nucleophilic substitution reactions (SN2) against calcogenolates derived from arylic and alkylic disselenides and thiols. The selenolates were obtained in reducing medium of NaBH4 and anhydrous ethanol, whereas the thiolates were formed by treatment of thiols in basic medium of Et3N, so that the products from these substitutions were obtained in good yields (41 examples, 25-99 %). Some aspects of the methodologies employed were also studied, and some statements are possible, because when using tellurium don’t occurred the formation of the desired products, and also the formation of by-products unwanted. Secondly, the heterocyclic starting materials were re-subsumed to the SN2 reactions, but now, against potassium chalcogenocyanates (KSCN and KSeCN) in acetonitrile and the presence of an ammonium salt (TBAB), which aimed to catalyze reactions of aliphatic substitutions. The molecules from these reactions were obtained in excellent yields (12 examples, 69-92 %), which were subsequently submitted to the cycloaddition reactions (3+2) with NaN3, in a solution of toluene and Et3N.HCl, to form the respective 1H-tetrazoles (12 examples, 49-99 %). The products obtained contain, in the same molecule, the oxadiazolic, tetrazolic and chalcogen core. Chalcogencyanates and tetrazoles were further evaluated in vitro for their antioxidant properties by reducing the DPPH radical and Mo (VI) to Mo (V), so that two chalcogencyanates and one tetrazole presented good results for the phosphomolibidenium test. The cyclic voltammetry technique was also used to evaluate the redox potential of these compounds. Some compounds ...
