Elemental analysis and spectroscopic measurements were in good accord with the structures postulated for the new products. The antitumor activities of certain selected new compounds were screened, in vitro, against a panel of five (liver; HepG2; breast; MCF-7; lung; A549; colon; HCT116; and prostate PC3) human solid tu-mor cell lines.

Cyclizing the obtained Schiff base derivatives with thioglycolic acid afforded the respective thiazolylideneaminothiazolidenones. Condensation of 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone with ethyl cyanoacetate yielded a mixture of the bishydrazine and the cyanoacetohydrazide derivatives. Meanwhile, its condensation with ethyl acetoacetate produced a mixture of the monoketone and the β-diketone derivatives. Besides, the reaction of the starting hydrazone with malononitrile afforded a mixture of the cyanomethylylidene and cyanomethyl hydrazone derivatives beside the bishydrazine derivative. Elementary and spectroscopic measurements were in good accord with the structures postulated for the new compounds. The antitumor activities of certain selected new compounds were screened, in vitro, against a panel of four (liver, HepG2; breast, MCF-7; lung, A549; and colon; HCT116) human solid tumor cell lines. The cells that showed better activity were HepG2 and MCF-7. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) was also discussed.

diethyl(pyrrolidinomethyl)phosphonate, diethyl (1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl) methylphosphonate,
(diethylphospho) acetonitrile and diethyl 4-methoxybenzylphosphonate has been reported. Some of the

synthetic and biological importance via reaction with nitrogen nucleophiles. Benzylamine reacted with the furanone 2; the
product was found to depend on the reaction conditions. Thus, at room temperature the open-chain N-benzylamide 3 was
obtained, whereas under refluxing conditions the 3-(4-Nitrobenzylidene)-5-phenyl-1-benzyl-2(3H)-pyrrolone 4 was obtained.
Hydrazine hydrate affected ring opening of the furanone to give the corresponding acid hydrazide 5. The latter was used as
key starting materials for the synthesis of aminotriazole 17 and 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives 15a-c. The structural elucidation
of products is reported and also some of the products were screened for their antimicrobial activity.

and some of its derivatives. The rigid bicyclic chromone fragment has been classified as a privileged
structure in drug discovery, due to its use in a wide variety of pharmacologically active compounds;
few examples as therapeutic agents chromones are used as scaffolds for the development of bioactive
compounds, the application in medicinal chemistry, such as preparation of fluorescence probes, due to
photochemical properties of chromones have been also mentioned. This review is limited to the work
done during the last ten years.

There are hundreds of industrial applications of PTC for a variety of processes of organic synthesis and major advantages of PTC in industrial applications; which easily recognized in the given examples. Also, many synthetic approaches of PTC are discussed in this review.

They have also proved to have beneficial pharmacological effects. Organoarsenic compounds are produced industrially with uses as insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides. In general these applications are declining in step with growing concerns about their impact on the environment and human health. The parent compound is arsine. Despite their toxicity, organoarsenic biomolecules are well known.
