Using two UV-spectrophotometric methods, the hydrolysis of tinidazole was studied at pH 1.00-8.45 at 80 degrees C. The reaction followed apparent first-order kinetics throughout the studied range. No kinetic salt effect was detected, indicating that at least one of the

1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene salts of 2-methyl-4(5)-nitroimidazole or benzotriazole were obtained in crystalline form. Michael-type addition of these salts to (4S,5R)-(E)-4,6-di-O-acetyl-5-hydroxy-2-hexenal gave, after acetylation of the product, an isomeric mixture of acetylated 3-(azol-1-yl)-2,3-dideoxy-D-arabino-hexopyranosides and 3-(azol-1-yl)-2,3-dideoxy-D-ribo-hexofuranosides. Reaction of these peracetylated adducts with trimethylsilylated thymine

The FTIR and FT-Raman spectra of 1,2-dimethyl-5-nitroimidazole and 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazole have been recorded in the regions 4000-400 and 4000-100 cm(-1), respectively. The conformational analyses were performed and the energies of the different possible conformers were determined. The geometry of different conformers

Three analogous 5-nitroimidazoles, having radiosensitizing and cytotoxic properties, have been studied by pulse-radiolysis in N2O-saturated aqueous formate solutions. Rates of formation of the radicals ImNO2-. are found to have little pH dependence. Decay of the radicals always follows second-order kinetics.

To study the synthesis and antibacterial activity of pyridonecarboxylic acid derivatives containing 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazol. Pyridonecarboxylic acid derivatives containing 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazol were synthesized primarily from 2-methyl-5-nitroimidazol, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, enoxacin via nucleophilic substitution and esterification. The antibacterial activity of the nine target compounds were
